--------
Michael Jai White revisited his pre-match thoughts on the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight. Against his prediction, Ngannou showed an astonishing performance, making him proclaim he's "never been so happy to be wrong." Vlad and Michael Jai White compared Ngannou's feat with unlikely real-life sports scenarios, like defeating Tiger Woods at first play or surpassing LeBron James in a debut NBA game, emphasizing the implausibility of Ngannou's achievement. Ngannou's training with long-time friend Dewey Cooper, a seasoned kickboxer, was highlighted, crediting him for the elements of Ngannou's game that took everyone by surprise. They also praised the narrative arc of Ngannou's career, from being dismissed by UFC to becoming a top contender with attractive returns. - Zábava
This sentence is true in all aspects with Francis " I never seen anyone progress that fast":
1. In MMA
2. In English, Francis less than 2 years ago interviews and today are way shocking, the level of progress is crazy
3. In Boxing (MJW said it)
Francis IQ is not only exceptional in sport, his ability to learn, adapt and master is at another level. Even in business he outplayed Dana White and all MMA promoters...
Nail it with this comment
his hardwork and dedication is unparalleled
what doesnt kill you makes you stronger and thats francis in a nutshell
Well said
I say that too, I’m surprised no one else points out. This is intelligence is absolutely insane, and he surrounds himself with Israel and usman
Yeah he seems to be an intelligent guy with the right team behind him.
Tyson Fury: I trained 12 weeks for Francis, I’m taking this man very serious!
*Francis puts Fury on his ass*
Fury fans: Fury didn’t train, he didn’t take the fight serious!
Somebody is lying
The ENTIRE Fury clan stated that Tyson trained for the Ngannou fight like NO OTHER! -- Why? Because he had no footage to study on Ngannou, and thus then, had to train for everything possible! -- which apparently wasn't enough🤣 And of course, Fury knew that he would never live down the embarrassment & ridicule of getting clocked by an MMA fighter, who had never had a pro-boxing match in his life!😅🤣😂
Fury admitted that Francis gave him problems, and was the toughest fight he'd had in a long time. Fury did train. And he didn't take Francis lightly. Reason he lost against Francis (and he did lose), is because Fury couldn't use his weight to bully Francis by leaning on him the way he does to all his other opponents. That's what tired Deonte out against him. Fury kept leaning on Deonte, and that weakened Deonte's legs.
@@mikep11218 I ain’t gon lie tho… I love Wilder but bruh is true to his last name. You see, Fury is an actual freak akin to lebron james he definitely uses his size as you stated but he fights small and unpredictable, it makes him very dangerous because he’s calculated and doesn’t strictly depend on size..
If fury didn’t do that, I still see Fury beating Wilder simply due to the fact Wilder swings wild. He barrages POWERFUL punches that lose effect immediately when it’s placed randomly on someone’s body.
I don’t think you’re wrong at all, I just think Wilder is an old dog who can’t be taught new tricks as it’s made him one of the best today, but if he had precision and punched with intention besides simply doing damage… brother.
@@mikep11218deontes lil legs was screaming for mercy 😂😂
people dont attack fury for boxing most attacks on fury is because hes a traveller/gypsy thats why most put hate on him
Anyone who saw Francis in his run in the UFC ESPECIALLY fighting Stipe the 2nd time and Gane, knows that:
1) A patient Francis is a DEADLY francis
2) There was no punch Fury could throw that could possibly knock Francis out
3) Fury would never be able to out-clinch and would get burnt out even trying.
Fury’s most used tools were literally taken from him, nothing much he could do but jab and attack from the outside. This aint Wilder, Francis could bully Fury by sheer physicality
I was definitely certain that knocking out Francis was impossible...dude has a granite chin. He took an elbow and kept pushing like nothing happened...
Great points!
Big facts
Also furys record is highly padded!!! He isn't as good as people make him seem
Hindsight is 20/20 nobody thought he would win bro
Greatest Boxing Debut in history ...
I think Francis has a good chance against AJ & Wilder too.
Nah.
Aj for sure!
@@trueempire8948
Wilder fought Fury 3 times.
AJ has no confidence.
Francis Ngannou will kill AJ.
@@donaldpowell6725Based on what? AJ has beaten more top 10 opponents than both Fury and Wilder. Fury ran from fighting AJ, and Deontay Wilder ran from undisputed with AJ. His resume is better than both of them combined even though his career started after their careers. Fury lost because he is a bum.
Once you have 1-punch KO power, you always have a chance 🥊
Oddly enough he didn't even need one punch knockout power. He was handling Fury with fundamentals.😕
It wasn’t just KO power, Ngannou won rounds where he literally outboxed fury
Thank you!!! All these wishy washy experts opinion has zero value
Truth be told. Most of us thought there was no way Tyson was going to struggle against Francis😅
Francis is a world champion. Let's agree to that and move on.
Says a Tyson fury fan…….
Move on ? WHAT are you saying we shouldn't talk about the the fight are you the video police
@@davidparkes7977😅
How is he world champion he lost Fury won
Move on the next fight sir.@@davidparkes7977
I'm glad Michael Jai White addresses his own words. He's a great guy. But honestly i didn't like the downplaying of Ngannou. It looked disrespecful.
When a novice boxer beats a heavyweight .. it says a lot about the level of that heavyweight and todays boxing quality. And that is why i predicted that Ngannou would beat Fury.
MJW thinks he can beat anybody, even though he never professionally fought.
He didn’t beat him
@@trueempire8948 the whole world saw that Francis Ngannou won that fight. Anyone denying that loves the cheater (elbow strike) Fury.
Fury got knocked down,
Fury got swollen eyes,
Fury got cut on his head,
Fury got the most punches in his face and body,
Fury grabbed all the time,
Fury gave a headbutt,
Fury gave an elbow,
Now tell me how he could have won on points if he just touched (tickle) Francis like he sparred his brother… ?
@@Bingo_the_Pug actually he did. It’s easy to find here on CZcams..
Yeah and if you're heavyweight champion of the world you really shouldn't be in such bad shape, Fury is fat and other than a forty something Foreman I can't remember a champion in such bad physical shape as Fury.
They have to do a movie on Francis man! He can attain that Ali level of status if he continues the way he is. With what he's done, its just amazing
Ohhhhhhh that's so true... Real Rags to Riches right there...
Oh hell no. Ali is like Tupac is with rapping. Ali wasn't the best fighter in the ring and he lost a lot. He's the greatest because of what he did outside of the ring. Just like Tupac is the greatest rapper because of what he did outside of rap. Tupac isn't even close to the greatest lyricist, but he has the most fans. To be honest the greatest boxer of all time is Cus trained Tyson. After Cus died Mike lost focus. 💯
NEVER
Rocky didn't have to go through the Sahara desert
Man! Don't ever forget about determination. The man crossed the Mediterranean sea in a man made raft
I said exactly the same thing. It's just logic. But apparently Ngannou defies all logic.
100% agree.
Francis still lost....
@@shawncain882he sure did, by 1 point which is embarrassing for Fury 😅
@Celebscandal a win is a win
@@shawncain882 You are lacking critical thinking 🤦♀️
They’ll make a movie about Francis Ngannou one day
NEVER
Much respect for eating up his word
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MJW TO COME OUT AFTER THE BOUT AND THANK GOD HE DID.
The moral lesson never say someome has no chance.
tyson fury really went out there and embarrassed himself in front of the whole world
Ngannou did WAY better than ANYBODY thought he would do. Even Tyson
They need to make a movie about him ... i would wait in line to get the ticket
Not sure why everyone is surprised like Francis doesn’t put people on the asses. He just did it with bigger gloves and less “tools” to worry about 🤷🏾♂️.
Because MMA & Boxing are different... it's a completely different kettle of fish, you pretentious tw at.
Maybe because we've seen UFC fighters go into boxing before and they always get dominated e.g. Mcgregor. Francis is legit the first guy to do what he has just done.
@@MR12AMAZING anyone who knows MMA know Gregor has BEEN washed. That was a money grab. Francis is a legit heavyweight he’s a fighter.
@@deejay22369No, it's because Fury is a bum who was exposed for being a bum. He is not a representative of what a proper heavyweight is. He doesn't even look like one, he's covered in flab head to toe. Fury had close fights with Wilder even though he weighed about 50lbs heavier than him. This is why he avoids AJ like the plague, he knows that AJ is far stronger and bigger than him and will not allow him to lean on him, and clinch him until he gasses out. He avoids anyone who he doesn't have an enormous weight advantage over. He got outboxed in some rounds by Wilder who very clearly lacks the most basic fundamental boxing skills.
@@shay_3859 I don’t think he’s a bum. I would put Francis against any of those guys you mentioned and he wins KO
Just because it’s a sanctioned fight doesn’t mean it’s for the title. There are rules about fighting ranked contenders, timeframes etc.
💯You know more than both Vlad & Michael!! 👍
@@Transcendent-Economics-101
He’s right. Francis just ranked in the top 10 by the WBC.
fortunately, VLad went and googled and cleaned it up on the spot here.
Yep. Part of that rule is You're not supposed to get your azz handed to you boxing someone who's never fought a professional fight. 😋💯
Been waiting for this clip 🤣🤣🤣
MJW is not wrong. Nobody believed what Francis was going to do except for Francis himself. It was an unimaginable thing Francis did. I couldn’t be anymore proud of him.
I thought he had a fair chance. Ngannu is a machine, it wasn’t that surprising if you actually watched Ngannu rather than the concept and an MMA fighter beating a boxer in boxing
Mighty Mouse called it.
Michael speaking nothing but facts 💯
It was really nice watching that fight with you and your MMA friends at Hudson Grille. I remember the look in your face when Naganou dropped Fury….it was a fun night
Fury’s not undisputed. He’s not even unified.
He’s definitely undisputed and was unified and current lineal champion .
He's currently not the unified champion Alexander uysk holds 3 heavyweight titles
@@rjc1911 yes
Makes sense, since Usyk holds all the other main belts! I mean, why fight Usyk if Fury is UNDISPUTED?! I agree with you totally.
Undisputed and lineal are 2 different things
Pay homage to Mike Tyson for believing
Well i never doubted the capability of Ngannou.
Anyone who knows Francis story would know he is a different type of animal.
Francis greatest strength is not from his physical attribute but his mind, his indomitable will to succeed.
So Francis impressive performance against Tyson Fury comes as no surprise to most of us.
I guarantee you even Jon Jones would have his hands full if he ever steps into the octagon with Francis.
It was one of the Greatest Performances in sports history
I could have sworn Mike Tyson trained Francis for that fight.
Yes he did
Mike trained Francis for the camera
Dewey Cooper is Francis’ real boxing coach
@@PraisetheLawd 💯💯💯SPEAK!!!
@@PraisetheLawd He trained him but just for a few days. He wasn't always around.
Vlad was laughing and trying to crack jokes and clown Francis Ngannou too when Michael Jai White said he had no chance. Why he acting like he wasnt in agreement. Vlad got proven wrong too! Michael Jai says nobody but Ngannous team gave him a chance. That is a lie. I predicted everything 3 months before the fight. The same day UFC let Francis go i said he would beat Fury. The proof is on my page. Michael Jai White is an actor. A fake fighter who pretends to be a real fighter who knows it all. He doesnt..
Good win by Francis 🔥🔥
It was just Dewey cooper! It was also coach Eric sicknick coaching Francis
That was a really good fight for Francis. For him to go in and knock down the heavyweight champion of the world says a lot about his potential to become a professional boxer. I hope he continues on the path of boxing. Tyson Fury may have won the fight but Francis sure as hell won the respect on that night.
Michael jai while... is the greatest fighter and actor of all time
Nah, Francis won the fight -- but was jilted for the decision. Even Fury himself, knew that he lost = Fury gave NO post-fight serenade, no post fight conference... but certainly a quick exit out of town!!!!!
Tyson lost that fight Francis was robbed
@Transcendent-Economics-101 Tyson won the fight, but didn't dominate like he wanted to, is the reason he felt embarrassed, especially against a guy fighting for the first time as a pro boxer
Just shows how much weight MJW combat knowledge holds. Equivalent of listening to Steve Harvey’s relationship advice
He trains & spars regularly but never been in a sanctioned professional fight, so in his own mind he’s undefeated
C'mon man, hindsight is 20/20. Absolutely nobody was predicting Ngannou, who was a complete amateur in boxing, to beat the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. Only people who thought that was UFC fanboys and biased Africans. The result of that fight aint got shit to do with combat knowledge. MJW still knows x100 more than you do.
Thanks bro !! Is Ngannou
Michael Jai White was once quoted as saying he’d step in the ring with anybody… except Francis Ngannou. He’d humble his ass real quick.
Ok, and Frances is bigger taller and weights more. MJW as always been consitant on the mans body. Pro level fighters matter in context
Michael Jai White is such a classy dude for admitting he was wrong. In fairness to him, probably 97% of people thought Tyson Fury would breeze past Ngannou.
So, Mike Tyson's opinion and support of Ngannou didn't count for anything with MJW?
Respect...A man can say he is wrong and be comfortable!
I gave Francis a great chance because Mike Tyson committed to him and trained him quite well so I actually thought he was gonna win and in reality he did win but the judges were not gonna let him beart the top ranked boxer in the world without a knock out! Everyone knew that would be the case but he almost pulled it off!
Mike tyson did NOT train francis, he was paid to “act” as a trainer for promotion only. The real trainer was dewey cooper from mayweather gym.
Mike didn’t train him like you think
@@1Deep43VA Well tell Francis that because he himself gushed over how Mike prepared him and worked on his footwork.
hahaha🤣 According to Nicsick & Dewey, Mike only showed up (3) times over the course of the entire camp...
@@Transcendent-Economics-101 well Francis pretty much gave Mike the lionshare of the credit because he's the ONLY person he mentioned when he discussed his training. So take that up with Francis....jokes on you all...lol
I'm a huge fan of Francis and Sensei White. Considering how Coach Cooper is his actual friend and he's been in the gym with them I would have thought he could find a way to sugarcoat or say it's 50/50 even if he didn't believe it. Goes to show even our role models and heroes are human too.
Francis came from the sandmines of africa as soon as i knew he'd secured a fight with fury i knew he was gonna win! It was his destiny!
And i know he didn't technically win on the majority of the judges scorecards but other than that Francis won that fight in every which way and for all intents and purposes...
It isn't a lot of people who thought the opposite of what MJW said in the flashback clip, including me. No one should blame him for that take.
Fury’s belt wasn’t on the line in that fight but it was an officially sanctioned fight
wasn't the lineal one on the line?
Francis’s life will be a movie one day and it’ll be amazing
He had a punchers chance.
Take back those Bruce Lee comments too.
But unlike Francis, Bruce Lee wasn’t a professional fighter
Make a movie about it guys let's go
I was very much of the same opinion as MJW. I've watched boxing for 49 years, and we have NEVER seen what Ngannou did. EVERRRRRR. I MEAN.... EVERRRRRRRRR!!!! Before.
Francis always had a puncher's chance of winning but his ring IQ was amazing. He also take directions from his trainers and coaches really well.
Every one regrets after that performance
Bruce Lee is grinning from the afterlife. lol
Glad to hear this...i watched the previous interview ...francis proved em wrong
Now Vlad vs Michael Jai White, SET IT UP!
Let's not forget he was also coached by Mike Tyson
Not really mike Tyson was just used to promote the fight and be there along the process.. he wasn’t the real main trainer
I don’t understand the people who said Ngannou had no chance he literally has the hardest punch in ALL of combat sports. I will admit that I was surprised to see that he has pretty good boxing skills. I want to see more of his boxing.
Not only did Francis have a chance he actually won but they didn’t want that to be how that Tyson Fury storyline to go too much $ on the line
If you think he won you know nothing about boxing
@@El_terrible1985ngannou won,cry bitch
@@El_terrible1985it's you that doesn't know shit
Fury isn't undisputed, Usyk has the rest of the belts. Fury only has one ... one that he hasn't defended. Then looked the way he did against Nganou.. He almost lost his belt there
Suprised Vlad didnt get corrected by MJW.
Lennox Lewis is the last Undisputed Boxing HW Champ
@@vitigaymer1053 next undisputed is usyk
Its crazy given MJW fighting experience, to think that Ngannou would act the same in boxing as MMA. Obviously feints in MMA are different because you have to worry about kicks and grappling
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS !!!! BWAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣
I just heard Vlad say flashback😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody except Francis or maybe his coach thought he was going to perform like that.
The underestimate how fast Ngannou is, why do you think his punches are so powerful, strength plus speed.
I was not surprised
We all thought the same thing, Ngannou proved everybody wrong.
Got in a raft to cross the Mediterranean Sea without knowing how to swim ..and you bet against him ? Ok !
He's not undisputed, but he has held all the belts but not at the same time.
I thought Ngannou had no chance but so great to see him prove me wrong, hope he gets another big fight and great he got such a huge paycheck rather than getting Dana rip off checks.
Yeah that was a unbelievable fight I’m still shocked
Can somebody tell me WHY Michael trains again??? The only recorded fight I can find of his was when he was 17 😂😂😂 I wanna see a REAL fight.
Go up to him and try him then. Sike nah lol, I want to see him in a real fight too. Hopefully he does an exhibition fight before he gets too old
Francis is the peoples champ the real rocky💯
People are often underestimated 😊
What they fail to realize is that this wasnt Ngannou first boxing match. Although it was his first PROFESIONAL fight he has boxed in the past. In fact he has abou 15 amature fights so he does know the fundamentals. We have to remember that boxing was his first passion but then he decided to go into MMA
No doubt... but since we can't compare 15 raw amateur boxing matches against virtual nobodies vs the most elite HW boxer in the modern world, we feel quite grounded in the feeling that this was his "debut" into pro-boxing against the best! 🤔
Yeah, because fighting in amateur circuit is the same as figuring world champs 😂😂😂
Just take the L
I swear people on the internet just make up shit, he's never had any amateur fights. He trained 1 year boxing in Camaroon.
Ngannou knocked down Fury AND took an illegal elbow. He won that fight.
That's why in life,never look down on anybody honestly. Anything can happen 😅😅
Im really tired if people saying mike tyson trained him because its disrespectful to his team who actually put in the work. Mike was there as part of the promotion to sell the fight he was not there day to day
Exactly 💯
I always knew. Genetic. Phenomenal, gifted by his.
I wasnt surprised because of the fact Mike Tyson was involved.
His obsession and perfectionisme was what i think the biggest influence on this all.
Choosing Mike Tyson was very smart of Nganou.
This is a perfect example why , I didn't pay any attention to Michael Jai White saying all these dudes could beat Bruce Lee. Michael is a guy who trains hard and has experience but talks like a Amateur.
There’s no way you are comparing being wrong about a 270 pound ufc heavyweight champion to a 125 pound actor who beat up the occasional janitor on movie sets?
A lot of experienced people got it wrong. Bernard Hopkins said he has zero chance too
Oh here we go with Bruce Lee shit again. Give it a rest

Rampage called it %100
Cooper trains him in MMA Mike Tyson was actually his trainer and coach for that fight. Tyson was working with him showing him everything he could in the time he had and props to Ngannou for retaining the information and being able to put it to use. But Tyson was the perfect person to train him given he was the Tyson of UFC
Mike Tyson was only showing up once in awhile. Francis said that his coach for that fight was Cooper with Tyson assisting once in awhile. So, do not take away Cooper's credit and give to Tyson just because we know Tyson is a champion
@@mammaman8400 DC is a Martial Artist with all due respect. He been training Francis for his whole MMA career. Link where Francis said Tyson only showing up once in a while 😂 and I'll link you him saying Tyson is his trainer for this fight, he was Francis corner 😂 he literally was at every press conference, training Francis showing him BOXING TECHNIQUES. The knock on Francis was he was sloppy, just winging punches (ya know how he was fighting with DC as his trainer) Tyson cleaned up his technique (as much as he could in that amount of time) and it showed in the fight because he looked totally different. Way more tight and compact shorter punches good HEAD-MOVMENT all things that we watched Tyson train him on. It's tons of their training sessions online. To say that Tyson was only there once in a while when he volunteered to be his trainer for the fight, was there with him through the whole process to the point that Furys dad got butt hurt because he named his son after him and now he's on stage training his sons competition to beat him. You don't know what you're talking about if for one you think Dewey trained him to fight the #1 p4p heavyweight BOXER (NOT KICK BOXER) in the world only for him to drop him and win the fight in most peoples eyes. You think the man who has been training him to throw them sloppy hooks in MMA (Dewey) all of a sudden in one training camp where IRON MIKE TYSON was his said coach and Cornerman, and Ngannou looked better than he ever had, like a whole new fighter, but nah it wasn't the one thing that was different (Mike Tyson) but the same dude who trained him his whole career that had him looking like a big strong zero technique but tons of power winging looping punches to in one fight cleaned him up (from what you were teaching him in the first place) and got him to throw straight punches 😂😂 bruh stop. Mike was his trainer, it was him with him, talking for him, not Dewey. Even though he deserves credit for getting to the spot to train with Tyson and fight furry. But he gets zero credit for this fight. We saw the difference a real champion boxer brought to his bag
@@razaleesent.1579 All these you wrote is just from your head and not from Francis himself so, it's still allegedly
Michael j white always sees things from his own perspective. I’m glad someone has finally proved him wrong. At least from now onwards he won’t think he knows everything
So Proud of Francis!!!!
he is a great student, very disciplined
He also once stated he could beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match
Vlad the type to talk about other cultures but don't talk about people in Ukraine suffering
The best part is Francis is just getting started he will get better and the power will back up his punches
It's like a table tennis champion facing (Novak) Djokovic in the Wimbledon final - totally different+-Tyson Fury 😆😆😆😆
I can admit I never thought Francis could do so well cz of his wild swings in UFC, but nobody doubts he won that day... I believed him... I always believe people till they prove me wrong.
I Also Feel That This Was A Challenge Between Mike Tyson A Trainer For Francis & Tyson Fury As A Current & Active Elite Boxer..etc etc
Yep (vlad voice) I told you so
Mike Tyson needs his props in this
Fury literally jumped out of bed for this.. His level of focus vs wilder was way higher then this.. that’s his fault though, can’t make excuses but that’s the honest truth. He thought it would be a cake walk
Your mother should've swallowed you
well I'm glad he spoke on it and apologised, in a way
Francis's life story can tell u he is seen it all
People forget Francis had kickboxing experience in France for years before he came to the states. He talking like Francis only been doing mma his whole life.
I enjoy his movies but ignore his interviews, especially about fighting. Very good at what he does though. This example serves well to my point.
This dude is dressed like Chubbs from Happy Gilmore
Commented somewhere that Francis' 3 biggest strengths going into boxing is his stamina, power and the guy can eat punches.
You wouldn't have believed it if it happened in a movie, people don't realize what we witnessed.
MJW--We accept your apology like fans know you couldn't be Bruce Lee
weight classes exist for a reason.
He would mop the floor with Bruce lee. 100 pounds difference and MJW has more skill than bruce. He has been trainning longer that Bruce lived and longer than he has been dead. Bruce would lose in seconds
FRANCIS NGANNOU is the BADDEST MAN on the Planet. Period!
Tyson took that Ngannu fight lightly like when Mike Tyson lost to Holyfield
