AJ is now officially a true seasoned veteran.He really showed many layers of growth to his game in the fight vs Ngannou. We can't accuse AJ of just being a stiff robotic puncher anymore.

After those 2 losses and learning experiences from fighting a grandmaster boxer like Usyk, Joshua's blade is probably as sharp as its ever been. Like what happened to Canelo after his loss to Floyd.

Exactly right I'm thinking Francis wasn't much concerned with Fury's punching power. It was the complete opposite with AJ, from the get go Francis appeared to be much more respectful of AJ's speed & power.

Excellent breakdown. Really enjoyed this. Love hearing the technical aspects and the “why” of a fight. Was scratching my head as to why Ngannou went southpaw but this gives me a good idea of what he was thinking. And Paulie, as far as Hearn, his job is to promote Joshua. He’s always going to sell the praise of his own guy. Of course he’s going to run in the ring and say AJ is the best. Joshua didn’t say that himself.

Great breakdown. Ngannou over-reaching with the parry is a very common 'beginner' mistake. Once he became _worried_ about what was coming his way and not merely just aware of it, it was over. He's still done really well though. His resume is pretty damn good for a two fight novice pro lol. I'd like to see him fight Wilder tbh, I'm genuinely not sure who would win.

Anthony Joshua was on another level, his absolute peak, we are basing Francis is lack of boxing success on crazy data.

The disrespect was right. He hit Francis on that last knockdown as hard as he’d hit a punch measuring machine at an arcade. Just walked up and full-blooded cracked him with zero resistance or respect.

Ciao Paolo ti seguo sempre. Sono onesto ero solo preoccupato per la salute di Ngannou... ma mi interesserebbe il tuo pensiero sul match di Madrimov e se lo consideri una vera minaccia. Non credi paghi un po' in fisicita' ?

It wasn’t the jabs. It was the feints and the set ups. Basically, his brain. He just knew what to do to set francis up and see francis holes in his game and had the ability to capitalise. Francis has major holes in his defence because of fighting in mma. His guard isn’t as tight as it needed to be and he constantly was trying to parry AJ’s shots and completely missing. Soon as francis switched too AJ dropped him because his defence was even more open than in orthodox. That was clearly a trigger for AJ to throw a straight right. I like Dewey cooler but the fact that francis pretty much only used his right hand a few times which is his biggest weapon is strange. He pretty much has resorted to only using his left hook which Joshua read all day long. Even the overuse of the parry is something they should have ironed out training for boxing. Using his orthodox defence whilst in southpaw should have been a big reason to never use that stance. AJ is just too experienced and had the tools to hurt francis and exploit his weaknesses and holes in his defence in the way that fury couldn’t. Don’t think anyone at heavyweight could have done that as efficiently as AJ other than maybe zhang because of his power. Parker maybe because he’s developed a lot and is a smart boxer but francis wouldn’t have been stopped as quick, Usyk would have taken longer to hurt francis too, Fury couldn’t do it. AJ was literally THE worst opponent francis could have fought in boxing. Great performance but respect to ngannou.

AJ has been looking Great since he started training with Chris Jericho

That was a brutal ko. Francis reflexes sliw

You have a great channel my friend

Great analysis. In fairness to Zhang, he's 40, he knows he gasses out after a few rounds, and his gameplan was to land a few big shots and get the knockout. On less hardy guys, that can definitely work, but Parker is a tough fucker. His knockout to Joyce was one of those things; that was a great punch which would have knocked out most heavyweights.

The reason Nganou wasn't following Furys faints is bevause he wasnt bothered by Furys power.

ngannou literally closes his eyes when you throw at punch at his face, when you know that, stopping him becomes easy.

Nobody told AJ he had to fake box so that these companies can keep selling us these WWE style boxing matches.

Ngannou is just a man, AJ was MORE MAN than him 💯

From previous remarks on the subject, it sounded like Ben Davidson would be sitting out of an Aj Fury fight. Has Aj learned enough from Ben in this short time to stay in this style without getting tentative with a different trainer

In the past AJ has only been performing at 60% Now we are seeing him fulfil his true potential

I don't think that Ngannou was worried about anything after that second knockdown, I think he just wasn't there. He was just standing there with no reaction waiting to be killed because he had nothing left.

Wilder zhang back2bck shows he is at the highest level of the heayweight div he can compete with the bigger guys in the division and if he can come out victorious against zhang in the rematch he will probably be made full wbo champ in the aftermath of the undisputed fight between fury and usyk.

Fury vs Joshua in the uk would sell out 500.000 seater stadium if it was possible.

Paukie is the. Best

In the heavyweight division one punch can end a fight

This fight came down to Frances foolishly switching to southpaw got hurt and that was it.

AJ stopping Francis life that makes Fury look like a bigger clown. Last night the better boxer got into the ring with Francis. Fury also didn't have the power to stop Francis if he tried

AJ is one of the best Heavyweights in the world. This AJ gives Usyk a far better fight the previous. When AJ fight on the front foot like he used to, hes destructive. off the back foot, hes dogger.

I don’t think it was the jab as much as it was the feints!

I thought Parker would win but I think Zhang is still very dangerous for almost anyone outside the very top guys.
