    Few months back I would have said AJ would outbox him, but not sure now. Ngannou certainly caught everyone attention against Fury andAJ style suits him better. Longer it goes, I see Ngannou by stoppage around 8.

    AJ to stop him and make it look relatively straightforward.

    I do think Fury took his fight with Ngannou exceptionally lightly. Credit to Ngannou, but I think having footage of him actually boxing is a big advantage. There won’t be any complacency from Joshua, because it sets up a potential Fury fight in the future, and a ridiculous payday.

    That Tyson fight is a lose lose for Paul. If he wins, he bullied an old man. If he loses, he loses to an old man.

    I see what you’re saying, but have started to disagree.

    I see this sort of boxing in the same way I see a bunch of celebs playing football. I guess it’s uglier to see, because an old legendary fighter could get hurt, but they both know the risks.

    I actually get more * off at legit boxers entertaining this stuff, when they’re not fighting regularly.

    It's intriguing absolutely. Davison seems tomhave focused AJ somewhat, so think it'll be a far more measured performance from AJ for sure. He can't leave his chin out there though. AJ is favourite but has to be smart about it

    To be fair to Mike Tyson, he looks in good shape.

    That clip is 4 years old but I bet he can still move

    Doubt AJ will ko francis…his chin was great in mma, smaller gloves. AJ should be aiming to win on points fair play to him for taking it cos Ngannou lands once and he’s getting knocked out himself.

    Scouser absolutely robbed against the lanky Mexican, win the fight cleanly fair and square.

    Parker always puts on a good show, fears no *. Fair play.

    Zhang has freakish power.

    How bad are these Saudi shows though? More atmosphere in the Mitchell Library.

    tbh I'm bored of this fight.

    I just want AJ to get knocked out so I can go to bed.

    Actually found this decent. Zhang’s power keeps in interesting. Parker boxing well too.

    Atmosphere is * though. Miss Showtime boxing.

    Glad for Parker. Toughed it out and wanted it more.

    Still lots of vulnerabilities, but has out himself in line for another shot at the elite of the division.
