Heavyweight boxing is on its arse

Comeback to that when (if) AJ v Fury fight. Will be one of the biggest boxing events ever, even one of the biggest sporting events ever.

Go back a 1000 or so pages and many on here completely write of AJ as ‘finished’

It’s going to take someone to get seriously hurt or killed before they put a stop to this crossover nonsense.AJ has done what that gobshite Fury should have done and put this circus to bed

Fury was not taking it seriously and thought it was just a show fight and never trained for the fight.
But he soon found out Ngannou was not playing around, By then it was too late and Fury lost the fight even though they gave him the win on the scorecards,

Aj 100% did and respected Ngannou and trained and did a proper training camp and his homework.
Boxing is an art form and anybody who thinks they can walk into the sport and beat Great Boxers are daft.

In fairness, not sure you should judge him on beating someone who doesn't know how to box

They're NOT completely different sports, though, are they?

There are MMA fighters that rarely kick or grapple and use boxing as their main skill in the ring, so you can't say someone will get seriously hurt, like they're amateurs at it. It's not the same for everyone, especially if the gloves are smaller in MMA.

Admittedly Ngannou is a champion athlete, I was specifically thinking of these you tuber twats who think they are as good as professional boxers. They might be as good as Tommy Fury who is a clown but the public will clamour for these dicks to come across proper boxers like I heard Paul has called out Canelo Alvarez. That will only end one way

He was defending himself like an mma fighter with his hands protecting himself as if he was defending a kick to the side of the head and AJ smashed him straight through his guard

Someone that can knock down Fury knows how to box

Joshua was very mobile and loose, his decision to drop weight was the right one. Probably his best fight for some years and puts him back up the pecking order, the Fury fight needs to happen soon.

He didn't have a guard.

He got knocked down the first two times throwing punches, the third time he stuck a limp left out. He wasn't defending himself any of the times. His rear hand was in front of his face the final time, not stuck to his temple like a kickboxer.
