He could barley punch in boxing. He will

A shocker!

Interesting to see his first fight. I hope Hassan N'Dam know what he doing.

Another past prime boxer doing mma for one last paycheck instead for the love of fighting which never ends well. I know the excuses fans say they dont pay more than boxing but you can fight just to see where your skills rank in fighting against someone your caliber and not make a career out of it.

He was not a murderous puncher but he had above average power it's just he relied more on his movement and speed wasn't that type of fighter it might serve him well in MMA he had really good footwork but he is a little on the older side and has been in some battles. Say what you want about this guy but he had some crazy heart and showed it against some big punchers.

I don't see him winning a title in a major organization but he might get some wins anything is possible look how fast his countryman Ngannou came up with limited MMA experience.

Striking intuition and defense N’Dam is a level WAY UP than many whom compete in MMA. Boxer’s conditioning and upper power in striking, particularly those whom are proven elite level boxers, are far more superior than MMA strikers. The feints, traps, head movement and punching power is not something an MMA fighters wants to gamble with against NDam. In fact isn’t N’Dam the first youngest former boxing Champ crossing to MMA?

Guys going against N’Dam will rely on a lot of lateral movement as N’Dam tries to headhunt. Kicking and grappling is what many would train for against N’Dam. As far as striking with 4oz gloves many in MMA aren’t about that bidness. Plus N’Dam will probably juice up like most MMA fighters since it isn’t as strict as boxing

This will probably go as well as his Olympic run.

It was a nice counter punch. Even though it’s not against high level opponents.
