Ngannou seemed way more relaxed than he does in MMA. It's weird to say but in MMA he still looks like an amateur fighter to me. I thought his fight against Gane was the worst hw title fight since Lesnar/Carwin. I really could see him losing to some no name scrub in the PFL. I really believe he should stay in boxing. His physical attributes are hard to deal with in boxing.
I mean, he was fighting on a torn ACL when he fought Gane. Makes sense he didn't look his best. Also, how can you see him losing to a PFL scrub when he beat literally every UFC heavyweight he faced except Lewis? (which was an extreme outlier). Just curious what you're seeing, specifically. Also, his physical attributes are hard to deal with in MMA too lol. They're what allowed him to get away with his amateurishness when he was still on the come-up.
Among Mexican MMA fans people call him "Francis NOgannou" (it souns a lil' bit like "No gano", which meas "I don't win"... or at least not convincingly).
I always thought Francis Ngannou's fight were somewhat boring, and this boxing match wasn't fireworks or anything, however, it was impressive how he handle his debut in a total different combat sport!!
Another wonderful article! Francis continues to be inspiring beyond imagination.
Reading this article i remembered that i never see much clinching in the boxing gym. Has anyone ever seen coaches teach clinch work?
Awesome article. Tyson looked awful, Ngannou looked great. Boxing decisions are what they are, everyone knows it at this point (and every point for the last century) so who cares, we know what we saw.
ngl this is definitely me when i kill the king by losing a decision
Excellent article
hell yeah
Killing the king, you already know Jack is COOKING.
Been waiting for this to drop!
