Even though I am a fan of AJ I have to say that the sweet science of boxing just entered his vocabulary. He is using range and distance.

Ok @random & @lex.... Here are some excuses: - Dog ate my homework - There was a traffic jam that’s why I’m late - The fight was a 3am - I drank a bottle of wine last night and was hung over See a pattern? What Francis said was that he wasn’t feeling mentally there. Have you ever had a bad day at the office? A presentation gone wrong? A date gone wrong because you were too nervous? That’s essentially what Francis was relating. Here’s the difference: He didn’t put the blame on anyone or anything else, other than how he was feeling. Look up internal vs external locus of control.

For everyone saying he was drugged go watch the fury fight…and the first round against aj before he gets tagged he’s boxing exactly the same maybe even better

Anything is possible, all things mentioned is possible. The only proof we have is what we can see so far. Even the majesty mentioned ngannou must lose to boxing to bring back order. Francis was drugged to bring back this order. If he won it would be an absolute disaster for boxing & many powerful people couldn’t have that. Powerful people have the means to sabotage things like this. It’s not out of the realm of possibility. Would what was used to drug him even come up on the drug test? Maybe not.

Francis learned the levels against AJ but he has secured his future now.

I love Francis but i think he got beat by a better boxer whos been doing it at the highest level for years. And he got a false sense of confidence after taking Fury to a split decision. A Fury that badly underestimated him. Francis will never beat Joshua in a boxing match. The skill level gap is way to big. Andd Joshua is a powerpuncher and Fury is not. Hopefully he stays in MMA

Francis stood at the center ring to challenge AJ, he clearly underestimated AJ which was the beginning of his downfall, AJ performed better because he even overrated him and prepared for a hitman that can punch very hard. I still don’t understand what he’s saying about not being in that fight. Francis practically traded with AJ at the beginning of the fight and he even looked a lot sharper compared to Fury fight. That straight right hand was something he didn’t see coming and it was too clean. Everyone should watch the highlights again, Francis was in that fight and a lot sharper, that knockdown changed everything. He’s just too arrogant and in self denial to admit AJ’s power.

@FactsandReelsForall

Ай бұрын

Exactly AJ trained a lot for this fight and he was too much for Francis. Crumbled him very quickly.

Francis is experiencing his first K.O that's what is all about. He should talk to people with multiple experiences...

I think Francis's MMA instincts worked against him. He was doing massive parry's particularly with AJ's body shots and it left huge gaps in his defence. He'll get better and learn better boxing instincts over time. Even Ben Davison believes he improved massively and would give most heavyweights a hard time. Tighten up his defence and don't react so much to feints and i think he could be a real force in boxing over the next few years. This i think is a valuable learning experience for him.

My love for Francis will never drop.. he's an inspiration

The training camp wasn’t good because your guard was all over the place and you switched stance like it was nothing expecting to confuse AJ. Dude, AJ just fought one of the best Southpaws ever, he’s bitter about it and wants his belts back. You honestly think he’s not been working on how to defeat Southpaws. Right now AJ’s on one and he ain’t going to let no mma fighter mug him off by disrespecting him. Unless you’re Crawford, no boxer going to start switching stances in front of someone that has won most his fights by knockout. When someone in sparring starts with all that bs of switching stances, they are saying they don’t respect you. When that happens, you apply pressure and don’t allow someone to start getting comfortable. It’s not rocket science. It’s one of the most basic things you get taught in an amateur boxing club, are you right handed or left handed, stop switching because you’ll get confused 🫤 and end up in trouble

Excuses. When you're the challenger, you're summoned to the arena earlier. Everyone knows that. 1 hour difference in arrival is not that big a deal if you're as tough as you told everyone. Only one thing led to this loss : overconfidence. He already looked beyond AJ and called out Tyson Fury. A pride comes before a fall. So long to the dream boxing career

Everyone gets caught, McGregor got caught by Poirier, Usman got caught by Leon, Volk got caught by Topuria and i can go on for days, it's the name of the game in combat sport.

Sounds like Francis finally discovered what boxing is all about. What he is describing is what people who have never boxed feel when they box for the first time. AJ showed him what boxing is really about. It’s a different feeling. Tro7ble is he just won’t accept that he really is the novice that that fight illustrated. The Fury fight gave him false confidence.

Wow when Francis said 'thats the moment I came back' it makes me think that AJ literally knocked Francis' sense of self out of him 😮

You still my champ, you did this to many and they still move on. Let's not forget, AJ was just regaining after some time of lack or down because of loses. I know Francis shall be back fighting for everyone who believe him
