In the clip that has gone viral, maintaining an orthodox stance, Ngannou is seen throwing multiple jabs. Although Ngannou maintained a tall guard, frankly speaking, his feet looked heavy and his arms did not speak of speed either. However, one must admit that ‘The Predator,’ who is comparatively smaller than Fury, looked focused and ready to take on ‘The Gypsy King’.
But, replying to Ngannou’s clip, one stated he looked just like a UFC fighter who is trying to box somehow.

Meanwhile, one wondered if Ngannou was “purposely looking that bad.”
Hes gotta be trolling no? Like purposely looking that bad?

However, one felt ‘The Predator’ was “doomed.”
He’s doomed.

Meanwhile, admitting Ngannou’s “technique will not be perfect,” one announced ‘The Predator’ “can really hit.”
He’s a strong fighter that knows how to punch. Working the mitts does not equate to what he looks like when the fight is live and he has the ability to throw all out. His technique will not be perfect, but that’s a massive athlete that can really hit. Should be fun!

Similarly, one announced they did not expect amazing pad work by Ngannou. However, they emphasized the power he can generate with his punches.
I don’t expect Francis to show amazing pad work bc he’s not a boxer . He’s known for his power at the end of the day . Same concept as Wilder he’s just bigger then wilder

Well, given the manner in which Ngannou approached the mitts, it is safe to state that he wishes to make use of basic punches against Fury. While Ngannou did not display round punches such as the hook or the uppercut, one must acknowledge the power the former UFC champion is capable of throwing. With that said, what do you think of Ngannou’s latest clip? Do you think Fury should worry about the skills Ngannou just exhibited? Let us know in the comments.
