>>13719501That's not what's happening there.
Ngannou is either trying to paw at Joshua with his left -- this is called framing and is used, typically, to measure your right hand so you can throw it more accurately, George Foreman was famous for this.
OR his intention was to pull down AJ's guard which is another tactic favored by strong heavyweights
But Ngannou shows his inexperience in mistiming a frame and just eats a beautiful straight right hand that goes right to the button.
>boxing is fake and gaylol, if you don't understand why this was a beautiful counterpunch, that's on you. The most devastating counters are typically timed when an opponent is just starting a motion of his own and that's what happens here -- the punch lands right as Ngannou attempts to act. This sort of timed power punch often results in a flash KO. But I wouldn't expect a groundhump enthusiast to understand the finer mechanics of stand up.
