"Arguably beat" is a very long stretch. Aside from the knock down, Ngannou didn't do much else. That's not to take anything away from him, it was an amazing feat and he should be proud of himself. However, I think people are getting carried away. Fury, aside from the fact that he wasn't at his best, tagged Ngannou a lot more and subsequently won on points, that's how points work in boxing. Fury won that fight as a whole, using boxing rules, because it was a boxing match.
Bro, I literally said in the video that I don't think the scoring for Fury was bad, and if you go by the boxing system of "scoring points" Fury could have won. But as I also said, if you think of this as a FIGHT, Ngannou beat his ass and some of the rounds were close enough to even score in Francis's favor.
Ngannou didn't do much else? He wobbled fury in round 8 to the point where he was ducking his head to francis' crotch and reaching for a clinch, and won round 7 from southpaw where he landed the harder strikes, that's 3,7,8 and arguably round 2 as well, 6-4 fury is fair but 8-2 or 7-3 is a reach
Fury did not take this fight seriously, it's as simple as that. Unprepared and flippant. Same thing happened in his fight with Cunningham, got knocked down in the 2nd. Difference is in that fight he responded with a KO whereas in this fight he was content to quietly win on points. He owes it to boxing and himself to have a rematch, because winner or not, this was an embarrassment.
Tyson is 35 fat and did coke and drank and got hit in the heat for 20, retirerd , did coke and drank, game back for a second career. Came in at his heavist ever. Tyson is just Done, how you muppets dont get that? Yes francis is also old but on steroids and in great shape, he will lose his next boxing match to a worse Boxer in shape
Ngannou really is an inspiring athlete. The man did the completely impossible throughout his entire life. I hope he has a successful future, the man earned it
@@anon2427 Francis was working in sand mines from the age of 10 in Cameroon. He dreamt of becoming a boxer and everyone told him he couldn’t do it. He caught malaria and almost died. He left his country and gave up everything he owned to go to France to train boxing. Was suggested to go into MMA, which he did at a late age. Took out every single legend in the heavyweight landscape at the time (Overeem, Stipe, JDS, Cain), as well as rising contenders like Gane and left the UFC without any clue on if he’ll get a better deal anywhere else. His entire life has been risk after risk and he came out on top every time. Dude’s a champion at life
@@DaInternetBear There is 0 reason to believe Nganous's bullshit lmao. The guy is obviously a walking chemical experiment, literally every commentator that talks about him never mentions anything about his footwork, his strategic mind, etc. it's literally always about how athletics he is, which is literally just code for being on a cocktail of drugs.
Well its heavyweight boxing. Boxing is past its prime in general, but especially heavyweight.. in my opinion heavyweight boxing would be dead already with the fury wilder fights. Tyson is pretty much still riding on them.. maybe francis will breathe new life into it.
I honestly thought it was a good fight in a vacuum. The last two rounds were definitely not exciting because neither guy wanted to make a mistake, but the first 8 rounds were great.
@@HellBlazerMNE07 francis literally said after the fight that he felt fresh and wished he wasn’t so conservative in those last rounds. He said he was being cautious. Tyson may have been tired tho
Francis Ngannou reminds of Old School Boxer Sonny Liston. Beside his Monstrous Knockout Power, he has very underrated skills and techniques to win a fight. And after, he died, the people realized his greatness.. i hope we give Francis his Flowers while he is still alive and healthy. More Power to you Francis
Jones despite being a POS and a former cheat was the most dangerous man on the planet bar none up until he tore his pec off the bone. Francis hits hard and is strong sure, he may even have a better fight IQ than most thought but Jones is an absolute freak too and he's elite standing up or on the ground. Do u think Francis would ko Jones before Jones ties up a leg or chokes out Francis from taking his back in a scramble? There's just so many other ways for Jones to win where Francis has to get the knockout
@knightrider693 when you take Roids you build fibers your body wouldn't have otherwise if you stop and maintain your mass you're always a cheat. Hell you could thin out thr fibers are still there
@@knightrider693 If that were true Then why did Jon duck him? Jon knows the truth: watch his actions. He was "bulking up" for 3 years and came back fat: he was absolutely dodging Francis. Everyone knows bro, Dana too.
The fact Ngannou came out as a switch hitting, front foot counter puncher clearly took Fury by surprise. Many of his usual tricks, like making his opponent bare his weight in the clinch so he can take a break etc. didn’t work as Ngannou was far too strong and experienced in grappling. All these things make it easy to get carried away with the performance. However, exactly as you say, the body language during and their faces after the fight also tell a story. Fantastic unbiased well thought out commentary. Thank you
Dana is actually happy because as far as business goes that fight against fury lost millions.. yes Francis made money but those promoters lost millions. Dana has the most profitable and famous fight promotion in the world, I doubt he cares
The learning curve Francis Ngannou has is unmatched from what I’ve seen, he’s a freak and came closer to beating fury than most full time boxers and fury is seen as one of the best boxers of all time
The rate that Ngannou is able to learn and improve as a fighter is only rivaled by Zhang Weili, which says a lot. It is scary how fast he is able to grow as a fighter.
It’s one of those things where this was absolutely crazy when it happened but in retrospect it’s easy to go “Fury has always been very dependent on clinching and working in the gray zone of boxing and Francis is someone who is equipped with the grappling and clinch training to hang out in dirty boxing scenarios and throw him off”. Even still, that might make it more of a once-in-a-lifetime alignments, the fact that it was THIS heavyweight champ and THIS DUDE challenging
Ngannous chin is otherworldly, hes gotten caaught with great well timed counters, where his whole force is going into that counter, as well as the power of his opponent. Insane.

Edit: it literally feels like we're witnessing some alien genius, simply deciding what human sport he wants to dominate next. Start MMA in his 20s? Yeah he's gonna destroy people. Get humbled by a more skilled MMA fighter? Fine, he'll round out his game and come back to smash that same fighter. Learn boxing and fight the HW world champ? Light work for Francis to land the better shots and get a knockdown. Absolutely unreal the power of this man's mind and body

@@Crasher806HDyeah, Beige Frequency will swing for the fences, yet once again, knocking Chris "back, back, back & out the park, oh my lord, he went out the park!"
I agree with most of what you said in your initial community post about this apart from Ngannou becoming a top 5 HW boxer overnight. Many people are saying Ngannou is potentially the best heavyweight boxer in the world or that he would beat many of the top 5 or 10 HW boxers right now. I'm willing to be proven wrong on this but I don't think Ngannou will be able to repeat that kind of success either in a rematch with Fury or especially against another top 10 heavyweight boxer, provided he gets the opportunity at either. The fact is Ngannou has the physicality to negate Fury's clinching, had a better gas tank than expected, a chin which could hold up to anything Fury threw (including that elbow) and most of all a surprising level of patience and poise in the ring. That all proved problematic for Fury and I think it comes down to a matter of styles, against another top heavyweight I don't think those attributes will be quite as impactful. In a rematch I think Fury would stick to his jab like he did after third round and win a decision. For my money Usyk, AJ, Hrgovic, Zhang, Wallin and Sanchez all beat Ngannou fairly comfortably. Wilder may not have the technical ability to outclass Ngannou and his power might not even be enough either, If I was Francis that would be the fight I'd try to get, although Wilder's team likely wouldn't allow him to take a risk like that. Doesn't change how incredible Ngannou's achievement was but I hope it teaches people to stop overhyping fighters so much, until you've faced most of the top guys in your division you can't be seen as unbeatable or potentially as an all time great. Ngannou showed why Fury has been so careful selecting many of his opponents.
I'm fine with tempering expectations, because we do only have a sample size of one here. That said, I think the fact that francis was able to make adjustments to Furys jab and had success in the later rounds is actually extremely impressive. Even if you think this was a shit night for Fury, it was literally Ngannous first boxing fight ever and he went in there against the at worst #2 HW boxer and had success deep into the fight. As for a rematch, it's even more uncertain, but look at the leap Francis made from the first Stipe Fight to the rematch. Then think of the leap in boxing technique he made just this year. Give him another 6 months and who knows what the fuck he looks like. He doesn't seem to have a ceiling.
Yeah, Francis fought a guy who was always an anti boxer. Not saying it was predictable or what he did wasn't remarkable. But I really don't think he won that fight. And the way he almost won was by being strong to clinch, which was always a huge part of Fury's style. Fury has a dirty style. So in retrospect you can see how it made sense for him to have trouble against someone else who isn't boxing likema boxer. I still think an Anthony Joshua or a Andy Ruiz would absolutely destroy Ngannou. I even think that if given a rematch, it would a lot easier for Tyson Fury to retool and adjust his camp than it would be for Ngannou.
The problem for a lot of boxers is gonna be that Ngannou is so flexible. I can see him and his team coming out with gameplans for Joshua and Ruiz. And on top of that, he always has the nuclear option and a freak chin that nobody else has.
@@BeigeFrequency Yeah I'm in agreement, Ngannou is a truly special individual, there's really no telling how good he could be but I see no use in speculating about it myself. At bare minimum we need to see him rematch Fury and then fight another or potentially multiple other top heavyweights before making any definitive claims about him being a top 5 or 10 HW boxer himself, there's simply far too many questions posed by the whole event. Clarity is desperately needed and that can only come from Ngannou pursuing boxing further which I think he should do, if a fight with Jones in MMA is truly off the table. On a side note; As a primarily MMA based channel, I found your coverage in this video was very rational and comprehensive, I've seen many MMA fans get overly carried away with the outcome of the fight and I commend you for not doing so. The end section about Ngannou's self belief and what we can all take from that was very well done also.
@@filho4437 I think there was a little more to it than Ngannou simply being too strong for Fury to clinch, Francis showed a very unexpected level of poise and technical boxing ability in there, he looked much like a pro boxer, but I do agree I think he'll fall short against other heavyweights. I don't know whether he'll be destroyed, after what happened I can't bring myself to fully rule him out like that again, given he seems to be an incredibly blessed man, but I think his style likely won't be as troublesome for other boxers as it was for Fury and Fury would likely make the correct adjustments for a rematch.
In 2014, Leicester City was promoted to the Premier League from the Championship. Pretty much rooted to the foot of the table for close to five months, they managed to win 7 of their last 9 matches to finally setlle in 14th place and avoid relegation. The following season, The Foxes were 1000-1 to win the Premier League. With virtually the same group of players, they managed to do the unthinkable and won the Premier League. Whilst another team had done similar (Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest), none had done so in the financially stacked Premier League. That's one of the few sports phenomena that i have seen that rank alongside this for the unlikeliest moments.
Idk much about fighting but Francis stood out to me as an actual genius. Dude had to figure out a crazy life entirely on his own and faced down the four horsemen before he turned 30. Almost nobody but a handful of people could do that
@@cyrilchannie5120 standards for a genius level intelligence nearly always include a 140 IQ minimum. Why are you defending him so much, is he your boyfriend?
@@anon2427most people with an over 140 IQ would not have the sheer nutsack required to scale the barbed wire fences of Melilla. Get thrown into a desert, walk back, eat some garbage in a forest, then try to climb the fence again
Fury looked like he spent more time training his kebab game than anything else. Whatever he said in public, I don't think he respected Ngannou anywhere near enough. Which shouldn't be seen as insulting to Ngannou at all, much the opposite, it shows he came in as a very credible boxer.
I have similar feelings, Fury won the boxing match (barely), but Francis won the fight. What he did was nothing short of spectacular. A rematch needs to happen though, Francis will only be better and Fury will know his preparation will need to be the best of his life.
2:36 not 3 months brother he's dreamt of being a boxing champion since before he left Cameroon. Hes been training very hard his whole life and structured it for chasing this dream. Never doubt a dreamer who's willing to work harder than everybody 👊🔥
I love my Dad. Recently got him into watching mma/UFC the past couple years. Got him hyped enough for this fight, with the explanation that im sure alot of us gave, "we know whats gonna happen, the boxers gonna win the boxing match, but it should be fun". Now lets just say hes nearing 60, and was born and raised by a cop father in New Jersey and has an outdated vocabulary regarding black athletes. I'll never forget him saying at the start of round 3, "I think home-boy has a chance.". Francis has done many inspiring things. Him getting my Dad to say home-boy, instead of...., is nothing short of a miracle.
That depends. I think seeing multiple cycles of the same stories and themes play out has made me feel old to a certain extent, but the turnover rent for MMA fans is like 5 years
When I first watched the fight I chalked this up to the hubris of Tyson, he believed like the rest of us that this would be a cakewalk and an easy day at the office therefore he didn’t put in the work and took it too lightly but after watching it again I think there’s more to it than that. I think Francis is that good.
You kept saying Ngannou is smaller and that is true by some metrics but I thought he was heavier plus leaner guy in there, which would sort of make the frame advantage Fury has at least even out on who has a "size advantage". There are weight classes after all and not reach and tallness classes.
"If Ngannou shows up against Joshua the way he did against Fury" Yeah thats the problem, for that Ngannou to show up, that Fury has to show up and I don't see it happening. Ngannou did an amazing thing but that fight was as much on Fury being a shithouse as it was on Ngannou being a boxing savant.
first off, i love your videos, have watched nearly all of them. commentary + the art is always great. However, one solid disagreement i have in this video is the fact that Jon Jones was scared of / ducking a fight with Francis. I think that it’s wild to portray Jones not wanting that fight. Jones has beaten every opponent he’s ever faced. imo he is the goat of mma (if you disqualify for PED tests, I respect that argument). Yes, Francis would be a very tough match up for him and probably not his ideal debut at heavyweight after a long layoff, but I have a hard time thinking Jones wants to avoid that fight. He seems to have the mindset of solidifying his legacy against the toughest challenges. Francis was taken down by Stipe and beaten for 5rds. Francis was even taken down by Cyril in their fight. I have a hard time thinking Jones wouldn’t be able to get him down and most likely end him on the ground. Again, it would be a tough match up, but to say Jones was avoiding or not wanting to fight Francis is not accurate to me. Feel free to shed light on info I may be missing and I also know that a comment always helps the video!
*The President of PFL is going to build a hybrid-boxing sport around Francis. No kicks. No takedowns. Basically boxing with full clinch/dirty-boxing. Probably no knees. Maybe elbows. But I think it'll make a FAR more exciting version of boxing. Where the ref doesn't constantly have to step in. I can't wait to see it. Wilder will be first up. Bet!* I have loved your coverage for Team Francis from jump. Debunking all the bs that he was "fumbling the bag". So thank you for that. That being said, one critique. I dont think Jon Jones is "afraid" of Francis. I think he was trying to build hype for his HW debut. Way before Francis was champ. Two things he wanted. To bulk up properly. And to get a bigger check from Dana. We all know how that went. Giving up after Dana got him out of legal trouble again, after driving him insane with gaslighting about fighter pay. I 100% blame Dana for us missing out on HW Jon 3 years ago. But now Jon is back on the leash. Though he did put the weight on. Hopefully he recovers quick enough. Cheers!

@@Crasher806HDyeah, Beige Frequency will swing for the fences, yet once again, knocking Chris "back, back, back & out the park, oh my lord, he went out the park!"
I have something else I want to work on, but this has not escaped my radar
I agree with most of what you said in your initial community post about this apart from Ngannou becoming a top 5 HW boxer overnight. Many people are saying Ngannou is potentially the best heavyweight boxer in the world or that he would beat many of the top 5 or 10 HW boxers right now. I'm willing to be proven wrong on this but I don't think Ngannou will be able to repeat that kind of success either in a rematch with Fury or especially against another top 10 heavyweight boxer, provided he gets the opportunity at either. The fact is Ngannou has the physicality to negate Fury's clinching, had a better gas tank than expected, a chin which could hold up to anything Fury threw (including that elbow) and most of all a surprising level of patience and poise in the ring. That all proved problematic for Fury and I think it comes down to a matter of styles, against another top heavyweight I don't think those attributes will be quite as impactful. In a rematch I think Fury would stick to his jab like he did after third round and win a decision. For my money Usyk, AJ, Hrgovic, Zhang, Wallin and Sanchez all beat Ngannou fairly comfortably. Wilder may not have the technical ability to outclass Ngannou and his power might not even be enough either, If I was Francis that would be the fight I'd try to get, although Wilder's team likely wouldn't allow him to take a risk like that. Doesn't change how incredible Ngannou's achievement was but I hope it teaches people to stop overhyping fighters so much, until you've faced most of the top guys in your division you can't be seen as unbeatable or potentially as an all time great. Ngannou showed why Fury has been so careful selecting many of his opponents.
I'm fine with tempering expectations, because we do only have a sample size of one here. That said, I think the fact that francis was able to make adjustments to Furys jab and had success in the later rounds is actually extremely impressive. Even if you think this was a shit night for Fury, it was literally Ngannous first boxing fight ever and he went in there against the at worst #2 HW boxer and had success deep into the fight.
As for a rematch, it's even more uncertain, but look at the leap Francis made from the first Stipe Fight to the rematch. Then think of the leap in boxing technique he made just this year. Give him another 6 months and who knows what the fuck he looks like. He doesn't seem to have a ceiling.
Yeah, Francis fought a guy who was always an anti boxer.
Not saying it was predictable or what he did wasn't remarkable.
But I really don't think he won that fight. And the way he almost won was by being strong to clinch, which was always a huge part of Fury's style.
Fury has a dirty style. So in retrospect you can see how it made sense for him to have trouble against someone else who isn't boxing likema boxer.
I still think an Anthony Joshua or a Andy Ruiz would absolutely destroy Ngannou. I even think that if given a rematch, it would a lot easier for Tyson Fury to retool and adjust his camp than it would be for Ngannou.
The problem for a lot of boxers is gonna be that Ngannou is so flexible. I can see him and his team coming out with gameplans for Joshua and Ruiz. And on top of that, he always has the nuclear option and a freak chin that nobody else has.
@@BeigeFrequency Yeah I'm in agreement, Ngannou is a truly special individual, there's really no telling how good he could be but I see no use in speculating about it myself. At bare minimum we need to see him rematch Fury and then fight another or potentially multiple other top heavyweights before making any definitive claims about him being a top 5 or 10 HW boxer himself, there's simply far too many questions posed by the whole event. Clarity is desperately needed and that can only come from Ngannou pursuing boxing further which I think he should do, if a fight with Jones in MMA is truly off the table.
On a side note; As a primarily MMA based channel, I found your coverage in this video was very rational and comprehensive, I've seen many MMA fans get overly carried away with the outcome of the fight and I commend you for not doing so. The end section about Ngannou's self belief and what we can all take from that was very well done also.
@@filho4437 I think there was a little more to it than Ngannou simply being too strong for Fury to clinch, Francis showed a very unexpected level of poise and technical boxing ability in there, he looked much like a pro boxer, but I do agree I think he'll fall short against other heavyweights. I don't know whether he'll be destroyed, after what happened I can't bring myself to fully rule him out like that again, given he seems to be an incredibly blessed man, but I think his style likely won't be as troublesome for other boxers as it was for Fury and Fury would likely make the correct adjustments for a rematch.
In 2014, Leicester City was promoted to the Premier League from the Championship. Pretty much rooted to the foot of the table for close to five months, they managed to win 7 of their last 9 matches to finally setlle in 14th place and avoid relegation.
The following season, The Foxes were 1000-1 to win the Premier League. With virtually the same group of players, they managed to do the unthinkable and won the Premier League. Whilst another team had done similar (Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest), none had done so in the financially stacked Premier League.
That's one of the few sports phenomena that i have seen that rank alongside this for the unlikeliest moments.
Good to hear, isaidnocops is back on the patreon
Idk much about fighting but Francis stood out to me as an actual genius. Dude had to figure out a crazy life entirely on his own and faced down the four horsemen before he turned 30. Almost nobody but a handful of people could do that
Just goes to show how low people’s standards have dropped.
@@anon2427what have you done in this life to make you the judge of standards?
@@cyrilchannie5120 standards for a genius level intelligence nearly always include a 140 IQ minimum. Why are you defending him so much, is he your boyfriend?
@@anon2427most people with an over 140 IQ would not have the sheer nutsack required to scale the barbed wire fences of Melilla. Get thrown into a desert, walk back, eat some garbage in a forest, then try to climb the fence again
Fury looked like he spent more time training his kebab game than anything else. Whatever he said in public, I don't think he respected Ngannou anywhere near enough. Which shouldn't be seen as insulting to Ngannou at all, much the opposite, it shows he came in as a very credible boxer.
Francis is actually a sport genius, he is so underrated.
I have similar feelings, Fury won the boxing match (barely), but Francis won the fight. What he did was nothing short of spectacular. A rematch needs to happen though, Francis will only be better and Fury will know his preparation will need to be the best of his life.
2:36 not 3 months brother he's dreamt of being a boxing champion since before he left Cameroon. Hes been training very hard his whole life and structured it for chasing this dream. Never doubt a dreamer who's willing to work harder than everybody 👊🔥
Great video and loved the dr mike easter egg at 6:32
I love my Dad. Recently got him into watching mma/UFC the past couple years. Got him hyped enough for this fight, with the explanation that im sure alot of us gave, "we know whats gonna happen, the boxers gonna win the boxing match, but it should be fun".
Now lets just say hes nearing 60, and was born and raised by a cop father in New Jersey and has an outdated vocabulary regarding black athletes.
I'll never forget him saying at the start of round 3, "I think home-boy has a chance.". Francis has done many inspiring things. Him getting my Dad to say home-boy, instead of...., is nothing short of a miracle.
lmOoo
cuck story
This too God damn wholesome
Yaaay racism. But Black people are the ones obsessed with race right? Lol
In my opinion your best video yet. Very inspiring closing words. Keep up the great work!
What a smart idea. Drawing in the background of your commentary.
Thats what I said man his ability to absorb skillsets and focus on growing from his losses might be the best Ive ever seen.
nice vid. fantastic. Francis is a legend. we have been witness. honor.
This is a good video and i would want to have a beer with you.
I click as soon as I see my guys' videos!!
I know you probably have a bunch of content lined up, but personally, I would love to see the UFC VS USADA saga!
Hey man, have you ever thought of drawing in color, or colorizing any way? I think that would look dope
Thank you for this video!!! Ngannou!!!
Loved the Dr Mike cameo
a fellow Dr Mike from RP fan, bless
I very much enjoyed the Myakka Skunk Ape video. Is there a chance we will be getting some similar videos? Thanks. And great video by the way.
Yes. Don't have anything specific in mind right now, but I would like to do more videos like that.
@@BeigeFrequencythank you for responding. That’s fantastic
In my opinion Ngannou just became one of the greatest fighters of all time.
What is beige frequency? Related to brown note? I must know
He’s got that main character plot armor.
Question for you Beige, is there any recent MMA news that makes you feel old?
That depends. I think seeing multiple cycles of the same stories and themes play out has made me feel old to a certain extent, but the turnover rent for MMA fans is like 5 years
You spoke brother you spoke.
When I first watched the fight I chalked this up to the hubris of Tyson, he believed like the rest of us that this would be a cakewalk and an easy day at the office therefore he didn’t put in the work and took it too lightly but after watching it again I think there’s more to it than that. I think Francis is that good.
Wilder gets one leg kick and them twigs are snapping
Francis! (Thank you Beige Frequency).
Everyone loses sight of the fact it was an exibition. As Allen Iverson once said, Practice?! We talking bout practice?!?
Tyson fury motivates me with his openness about mental health. Francis motives me from his journey
Francis really is a living MyCareer character from a video game
Now Ngannou just needs to get into Jiu Jitsu and submit Gordon Ryan
He has trained boxing longer than he has trained MMA, iirc..
Alright idea but wrong weight class.
Now you get why the UFC didnt let Ngannou near Jones... he woulda crushed their only Legacy Fighter they have left.
You kept saying Ngannou is smaller and that is true by some metrics but I thought he was heavier plus leaner guy in there, which would sort of make the frame advantage Fury has at least even out on who has a "size advantage". There are weight classes after all and not reach and tallness classes.
ngannou walks around qlightly heavier than fury while actually being in shape,it's insane.
"Make an Anthony Joshua video." Jon Jones
Anthony Joshua: Yes, Francis is human.
Bro did you just paint by numbers a photo tracing as your background?
I luv this part of the video 19:35 😂😅 funny and inspirational.
When are you going to make a video about Ngannou getting knocked tf out? Lmao
right hahah
"If Ngannou shows up against Joshua the way he did against Fury"
Yeah thats the problem, for that Ngannou to show up, that Fury has to show up and I don't see it happening. Ngannou did an amazing thing but that fight was as much on Fury being a shithouse as it was on Ngannou being a boxing savant.
The AJ fight kind of makes this video look stupid
do you have experience fighting, Beige?
only my sexuality
@@BeigeFrequency I know, Francis makes me the same way
Drawing reminds of the simpsons episode when homer took up boxing
He got KTFO by Joshua. I doubt he will ever be the same.
Can you please do a video on Nick Mullen’s newest special? 🙏
holy cow, the editing on that Hearn clip @16 min. really messed with my eyes for some reason
first off, i love your videos, have watched nearly all of them. commentary + the art is always great.
However, one solid disagreement i have in this video is the fact that Jon Jones was scared of / ducking a fight with Francis.
I think that it’s wild to portray Jones not wanting that fight.
Jones has beaten every opponent he’s ever faced. imo he is the goat of mma (if you disqualify for PED tests, I respect that argument).
Yes, Francis would be a very tough match up for him and probably not his ideal debut at heavyweight after a long layoff, but I have a hard time thinking Jones wants to avoid that fight.
He seems to have the mindset of solidifying his legacy against the toughest challenges.
Francis was taken down by Stipe and beaten for 5rds. Francis was even taken down by Cyril in their fight. I have a hard time thinking Jones wouldn’t be able to get him down and most likely end him on the ground.
Again, it would be a tough match up, but to say Jones was avoiding or not wanting to fight Francis is not accurate to me.
Feel free to shed light on info I may be missing and I also know that a comment always helps the video!
Niiice!
*The President of PFL is going to build a hybrid-boxing sport around Francis. No kicks. No takedowns. Basically boxing with full clinch/dirty-boxing. Probably no knees. Maybe elbows. But I think it'll make a FAR more exciting version of boxing. Where the ref doesn't constantly have to step in. I can't wait to see it. Wilder will be first up. Bet!*
I have loved your coverage for Team Francis from jump. Debunking all the bs that he was "fumbling the bag". So thank you for that.
That being said, one critique. I dont think Jon Jones is "afraid" of Francis. I think he was trying to build hype for his HW debut. Way before Francis was champ. Two things he wanted. To bulk up properly. And to get a bigger check from Dana. We all know how that went. Giving up after Dana got him out of legal trouble again, after driving him insane with gaslighting about fighter pay. I 100% blame Dana for us missing out on HW Jon 3 years ago. But now Jon is back on the leash. Though he did put the weight on. Hopefully he recovers quick enough. Cheers!
