Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin & Austin Williams vs. River Wilson-Bent RBR.

AJ looked like he didn't want to get up from the stool.

 

I;L say it again anything above 246lbs and AJ becomes a plodder he ideally needs to fight at 244lbs

 

Joshua was genuinely hurt at the midpoint of that round but Franklin too tired/small/limited/ho
hurt himself to capitalise.

 

Franklin sparred Fury for Chisora.

This is why AJ can't handle him. Fury gave him some of Wilder's mojo which he has in a jar.

 

Win or lose, AJ's lost here. He's just a ghost of the man who fought Klitschko.

 

credit to franklin, hes eaten punches that would hae most other guys on their back.

 

Wlad def had some terrible fights, his fights against Ibragimov & Povetkin have to be among the worst hw title fights ever but he was a more dynamic fighter overall, had power in both hands and would at least commit occasionally. The Chambers fight was dire too but there was never any doubt who would win, there was probably not even a 30 second sequence you coud give to Chambers.

 

No doubt about it Wilder absolutely lays AJ out cold flat on his back Breazeale style now. AJ is so scared to commit against a guy who carn't punch he would freeze like a rabbit in the lights against Wilder.

 

If Franklin last the full 12 rounds, AJ might as well have lost because his ability to be competitive at the top level is over.

 

AJ needs a career change. Should switch to competitive bodybuilding.

 

Btw Joshua holding Franklins head with his lead hand whilst he lines up is illegal. Just in case anyone was wondering.

 

Franklin needs to throw uppercut. He is the smaller man. When on the inside rip that uppercut.

 

Franklin takes a great punch.

 

Head lock Arm lock,no inside game at all. Franklin is poor and Joshua is only slightly better .

 

Klitschko was 44 and inactive for 2 years.
