Title: Joshua Vs Ngannou set for March 8th. Predictions
Post by: pawel7777 on January 10, 2024, 12:44:27 AM
Everybody wondered what's the next move for Francis Ngannou and here it is. The fight with Anthony Joshua is confirmed and will happen on 8th of March this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - the same place Ngannou was fighting Fury and lost only by a split decision, giving an incredible performance.

What are your thoughts on this fight? Some say it's a slap to the "real" boxing, as Ngannou is not even ranked, but I think he earned this opportunity by performing great against Tyson Fury.

My thought on the match is for Anthony Joshua to prepare himself physically, and mentally as he fights against Ngannou on the 8th of March because whoever wins or loses will define the person's future in the boxing ring federation.

I would advise Anthony Joshua to take the match against Ngannou as seriously as ever if he wants his name to be heard of or to fade away in years to come. To me, Ngannou is not an upcoming boxer but a bulldog boxer who can knock his fellow boxer off if given the opportunity of not defending well against him

I am all in on Ngannou this time, and I was never a fan of Joshua.
Lets not forget that Mike Tyson is probably going to be in corner of Francis Ngannou again, and I am sure he is going to be only better in his next boxing fight.
My concern is that he is going to love boxing so much that he might consider stop his MMA carrier after he finishes MMA Road to Africa project.
I would dare to say that Ngannou is now one of the best heavyweight fighters on earth both in MMA and boxing, and I know Dana is not sleeping good because of him  ;D

Joshua has a slight advantage here because he's been boxing for a very long time and his expertise is boxing, but when it comes to power Ngannou is the more dangerous between the two and Ngannou can take Joshua's punch, Ngannou has fought some of the biggest punchers in MMA, Ngannou only needs to connect big punches to throw off Joshua's game.
Joshua needs to take this fight seriously do not think that it is because this is Ngannou's second fight he can take him for granted Fury did it and look what happened.
It will be a very interesting scenario if Ngannou beat Joshua and Fury beat Usyk, the two will have a rematch for the undisputed title this time.

OK, I just learnt that not only is Ngannou ranked by the WBC, he is ranked as No 10 contender, meaning he could technically be allowed to fight for the belt:
https://wbcboxing.com/en/heavy/

How did that happen despite him only having one fight and one loss? It's a mystery to me.

It is no mystery for me.
He dominated world champion in boxing Tyson Fury, put him on the floor, and judges didnt have the balls to make him a winner in this fight.
And I am saying this knowing that I love watching Fury fights and I have big respect for him, but he was not taking Ngannou seriously enough.

they need that for the fight to be legitimate and of course they can make huge pay.  i think Francis can win this fight with decision by just following his same fight plan against Fury. just keep saving his gas tank in case AJ suddenly just go rouge throwing combos.

this is the rumor by the way. $20M aside from the PPV, that's gotta be bigger than his entire UFC career.

Yeah, it is. Even when he fought against Fury, there were reports that Ngannou didn't make much money in his boxing career in UFC. Only a night of boxing in WBO changed his financial status hugely. This $20M is the highest of them all. If Ngannou performs more than expected of him against Joshua, his boxing money would increase in whoever ''heavyweight champion'' he fights next in the future. That's the logic

We all know that, but I imagined the ranking was based simply on wins or losses, but this suggests they either award ranking points for style as well, or maybe there's no defined algorithm and the whole thing is based on someone's judgement.

Francis allegedly made around $10 mils fighting Fury (who got 5 times more). Is it possible he could make twice as much against Joshua? Absolutely, he proved he's not a pushover in boxing and put himself in a position when it's his team that dictates the terms.

It is possible to earn even more.
I dont know if you heard about MMA fighter Paige Michelle VanZant, but she earned more money in 24 hours from her new OnlyFans account than here entire lifetime earnings from UFC  ;D
I am not at all suggestion that Francis Ngannou should create OnlyFans account, but there are other ways to earn money except fighting.

I'm not interested in whores and prostitution and find it impossible to find even a shred of respect for anyone using OF.
But I've never heard of her, so probably she was not a high achiever in the UFC, so it's not that hard to exceed earnings if those weren't that high in the first place.
Also, UFC doesn't pay much, we all know that.

onlyfans is like the trend in the coming years they say. entrepreneurs will need to pay the onlyfans page of an investor just to pitch their newly invented product. so onlyfans may not just be for the girls.   a patient will need to pay the onlyfans for the dentist appointment  ;D  not sure if its true.

Francis by the way ranked 10th in WBC and AJ is the 1st.  he'd be a big shot already once he defeats AJ and his rank goes up too. i think he will be challenged by the top guys after. Wilder was among those who wanted to fight Francis which I think they will be doing this too and maybe some more fights before he'd be given a title shot again.

Paige Michelle VanZant is not a whore, she is married woman and have kids.
I think she is doing usual stuff with her husband and taking clothes off but in front of cameras  ;D
You know UFC pays very little when some fighter decides to do things like this, and I think others will follow her example.

Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua First Face Off:




Title: Re: Joshua Vs Ngannou set for March 8th. Predictions
Post by: pawel7777 on January 16, 2024, 12:45:36 AM
I've checked the odds and to no surprise, AJ is a favourite:
AJ to win: 1.26
Francis to win: 3.85

So even know he's an underdog, according to bookies Ngannou is not without a chance, less than x4 pay out is not a massive one.

I think Francis will approach this fight with much more confidence than in the first fight with Fury, but I'm not sure if that will work in his favour or the opposite - if he gets relaxed too much, he could get punished.
He definitely looked more confident than AJ during the face off. I almost suspect Anthony acts like he's a bit afraid and withdrawn on purpose to get Francis to feel overconfident and make more mistakes.

Selling sexual content = whore. Nothing to discuss here. You can only feel sorry for her kids.

Is this what OF representatives are telling young men nowadays to make them more at ease of spending their hard-earned money on pixels of e-whores like a total cucks? Come on.

Than you should not watch most movies that are coming out, you should not watch tv, and you should not use internet like most people, because nudity is now everywhere.

Lets get back to boxing now.
Francis Ngannou said yesterday that he is going to do something nobody has done
His win against Joshua would be biggest boxing sensation in many years and people will take MMA more seriously.

I don't. But there are plenty of good, older movies, or non-Hollywood ones, that do not include unnecessary sex scenes. TV is garbage and nobody watches it anyway and there's a lot more to the internet than porn.
If you're one of those guys that send money to e-whores (hope not) then, instead of looking for excuses and following the "everyone is doing it" mentality - have a break and think about what are you getting out of it. There is NOTHING good about simping and watching porn. You're just damaging yourself and pissing your life away. The world needs men more than ever. Be one.

His win against Joshua would be biggest boxing sensation in many years and people will take MMA more seriously.

Nah, after the Fury fight, everyone knows what Ngannou is capable of, so him defeating AJ wouldn't be a shock. It'd be pretty bad for boxing as a whole, if anyone from the outside of the sport could just show up and manhandle guys from the top.
But for comparison, the decimal odds for Francis to win are around x3.8 and for Andy Ruiz, for his 1st fight with AJ, they were at x12.0, and Ruiz still managed to win.

No I dont send money to them, and I dont watch most of the stuff I wrote, but I know it is hard for young people to avoid all this.
For others gambling can be worse than watching onlyfans, they can sell everything, lie and deceive people just to continue gambling and having the next fix.

Tom Aspinall touched on that in his interview + he commented on Fury Vs Ngannou, saying that Tyson did not underestimated Francis and he was properly prepared.

When they asked Tom Aspinall if he would like to fight against Francis Ngannou he said that he never refused a fight against anyone.
He is a good fighter but Ngannou would crushed him both in MMA and in boxing heavyweight category, but first he needs to pass over Jon Jones  ;D

The judges really rob Ngannou of the world heavyweight title. The whole world knows that he won and the judges don't have the balls to call him the winner because it will somehow for him to fight for the first time in the boxing ring, to dethrone the champion "Fury".

For the judges, It will be ideal and acceptable to declare Ngannou a loser in the fight against Fury rather than declaring Fury a loser. That's what played out in the fight between both, last year.

This year, they want to test Ngannou's capability with Anthony Joshua to check whether he would knock him down the floor, the same way he did Fury.

WBC is always interfering with the rest of the organization despite the WBO bigger than them.  the council seem to have more roles in the mafia  ;D
but its true though, Frank certainly gain huge fans not just the council but the Saudis. when it comes down to making money, it would be best to keep the council decide since they know better.

i think Franc will still deliver what is expected, he could win the fight with AJ and then this will legitimately rank him above which he could be challenged with tough fights.
Aspinal vs Ngannou?  Tom is much faster by the way. he isn't the usual HW but Ngannou defeated Cyril Gane who is also an agile fighter like Aspinall.

Francis would destroy Aspinall in a boxing match, but my money would be on Tom if they fought in MMA. Ngannou didn't impress in that fight against Gane, and Tom is way better than Ciril, plus, unlike Gane he is an all-round fighter who comes from a Brazilian jiu-jitsu background and is a black belt. But he's perfectly capable of defeating Francis with striking alone, he proved his abilities in the clash against Pavlovich.

You have a point there mate but for me, that was a close fight and could go either way and somehow awarded Fury the win as the latter had a bigger fight ahead of him, the Fury vs Usyk fight is what the boxing community wants. The consolation for Ngannou is he got to fight AJ.

The last thing that will be on Anthony Joshua's mind is how to quit to fight Ngannou. It is very unimagined for him to think of such an act, no matter how Ngannou thinks of himself to be an underdog.

Every UFC fighter has their time to be at the top of the limelight to appear unbeatable. This is the time for Ngannou to feel that way but we shouldn't forget that Anthony Joshua once felt that way in the eyes of everyone years back but where is he today? Thus, we should expect a tough fight between both as they battle it out next month.

No way I dont agree with that!
Ngannou has whole new set of skills now and I am sure he is the best heavyweight fighter in MMA now, and one of the top boxing fighters.
Aspinall is not bad but guy already lost three times and even from average Curtis Blades in 2022.
Only way he could win against Ngannou is if Francis uses one  arm or one leg in that fight.
Joshua losing from Francis would be a cheery on the cake.

I don't think the fight between the two is going to happen but I'm betting on Francis to knockout Aspinall ;D You can say that he's the more versatile fighter with his black belt jiu-jitsu but that doesn't mean he has the chin to absorb the power of Francis. He may never have a chance to execute a takedown.

Have you placed your bets on the fight yet? I'm looking at the odds right now and the only one that makes it worthwhile is the odds for fight going the distance @4.30

Too early to place a bet for this fight as this would happen on the 8th of March but that odds is attractive for since Ngannou is a hard nut to crack while Joshua will be extra careful here not to be hit by one of those bombs that Francis would unleased so the probability of this fight to go the full distance is high at least for me.

Oh come on  ;D
There's no way you can become a better MMA fighter by focussing entirely on boxing.
As for Aspinall, he has only one real loss in his record back from 2015. The other losses was disqualification (illegal elbow) and knee injury (against Blades).
Meanwhile Francis has losses from 2018. He got defeated by Stipe and Derrick Lewis.

But this fight won't happen, so we'll never know...

He was already the best MMA heavyweight fighter, that is why only he could go out and fight two top guys in boxing and nobody else could do that.
Ngannou has MMA defeats but  he improved a lot since than, changed training routine, food, and hired better coaches.
And lets not forget that he was on Dana White black list because he wanted better terms for all UFC fighters.

Did you see anyone calling Aspinall for boxing?
No you didnt  ;D

"Was" is the key word here. You can not step into the same river twice. His going back into the MMA now would be a different reality with different opponents. Look at his last MMA fight - he struggled against Gane and look what did Jones do to Gane. Francis would get the beating from both Jones or Aspinall.

And lets not forget that he was on Dana White black list because he wanted better terms for all UFC fighters.

Props to him if true, but I don't quite buy it. I don't think he was doing any sort of negotiations on his own, he has a manager for that (who is doing a great job so far).

No he didnt struggled against Gane at all, it was unanimous decision win.
Joshua lost two times from Usyk, and if Fury did the same to Wilder, so anything can happen.
But do you want to have a bet between us that he is going to win any fighter in his next MMA fight?

Haha, no sane man would take such bet. Who knows who will he be fighting next (if he ever returns to MMA). He might be fighting some bum in an exhibition fight for all we know.
But feel free to poke me if Ngannou Vs Aspinall ever comes to fruition. If we were to go 50/50 that would be a better rate for me than any bookie would be able to offer.

I will, dont worry ;)
Look, as Tyson Fury injured himself in training, now Ngannou have the chance to become undisputed boxing champion, and that is enough for me.
I am open to any sidebet you want, and I think you should join Sportsbet BSFL for next season, if you already didnt do that.

I don't think Fury's injury had any effect on Francis' chances of becoming the undisputed champion. Fury Vs Usyk just got postponed and that's it.

I am open to any sidebet you want

If you believe in Francis so much and want to do a 50/50 bet on AJ Vs Ngannou, count me in. We could do it with or without escrow, depending on the amount involved.

A little update. Anthony Joshua offered himself to act as a replacement for injured Fury, since Usyk declared he was keen on fighting on the 17th anyway.

The offer got declined by organisers, but AJ will act as a back up fighter for Usyk, in case he would pull out of the rescheduled date of 18th May:

That was a strange move from AJ's team given he's scheduled for the Ngannou fight on 8th March. Either he doesn't take Francis too seriously, or he knew the offer had zero chances of getting accepted and it was just a stunt.

If you believe in Francis so much and want to do a 50/50 bet on AJ Vs Ngannou, count me in. We could do it with or without escrow, depending on the amount involved.
I will think about it but I proposed our bet to be in MMA not in boxing.
You are proposing 50/50 bet and I have much better chances at any other bookmaker that made Joshua a huge favorite to win, so I am not that stupid  ;D

Desperate move from him  ;D
Now he is going to make Ngannou really angry for their fight.

Strange move indeed and it's an act of disrespect to Ngannou which would just add fuel and motivation for him to defeat and punish Joshua for his act.

How come that he became the back-up for Usyk as he has a contract to fight Francis on March 8, merely three weeks after the Usyk scheduled fight. For me this move is alarming on Team Ngannou as their opponent is not seriously taking them.

Haha, you can't blame me for trying my luck.
It doesn't make sense to make any member-to-member bets on sports events on the forum (unless you live in a jurisdiction where sports betting is banned etc), one person would always get a worse payout rate than they would get on betting sites + there's an extra hassle with either escrow or drafting terms etc.

Nah, the Fury Vs Usyk fight got postponed to 18th May. So if AJ comes out of the Ngannou fight relatively unharmed, he would be ready to fight as a backup. But, in an unlikely scenario of AJ getting KOed by Francis, he probably won't be able to fight in May as recovery from the KO should take months. In such case maybe Francis could act as a backup.

I think you are making chicken excuses now ;D
It is not that complicated and we already have personal bets all the time in bitcointalk forum for many sport events.
We have to agree on any event with terms and make this written in public post for everyone to see.
After match is finished loser needs to send agreed amount to the winner address.

Ngannou said that he is coming for Joshua soul, but odds are not dropping  ;)

And what would be the benefit of doing that over just placing a bet on the sports betting site? What am I missing? It's not like you get any better odds (maybe very slightly).

No middle man, no third party, direct p2p, no fees for winner, more fun, fair play against another player, no kyc, no coins getting frozen, and I can go on and on.

Back to boxing, Mike Tyson is seriously getting involved helping Ngannou and his coach to prepare for fight against Joshua!

I see what you did there. Most of the things you mentioned are literally one thing just phrased differently  ;D
As I said before, it makes sense only in 2 scenarios: if you can't use an online betting site, or if the odds are much better. Otherwise, it's just slower and overall less convenient. For smaller bets tx fees can make it not worth it, for bigger bets you'd want an escrow (which would charge fee) to mitigate the risk of the losing side not paying.

The video you posted is no longer available, it looks it was made private. But yeah, having the Iron Mike on his side benefited Francis in his first fight, so keeping the cooperation going is definitely a good call. Despite his age, Tyson still has it, and it must be motivating to have him around during training.

I dont know why that video is private now, maybe Tyson demanded for it to be removed  ;D
There is a different video I found and both Tyson and Ngannou are going really hard preparing for this fight.
Looking how Tyson moves now I would never say that he is 57 year old
