Ngannou didn't run though he was big target who stood in front of AJ...suicide.
Jake ran around the oversized ring...in fairness to him he did avoid some big shots from AJ and even landed some of his own but they didn't have any effect on a big HW.
Weight classes are there for a reason.
Both guys made coin and gives AJ and Fury something to argue over to promote their fight. -
I love boxing and didnt bother watching it , have little interest in the gimmick fights ,
At least he came out of it with some genuine injuries , Boxing isnt supposed to be a game
AJ and Fury look like finally fighting, years too late of course , years ago i would have picked Fury
But I actually think AJ might stop him now , both have deteriorated ,but the last thing to leave is your power and i suspect Furys deterioration of his once elite defensive skills may come back to bite him here .

@kiwiinmelb I think Fury will try to fight AJ like he did Deontay 2 & 3 but AJ is a better boxer than Wilder. Stopping Fury will be a big call as he has great recovery and will but age does mess with that ..
I think they will fight at least 2 times and could split the wins and take it to a trilogy.... best earner for all -

That plus father time.
I reckon he's gone for good this time.

Although he still may have the better chin .
The old peek a boo fury I think would have caused AJ all sorts of problems technically, but the flat footed fury now trying to exchange shots , far less so .
I think AJs decline has been more due to a drop in self belief more so than the physical drop off like furys . In a fight of trading shots with both fighters getting hit I favour the heavier puncher .

Sinu and Latz, Anthony Joshua's personal trainer and his strength and conditioning coach, were killed in a car crash in Nigeria this morning when a lorry hit the SUV they were travelling in.
Anthony Joshua was in the other side of the car and has survived with minor injuries.

Fair to say I've never seen this happen, ever.
