A new angle of the Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou fight shows the brutality of Joshua’s second-round knockout, which was even more pronounced in the up-close footage released by streamer DAZN.
Well, here’s a fresh perspective on the Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou showdown. This new ringside angle? It’s brutal.
DAZN, the streamer who broadcast the heavyweight pay-per-view headliner, has just dropped some up-close footage. It’s Joshua’s second-round knockout of Ngannou. And let me tell you, it’s not pretty.
Ngannou’s fall? More like a flop. This was his third trip to the canvas.
The winner? Declared at 2:38 of the second round. Joshua’s right hand did the job, sending Ngannou spiraling backwards. Just seconds before, Ngannou had been knocked to the canvas with a swift right hand. He looked dazed, to say the least.
Joshua, the two-time boxing champ, simply stepped in. Sealed the deal.
The MMA and boxing community? They’re split on Ngannou’s loss. Some MMA fighters mourn the ex-UFC champ’s first square circle setback. But several boxers are singing Joshua’s praises.
Many thought Ngannou would be out of his depth in his professional boxing debut. That was this past October, against heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury. But Ngannou surprised everyone. He knocked Fury down and went the distance.
The judges? They gave Fury the fight via split decision. But many felt Ngannou had been robbed.
Ngannou’s second boxing match? No doubt about the winner there.
