AJ KNOCKS OUT NGANNOU IN 2ND ROUND
Just as stakeholders were adjusting their seats to go into a long night of 10 round of boxing classic, they were told, it was over.
Riyadh Rumble reminds us of the June 27, 1988 bout between Mike Tyson and Michael Spinks. It ended in 91 seconds. Iron Mike made Spinks suck.
Anthony Joshua knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round of a stirring victory during Friday's heavyweight bout in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua, the British star, knocked down Ngannou in the first round, knocked him down again in the second round and then delivered the knockout punch at 2:38 of the second round.
By this victory, AJ is itching closer to a cracker with Tyson Fury as the Briton dreams of returning at the biggest stage as the undisputable No. 1 in the heavyweight class of boxing.
Promoter Eddie Hearn says "AJ is the Baddest man on the planet and he is the beast of the ring." AJ himself says, "It is what it is."
