    Thats how I have it too.

    4-0 AJ is laughable.

    With this performance, does it matter if AJ is winning?

    Joshua is winning these rounds for me but he's not looking great doing it.

    It's been clear too see that AJ has been consumed by the mental pressure of this fight given how much is riding on it. A third loss will be the end of him and he's fighting scared.

    If Joshua is trying to lure some future opponent into a false sense of confidence by winning ugly on purpose, he's doing a bloody good job.

    Fury has ducked throughout his career but he definitely hasn't ducked AJ. Forced to fight Wilder again and then AJ didn't accept offer.

    AJ lands a good hard shot, Franklyn just shrugs it off and returns fire. Joshua covers up.

    AJ should retire after this fight regardless. He's DONE.

    Round 1 Joshua 10-9
    Round 2 Joshua 10-9
    Round 3 Franklin 10-9
    Round 4 Joshua 10-9
    Round 5 Joshua 10-9

    AJ pressing forward a little more, lands a nasty right and left hook, Franklin lands an uppercut. Franklin rushes in, walks into a right. AJ triples up the jab. Throws a right and misses it. AJ in close probing with the jab. Savage right from AJ flies his head. His confidence is growing. Franklin goes to the body. They hold, AJ hooking to the body in close. They trade, AJ got the better of it. Another grazing right from AJ.

    AJ 4-1

    If Franklin had more punch power he'd be in the mix here, walking through AJ's punches to land a few.

    Joshua looks terrified to exchange, honestly he looks finished. Ruiz & Usyk took his soul. Fury gotta be watching this thinking about making the fight now.
