Thanks to everyone who joined! We will do it again soon!
Thanks Luke! “Fuck it, I’m not keeping score”! That cracked me up 😂
thanks Luke i was held up in the dr office watching this
He took more damage in less than 2 rounds, then his whole mma career
**than
First stipe fight was an a$$ whopping
@@zenithskullstill was never hurt and didnt have any change to his face
@@ogziiink3879 rewatch it .
@@ogziiink3879are you serious? you dont always get a bruise on your face when your brain is rattling inside your head
This is the AJ that brought boxing back in the UK with massive stadium fights. The most electrifying fighter in the sport when he's at his best!
Great job by aj. He clowned Francis and sent him back to the D leagues
Definitely man and contrary to popular opinion I honestly think Fury is tailor made for him! Fury is a big target and I don't think he has the legs anymore to keep out of the way. He has to get through Usyk yet and that could be a challenge.
Relax he beat a 37 yr old MMA fighter with 1 boxing match
@@DC-op8fs he beat every mma fan who was gassing up francis
@DC-op8fs Francis was part of the Cameroon amateur national team for years way b4 AJ started boxing. Most bets went on him. Many UFC fans didn't respect AJ's power. DC, Joe Rogan & many more had FN destroying AJ. You can't have it both ways.
Francis fell the same way Stipe did in their fight. Same round as well. Combat sports is just weird at times.
very different sports . 0 similarities . not even 1 .
Not really lol. Pretty predictable if you ask me 0-2
@@BrandonBreathes What are you yapping about. They fell the exact same way, nothing deeper to analyse than that😂
Craaaaazyyyyyy.
First thing I said when I saw the replay
That overhand was monstrous...and AJ is a class act.
The world makes sense again
Yes sir lol
Yessir 🤣
Correct. The only crazy thing is people who thought this was shocking.
Fury's fault. He didn't take their fight seriously and then everyone thought he could beat AJ. Truth is had Fury been focused , tonight's fight would never had happened
@@spz8342 facts
This isn't just Francis coming back to Earth. Props to AJ that was the best he's looked in a long time, maybe ever
faff off, he only looked good because he isn't boxing a boxer - he's mid top 4
Congratulations to AJ & his Coach Ben Davison
“Holy shitballs” Luke Thomas 9.3.2024 😂
francis got overeem'd
Boom‼️ Francis has never been HIT like that. Never.
Fury’s stocks are on the floor 😂
And ngannous on the floor
He is literally fighting for the undisputed title against usyk He is doing fine . Great win by Joshua also .
He’s fine. Styles make fights and he won anyway.
An out of shape Tyson got up, Francis took a nap
Yeah fury didn't try at all it was clear.
Luke is getting me excited even though I already know the results!
Lukes reaction to the KO was pure gold 😂😂😂
i love francis, he got humbled tonight, but at least he lived his dream and is a multi-multi millionaire now!
exactly. he already won in life. These are just side quests now
Money doesn’t buy the respect he wanted. He got schooled and humbled tonight, and he needed it
@@Ibah300 hope PFL got the health Care for fighters, that was afterall the thing francis cared about 😂
@@DGillian6406 Dude, you're just hating. He was a world champion in ufc. Defended his belt. Said he wasn't willing to be chained to the ufc regardless of the money they threw at him. left the ufc and arranged two high profile fights against the very best boxers in the heavy weight division. He's rightfully admired and respected by literally millions of people. what are you on about?
@@Jahzilla. I was a big fan of his in the UFC! His MMA fans made him and he dumped us to go fight his delusional boxing fantasy dream! Now he’s stuck with the PFL where nobody’s watching! It’s not hate, it’s Francis getting what he deserved! He never belonged in the ring with AJ!
Francis Ngannou tasted real power vicious KO by AJ!
Unreal how Ngannou got folded
He was out on his feet. But when the ref asked him to walk to his right ... he responded right away. So the ref thought he was ok to continue. He was not. He just stood there. He could comprehend a simple command but he could not react to high-speed athletics.
Ariel is crying his eyes out right now
Chael should check up on him.
Me too
0-2
@@funkspinna 😂 😂
Ariel will still be swinging from Francis’ nuts on Monday! 🤣 👃
Francis needed to be humbled, dude got too cocky in the press conference. Should’ve been grateful boxing welcomed him with open arms and are giving him the biggest payday ever! It was his dream to be a boxer and AJ made it come true🤣 There’s levels to this and back to mma you go. YOU CANT PLAY BOXING!🥊🔥
Thank you! The best watch along…you actually describe specific actions and details , while also some emotions. Far superior to others that only hoot and holler. Appreciate your work!
10:50
Well, Luke. Time to get Dewey back on to explain this.
He got tired because AJ was working his body. AJ knew Francis gain to much weight and that mean no discipline. He got him tired and that made it easier to sleep him clean. All he had to be is patient. It was over at the weight in when we found out he was 270. Anytime Francis comes in that heavy, he loses.
He folded just like Rashad vs Machida
Like Stipe
Love the commentary and absolutely love the reactions.
Loving this Luke. I’m more of an MMA guy so having this watch along is making me care more about a boxing match I would only be watching for the historic implications of this massive fight, and some overall solid combat oriented entertainment.
Easiest night’s work ever for AJ. Real light work.
Great commentary man I love it!
Francis did the Stipe leg
A.J just single handedly restored the credibility of boxing as a martial art.
It wasnt combo it was single shot
MMA needed to be humbled by boxing.
We all know mma wins in the street! Im glad Francis got KO’d but his line to Fury yesterday was 💯 true
1:29:30 - Fight Start.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Gods work
You are the fucking man 🙏🏽
Thank you friend
My hero.
Fookin brutal!
Jesus Christ! I am literally still in shock😲 Francis looks concussed and this will change him forever🙈 Really sad to see and hope he rests and heals his 🧠
I can’t for the life of me figure out why people are shocked! This dude is not a top boxer, and never was.
Hopefully this will humble Francis….he needs it!
@@rockysloan3434he beat Fury so seemed close
@@ravk5266 only he didn’t beat fury. Fury came in at the heaviest he had ever been, and still boxed his ears off. Francis landed one left hook and you nut huggers hold on to that. Francis is 0-2 and if he fights anyone else in the top 10 he will lose again.
He’s done the same thing to his opponents why should he get the better treatment or best regards than his opponents
1:35:48 knockdown and ko reaction

🫡
Wow. And much better on the microphone 🎤 afterwards as well.
Just as that quote from Francis was COLD, he also went out COOOOOLD 🤣🤣🤣sounded good on the mic now is all over🤣🤣
Great win AJ, he keeps coming
Great to see those roller coaster of emotions Luke 😂
I don’t like how the production doesn’t playback the highlights. Or big moment replay.
Sometimes "getting the bag" comes at a cost.
He fell just like Miocic
Justice for Stipe
Combat Sports is littered with karma
We all got carried away
Nah lil bro I was praying on his downfall 🙏🏻
That 2nd knockdown combo was nasty
I legit thought Francis was un-KOable. I gotta stop. Hes a man who bleeds. No one is un KOable
Thot the same, he’s the most dangerous human being without weapons and looked like a mere mortal, for as built like Adonis himself as they say Ithot AJ was going to die in there (figuratively speaking) but man I was wrong!
In the arms of an angel commercial... is how this fight made me feel
That’s what these professional boxers should be doing to mma fighters. I love Francis and was pulling for him but this is how it should be, maybe the boxing world will quit being a joke
Fury never took it serious until he felt ngannous power , I think fury beats usyk and we finally settle AJ vs Fury
People forget that Joshua hits like a truck. People who have sparred AJ and Wilder have said that Wilder is always sharp power. Whereas, AJ is just thudding power.
And you guys always dismissed AJ. Never gave him due respect.
They should've called it after the second knock down he didn't really get back up before the 10 count, but if they had it would've been called an early stoppage by so many, this makes it definitive even if it probably could've been avoided
If the roles were reversed 100% Ben Davidson would have thrown the towel there to save AJ. He did it to Leigh Wood in the first Lara fight.
Joshua has a better resume than Fury and Wilder. Was hoping that Francis would use the clinches against Joshua and improve his defensive abilities but the right hand from Joshua in round 1 changed everything.
Levels better. Joseph Parker has a better resume at this point.
It's only Americans who thought this would end any other way. Same with Wilder. You guys tend to get into a frenzy without actually looking at the facts.
When expectation meets reality. But he got the bag tho 💰
Yep, Ngannou's success against Fury was just a Chuck Wepner moment. Too many got sold on Ngannou's durability and punching power without considering AJ's own punching power and skills.
2:12 doesn't sound cold now does it. The first serious punch AJ threw and Francis is on the canvas in 10oz of padding, imagine that in 4oz of padding Francis would have been knocked out. In bare knuckle he'd have been hospitalised.
And theres fireworks in the arena
i'm usually pretty stoic about MMA results but i haven't been this bummed since Wanderlei and Big Nog got ko'd in the same night
This will literally be replayed forever and just say THIS IS BOXING!!
helwani killed alex, francis and izzy, bro worse than drake
All of a sudden everyone that was so confident are screaming it was fixed.
Francis comes back and gets KOd in mma would be devastating
No. He has millions in the bank.
Welcome to the fight game, where nobody is invincible
Could happen just like Alex. Francis needs to take a long break.
Ngannou needs to rest for a year
🙏🏾
Your channel rocks! I think I’m going to subscribe
The fight was close until it started.
where is the full stream???
Stipe really happy right now 😂🎉🎉🎉
now Sean Strickland vs John Fury
This is what happens when a world class boxer actually takes someone seriously, Fury hardly prepared for Ngannou and it showed.
You really get to see another side of Luke when he watches fights live lol
That is what a AJ v Wilder fight would look like. Francis arguably has more boxing skills than Wilder.
I guess that's MMA over for Francis also.. at least at the highest level!!
You the man Luke. Whoops forgot who i'm talking too. You're the man Luke. Some what proper grammar I think
Fury gave Francis false confidence, Francis got hooked up with a 2nd big fight, and AJ took out the trash. Francis just got shown the truth...sad..very sad for Francis.
Well, he got paid millions. So even in a loss, he still wins. For these 2 fights, he probably got paid what he would of have in 10+ fights in the UFC.
@@themastermind5638and that means fuck all to anything! Money doesn’t buy respect! Hopefully Francis will be a bit more humble from now on!
@@DGillian6406 You somehow think this shows he doesn't deserve respect? Second fight in boxing and he's fighting the absolute top of the top that deserves respect in and of itself let alone his MMA resume
@@joshuawoolridge8378 He is talking like Francis disrespected him personally and needed to be "humbled"
@@joshuawoolridge8378 respect is earned! He never earned his way to this fight! The fight vs Fury was a joke and an exhibition. I was a fan of Francis in the UFC but he dumped us and shit on us to go play out his delusional boxing fantasy! UFC fans made him, now he can go fook around in the PFL!
Joshua is a monster!
Have listened to Luke since Sirius XM days / Ariel roundtables. I have enjoyed the multitude of different show formats and ideas he has tried. I hope MK 2.0 lasts a while and they find success for a couple of years before trying a new format. Shout out to Ariel Helwani who has been consistent and entertaining for years.
Dana is smiling.
I'll box AJ for $20 million and get KO'D
now Luke Thomas vs Sean Strickland
There is 50 million reasons why this shouldn't hurt so much but damn it just does.
told ya
Never disrespect AJ agin, mma people. Ngannou got too cocky on fight week.
I bet he regrets not facing off in the PFL fights the other week. Lost opportunity and makes Dana’s opinion of FN look accurate.
Doesn't matter.. he made 30 million since he left the UFC. His legacy is epic. You're just an asshat hater who can appreciate what this man achieved in his life. You're the fucking loser that sits in his room eating Cheetos you ff
Yo was that a straight or overhand that KO Francis i haven’t seen the video
This is the e reason why Jake Paul don’t fight real boxers who will fight him seriously. Jake is smart.
💔
What are the odds of an Ngannou v Wilder fight?
I hope people realize that Ngannou still won by exiting UFC. He made more money in two fights than he would in 10 fights over there.
10 million against Fury & 20 million vs Aj. Francis is really rich 🥊💰
If all you count by winning is money then perhaps but time will tell
Nice cope! Francis got Knocked da fuq out 😂
@@DGillian6406 average PowerSlap fan detected. Take a break from watching Nina videos and go touch grass
UFC won too, boxing promoters lost tens of millions on Tyson vs Francis. We will see on this one.
3:01 lol
LT!
Respect to AJ he rly showed the difference in levels which Fury should have done in the first place. Was a shame to see Francis go down like that so easy. You could see how upset he was after he woke up. I think he really believed in the hype from the last fight and thought he could go on to be a champion in boxing which he always wanted. Hopefully he bounces back and id like to see him fight a Chisora or Whyte. He still produces excitement and you still get the feeling he could put someone out if they aren’t on top of their game.
Holy shit. AJ stunted on Francis
Well, that hype didn't last long 😅
I guess everyone goes back to their cage.. boxing 🥊 striking is different.. Sean O'Malley won't mention any boxer name again
AJ haters get in the bin
@11:05 ...what we all came here to see
Still in shock, Francis got done like that I can’t even lie … even tho I said to my boy Francis defensive flaws Fury doesn’t have the power to punish but AJ got the power and Technical application to punish but to flat line big Francis Yh nah I never saw that, Francis been hit clean with 4 ounce…. Boyyyy
1:36:10 For the Knockout
What happens when you fight a guy in boxing whos not like fury who turns up motivated in great shape and just on the task in hand. Joshua destroyed him like he didnt even belong in there with him and thats how you beat guys who are coming over from a different sport thinking they can fight the top guys.
That was a mismatch in retrospect.
This is only a 23 minute video? Lol
