Is this what you know? It was obvious Nganu was worn out after just five rounds. Boxing is 12! The same thing that happened to McGregor would happen to him. McGregor even tried to have lasted up to 10 round

You cant compare the effort and workload of boxing and MMA, there is a reason one goes on for 12 rounds and the other for 5.

So the people with the higher workload should be fitter...

Abi no be so?

Why can't they then last longer?

Say what you know please. That guy will likely knockout AJ.
And he can take Furry or Wilder to 12th round

You obviously don't follow either of the sports well. It would be a miracle if he can last up to 7 rounds, and if he mistakenly did that's when he would start receiving the punishment of his life.
A lightweight McGregor gassed out at 9th round and was brutally punished at 10th and you expect a heavyweight like Ngano to go 12 with seasoned boxers like Fury or AJ?.

Trust me, the guy is just looking for pay day cheque just as Mayweather made McGregor overnight millionaire. But as for the fight itself, any of those top 5 boxers will beat him silly in a boxing bout.

definitelyME:
I will be 21 years old by June this year and I am currently out of school(dropped out for some personal reasons last year) but I will going back to school in a few months time since i gained admission this year.. I still live with my parents and to be honest, the pressure to leave my parents house especially from my dad's side has been much this past few years(although he wouldn't say it directly). Although my father is a very well to do man, with lots of properties I can't even keep track of, he always emphasise on the need for me to go a hustle for my own money and not depend on his(which I know is for my own good and I am currently working towards that).. After much thought to it, and not to forget I am the first child of five children, and two of my younger siblings who I senior with 3 and 5 years respectively, will also be writing jamb this year too seeking admission, I am currently nursing the idea to abandon the admission I've gotten this year and go look for a job. A job that pays at least 40-50k so I can work through out the year and make savings of at least 30k every Month, then at the end of the year, I use about half of the savings to start a business that can run while I school. Like okada business. I wouldn't be riding the okada. I will use half of the savings to buy the okada for someone to be riding and bringing weekly income of maybe 10k while me I go to school...







Note- I have already gotten potential jobs I would be submitting my c.v for one of them on Monday. And If I eventually get the job, I would be going to work from my uncle's apartment (he is still young too 27, without kids)..







So would you advise me to sacrifice one year for work or just accept my admission and go to school.


Bro if the admission is Into a university of your choice and a course of your choice,I willadvise you g with the admission, schooling doesn't stop you from working, I'm also a student and I go out to work at every given chance,I school at I ibadan and go to Lagos to work at any given opportunity be it holiday or lecture free days......
I have a coursemate who is a guitarist and a very good and connected one who doesn't joke with his work and still finds time to come to class
So nothing stops you from schooling and working.....mind you I'm into plumbing work

Na so, he couldn't beat a francis that has been inactive for almost a year, was injured and fighting with only one good leg, it's a fully fit francis that he will beat abi? If that rematch ever happens, francis will beat him like a baby. I watched him for the first time this morning and i wondered what all the hype is all about. He is not even as good as Stipe Miocic and his inexperience showed at crucial points of the fight. Francis will kill him in that octagon if they decide to do the rematch any time this year. Gane needs to go garner more experience before fighting Francis again.

He was injured and was fighting with only one good leg so he improvised and took the fight to the floor. He couldn't fight on his feet.

Watched the match this morning.

Gane won the first two rounds, Francis won the second two. Gane got the takedown in the fifth and final round and made a tactical mistake, giving up his advantage to Francis.

Very close fight.

The rematch would be a banger if it ever happens.

Francis biggest advantage in this fight was not his power. It was his corner. I mean, those guys were telling him the exact right things to do, and to his credit, Francis listened.

I like both men but I'm a bigger fan of Cyril than Francis.
That was a very match rusty francis that has been inactive for a very long time and he was injured and fighting with only one good leg yet Gane couldn't beat him. Believe me, the rematch will be a one sided beat down by Francis if it ever happens this year. Gane is not even as good as Stipe and francis nearly killed him in the octagon. Gane needs another two years of gathering fighting experience before he will be ready to face Francis Ngannou.

After watching EFC Africa I realized these UFC guys use performance enhancers of sorts. There, fights hardly went past the second round because the body — no matter how trained — eventually succumbs to repeated physical punishment. The UFC tests for performance enhancers throughout the year, however I believe the most obvious ones are taken a few minutes before their bouts. Some of their athletes are obvious druggies and it shows in their physical appearance.

I doubt if he can face Fury,his cardio is so poor.He gassed out after the first 2 rounds and was breathing through his mouth.

Fury will finish him early.
