Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Francis Ngannou In The Second Round by DonMarkuzi(m): 1:42am On Mar 09
Anthony Joshua knocks out Francis Ngannou in second round.

The fight continues on even terms for two minute until Ngannou goes down with about a minute left in the round, a heavy straight right-left hook combination. And this time the Cameroonian looks in serious trouble. Ngannou somehow makes it to his feet, but Joshua wastes no time: the Briton surges into the pocket and drops him with a heat-seeking overhand right that leaves Ngannous out cold on the canvas. The referee Richard Gonzales immediately waves it off and it’s over! Anthony Joshua has defeated Francis Ngannou with a savage knockout.

Francis Ngannou is being given oxygen by the ringside doctors. That was a huge knockout blow from Anthony Joshua.

Knocked out cold.

Ngannou has switched back to an orthodox stance. His switch to southpaw wasn’t successful in the slightest. But it hasn’t done him much good — Joshua lands another right hand, which connects with Ngannou’s chin. The former UFC champion is once again in trouble.

Ngannou rallies, but Joshua is making him look like a novice, and Joshua sends him to the canvas for a second time! Again it’s Joshua’s right hand. Ngannou gets to his feet but seconds over he’s down again, Joshua connecting with the right for a third time.

Francis Ngannou goes down very, very heavily. He’s out cold and that’s a sickening knockout. It’s all over.

Good commentary there. AJ means business. Man don't talk too much

What a fight. Done and dusted in 2nd round.

Ngannou fell twice from AJ's punches, but got up on both occasions after the referees counts and continued with the fight. The 3rd and final punch from AJ was too much for him. Ngannou was knocked out cold.

Boxing is not any martial art's mate. I learnt that from a kid playing street fighter. Balrog (Boxer) needs to land two solid punch and the opponent fighter is done for. It doesn't matter if it's Ryu or M.Bison.

I did not think Ngannou would wake up easily from that KO. His knees buckled when he fell. Glad he is okay.

I can't regret being awake all through to watch Joshua beat this Man. Joshua really made fun of Francis. Parker won too

Fury gave Nganou the pride to challenge an experience boxer like AJ

Bring on Fury….Automatically, Wilder is not our match anymore. GO AJ!

Francis's fight with the gypsy king (Fury) gave him the "liver" to think he has arrived at the scene of traditional boxing.

This defeat will definitely send him back to his mixed boxing art.

But wait o!

The cameronians are not understanding Nigeria these days !
Re: Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Francis Ngannou In The Second Round by Morbeta11(m): 5:04am On Mar 09
Anthony Joshua just made Tyson Fury look like a BUM.

AJ dropped Francis in round 1 then SLEPT HIM in round 2.

Meanwhile Tyson Fury GOT dropped by him and some even think Ngannou beat him

AJ vs Fury is one of the BIGGEST fights in boxing

The punch was targeted and delivered promptly.
No one would take that and still maintain a proper stand when the brain receives the, "I want to sleep…" signal.

How a knockout punch works:

Retrospective analysis of boxing knockouts has revealed that they typically are caused by a hook to the side of the jaw which causes a rotation of the head in the horizontal plane. Uppercuts to the chin may also cause unconsciousness, while straight punches to the face are unlikely to do so
