The former UFC heavyweight champion believes that the strongest puncher comes from boxing.
Francis Ngannou compared MMA fighters and boxers. In particular, the former UFC heavyweight champion focuses on the power of punches of potential opponents.
After a boxing match, the Cameroonian decided that the strongest puncher still performs here. At the same time, MMA fighters have other strengths.
“Fury hit pretty good. MMA punchers aren’t as strong as boxers. They’re fast and they know how to use it. He hit really well. I took some good shots. I was like, ‘Fuck.’ Do you understand ?
But it’s good when you feel the punch. That means you are still conscious.
I thought Fury struggled with the knockdown? No, absolutely nothing like that. It wasn’t a very strong blow, so I knew he would get up. His shoulder absorbed the force of the blow.
My plan was to fight, win and dictate my “game”. I was going for victory,” Boxing Scene quoted Ngannou as saying.
We remind you that Fury defeated Ngannou by split decision (96-93, 95-94, 94-95).
Previously, a prominent promoter said that Fury and Ngannou had already agreed on a rematch and named a possible date.
