Maybe I need to rewatch the fight, I don't mean his punch speed but ability to close distance with footwork. To me it didn't look like he had an effective offense in between his power counters. Boxing the highest level is absolutely leagues above where MMA striking is, let alone the HW level for sure, he can't do what he used to and bullrush. However wouldn't it be in Ngannou's favor if he can make it punch for punch and create times to trade? The first 3 rounds are probably the biggest danger where Joshua will be more hesitant to engage and commit the least to his punches. Either way, I assume Joshua turns it into a boxing match for most of the fight once Ngannou's gas is more than halfway done.
