No, he struggled to control him.
I tune into every Wilder fight, dude has historic power despite his flaws.
I think Ngannou vs Wilder ends up with Francis going down face first into the mat like Woodley, separated from the land of the living.
But I donāt hate him or the other guys for wanting to box for a huge payday. They are following the money. But I think many overestimate their boxing ability.
Anderson Silva impressed against Chavez though so I think it is more case by case. Iām not married to MMA or boxing and enjoy me a good circus event so Iām not hating on it.
Really wanted to root for Francis against Gane
but if he dies he dies.
He gets destroyed easily but Iād still be interested and tune in
Itās crazy we still have these UFC fighters talking about boxing actual world champions after what youtube Disney star Jake Paul has been doing to top UFC fighters in the ring
Serious question what is francisā education level
He should be able to but frznvis only needs one shot too, Wilder is not some iron shin and with Francis we done know, wilder is a shit boxer even if better than francis. Itās the only money fight thatās entertaining for francis in boxing
Against fury I agree, he might last even sooner
Fury and even Deontay would beat the crap out of Ngannou and āFrancisā probably knows this. He just wants a big boxing paydayā¦
Dana White has stated that he wants to get into boxing and āclean it upā.
The truth is, boxing is still in the hands of the mafia , who took charge as early as the 1940s when the czar of boxing, Paul āFrankieā Carbo, controlled not only boxers but referees, judges and commissions.
I think Dana found this out and has decided heāll stick to MMA.
Google, Is the mob still involved in boxing? For more on this subject.
Here is what happened with Dana and Whitey Bulger. I am sure most of you know about this but this is for any newbs.
MOB RULES
Dana White ditched boxing and swapped Boston for Las Vegas because of gangster James āWhiteyā Bulger, transformed UFC and became a multi-millionaire and leading businessman.:
If I talk about Hollywood, aka Tinseltown where baby and I live, I might say something I regret, Suffice to say if you wanna know about the mob in Tinseltown read this:

Isnāt the UFC owned by Italians from Las Vegas? If you know what I mean.
OK I canāt resist one more post on the subject
Do the Fertitta brothers have mob ties?
Even at this late stage in the game, while the latest Fertitta brothers Lorenzo and Frank III are viewed by much of the the public as smart, upstanding businessmen with no more Mob ties , they operate with the kind of overzealous impunity that only āconnected guysā can muster.
The Endeavor Group Holdings , formerly known as WME-IMG, bought a majority stake of Zuffa, LLC, the UFCās parent company, from the Fertitta brothers for a bit more than $4 billion. They are now the majority owners, sharing ownership rights with Silver Lake Partners, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and MSD Capital.

I Wonder how high Francis was thinking about this
I am back on topicā¦maybe heās taken too many shots to the head.
Francis Ngannou Knockouts | Francis Ngannou Highlights
Ngannouās followup hammerfist after the KO is freaking devastatingly accurate.
Silva impressed, but Chavez had a reputation for being lazy and not training properly, and his real run as a champion was at 160 pounds. I love Silva, and absolutely loved his performance there, but letās call a spade a spade here. He beat a blown up 160 pounder that hadnāt looked good in years. It was still super impressive, but Francis is talking about fighting the current best of the best in his real weight class. Weāre not talking about Francis vs Roy Jones or Antonio Tarver here.
If Francis was talking about fighting a guy who typically fights at 190 thatās been lazy and not fighting elite guys for a while? Sure, Iāll check out the freak showā¦but thereās no reason to see Francis fighting a current elite HW.
Fran would lose badly against either fighter. He should fight celeb boxing.
Didnāt he always want to box from the beginning? Pretty sure he wanted to start boxing but his gym said MMA would be easier.
Iām guessing he just doesnāt like mma. Probably hates training bjj and wrestling. Iām also guessing he surrounds himself with people that inflate his ego.
I really want him to leave the UFC, go to boxing and then not even do good in boxing. I think he will lose this next fight, try boxing and not do good and then he will try coming back to the UFC. Iām just not sure how Dana will respond when he wants to return.
