Fans Blame Southpaw Switch for KO Defeat
Boxing fans are pointing fingers at Francis Ngannou's decision to switch to Southpaw as the main reason for his second-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. The devastating defeat left Ngannou's supporters shocked after his impressive performance against Tyson Fury last year.
Ngannou's Costly Decision
Ngannou made the tactical switch to Southpaw after being knocked down by Joshua, a move that ultimately led to his undoing as Joshua landed a perfect right hand soon after. Fans were quick to criticize Ngannou for the decision, especially since Joshua had recently faced off against the best Southpaw in the world, Oleksandr Usyk.
Fan Reactions
Social media erupted with comments questioning Ngannou's choice to switch stances, with one fan asking why he made the change at such a critical moment in the fight. Another fan highlighted Joshua's experience against Southpaw fighters, emphasizing the importance of Ngannou's strategic errors.
What's Next for Joshua and Ngannou?
With Joshua emerging victorious, talks of a potential rematch with Usyk are circulating, depending on the outcome of Usyk's upcoming bout with Fury. However, a showdown between Joshua and Fury could also be in the cards if Fury manages to dethrone Usyk in their upcoming clash.
