Ngannou hits a lot harder, is more durable and is harder to TD and clinch against.
nah not buying this. The difference between how hard JR and Ngannou hit is not relevant. They both hit plenty hard to put away Reem in one shot.
I also don't buy that Ngannou is more durable since JR has never been finished and there isn't really enough tape to know.
In terms of Reem effectively clinching or taking down JR I have my doubts. If Reem can successfully close the distance and clinch him for 3 rounds then props to him. I think ever second this fight stays on the feet Reem is in trouble.
The path to victory I see for Reem is to stay on his bike for 3 rounds and jab/teep from the outside. JR will likely gas after r1 or r2 anyway. I think JR -150 is where I would cap it. JR has almost no mileage on him whereas Reem is on the tail end of his career with a glass chin. I don't trust Reem at all in an exchange with JR which is tough to avoid for 3 rounds.
