Super happy to see AJ looking comfortable again. He seems to be in a really good place physically and mentally. Weird that I find myself saying this, but I’d love to see him fight Ngannou. AJ seems to be a level above most other HWs in this state. Big money fight would be fun until Fury hopefully comes out of his hole to fight him after Usyk. I also want to see more of Francis’ boxing.
I see your contextless non-sequitur CoD:MW2 campaign reference in a reply-to-a-reply 15 comments down on this thread. I like to think we all have a tiny Keith David sitting on our shoulder, yelling at us to live our dreams.
I mean, we all knew Boots would get titles eventually, but what a lame way for a great fighter to get their first title. Who should his first defense be against though? Ortiz is moving up, sadly.
I actually liked this. Fury looked like trash, but I do think he won. I gave Ngannou 2,3,4 and 8. He showed some really great timing and used a diverse selection of punches effectively, which is not easy against Fury, even on his worst day. Boxing is Ngannou’s first passion and I think he debuted well. This could reignite a dull as hell heavyweight division IF the promoters/alphabelts pounce on the excitement properly and keep the curiosity of the MMA fans. There’s a lot of cool fights to be made here.
This fight didn’t feel like Charlo daring to be great. This felt like Charlo daring to be rich.
I’d like to see Joshua, honestly. Maybe Ruiz. It’s kinda sad that this is where the heavyweight hype is, though
