Why not start a thread to follow the card

Card starts at 4pm UK time. First 2 hours are free on Sky Sports Action I believe

One thing I would say is if you're a betting man (or woman), I'd take the bet on Joshua under 0.5 knockdown for the fight. I've never seen Francis Ngannou hurt I'm any of his professional fights. He's never been knocked down or anything he's a beast. So decent value

Agreed mate. You see I've been watching Ngannou for years in UFC. The guy is a machine. It is frightening how powerful his punches are. I just can't see AJ beating him at all. Heck even Tyson Fury struggled against Ngannou. Gave him a shock and half.

Surely AJ has realised from the Fury Ngannu fight that it needs be taken more serious than an exhibition match!

If not I can see Ngannu charging out like a bull and putting AJ under immediate pressure with big punches and if one connects its lights out AJ and I don't think he has the ability to get up off the floor

Depends very much on which AJ turns up. He's well past his best before date now but may rise to the occasion. Ngannou is strong and his chin is tested. He will have refined from his dodgy loss to the big dosser and really think he will KO AJ and end his career. Done in under 7.

Wow. Put my head on the block there!

I think if he comes out of his corner and treats it as a proper fight and trained accordingly he should win with his superior boxing ability.

Tysoe Furey obviously didn't train properly or even take the fight seriously and just turned up for the money.

Aj has a better boxing iq and boxing pedigree.

If Aj goes into this fight to box (as in the art of boxing) he'll get the win.

If he chooses to stand in the middle of the ring and trade,or gets drawn in to going toe to toe, he's getting knocked the fuck out!!!

"If Ngannou doesn't put AJ away the first 6 rounds, it'll go the distance with A.J. winning on points."

A very good call, the only chink in Ngannou's armour is his engine, he's not used to going 10 rounds as a norm.

Boxing and the amount of time (rounds) are very new to him but he is one hell of a powerful unit with a good and proven chin.

Good undercards can make up for it but it depends how strongly you feel for your man or woman in the ring. If you just want the result or a war.

Don't feel ripped off if it was a competitive fight (on paper).

Hagler v Hearns only went three rounds but is one of the greatest fights ever.

AJ did what he was supposed to do against a novice boxer. I thought he'd killed him

Hopefully this will help him regain his confidence.

Think about it if AJ lost they will only be one more big fight pay day for fury and Usk after that it's a wrap because these guys are getting older n older so I believe they had to let aj win and drag this out a little more.

No mob involvement it’s sports washing funds

Why would saudi arabia public sports fund fix the fight for him to loose when they investment in to him is well in to the 300 million mark at this point

60 for furry and 70 for this and a cool 200 million investment in to PFL the mma org that he’s currently singed to
