MaVilla Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 the fact that an MMA fighter, with 1 previous professional fight (and the first was against Fury - wtf), gets to fight on such a stage, and have such a big deal made of it, tbh, shows what a joke boxing has become. Not putting down, Ngannou, good for him, but it does highlight what a state boxing is in, when an ex MMA fighter and Jake Paul are pulling a lot of the boxing headlines. Outside of one or two fighters, boxing is a joke these days, its more pantomime than WWE. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down the the divisions, domestically and internationally and there are great fighters and great fights happening. The HW division is the pantomime but the rest of it isn't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Either Fury literally did not train for one second for Ngannou or he is completely starched. Maybe both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Did not expect that from Joshua at all. The funny thing is, that will totally put Fury off a unification fight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly will be watching reruns of Inoue today to purge my system of last night’s nonsense. Did I hear that Pacquiao is fighting Connor Benn as well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 That last knockdown nearly folded him in half. Glad to see Joshua gaining a bit of form lately he was rock bottom not so long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Even though we all know Fury didn't train to much for the fight with Ngannuo, he also took it as a bit of a exhibition fight, when Ngannuo took it very serious. Last night AJ looked like he wanted to prove a point, a statement, an new it would be embarrassing to lose or even go all the way. Proves also how hard these guys punch too, Ngannou was a huge guy, but went down like a lead balloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 What is the draw with these not boxers going fights with actual boxers or other not boxers? People seem to love it, I just don't get it. Then again I don't get the celebrity cooking, baking, dancing, ice skating or being locked up in a house with cameras either so maybe it's a me problem.

Parker got put on his arse twice, only clipped, but won I the end. I think probably on his superior style, though didn't seem to worry Chang too much.

mikeyp102 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Where does Joshua go now? The Fury fight never looks like it will happen. He’s lost to Usyk and beaten Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker vs zhang was an interesting fight, Parker did really well,ducking under Zhangs range, took a couple of heavy shots, two knock downs but battle through and took it on points. Parker has a huge heart, great boxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
