Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesFrancis Ngannou told reporters he didn't even feel the knockout punch Anthony Joshua leveled to end their heavyweight boxing match in the second round on Friday in Saudi Arabia. "In fact, I didn't feel the punch,'' Ngannou said, per Josh Peter of USA Today. As combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani noted, this match marked the first time Ngannou has been knocked down and knocked out. Joshua dropped Ngannou in Round 1 before finishing the match in Round 2. Ngannou was out briefly before he made it to his stool.
