    AJ's confidence is **** to bits. He won wide enough but there was little self-belief there and he fought scared all night long.

    AJ kept Franklin at arms length, which was smart and Franklin didn't or couldn't get inside.

    I'm thinking of Joe Frazier bobbing and weaving to get inside of AJ's arms and left hooking him into Bolivian.

    AJ is finished mentally

    Fury must have caught him in a sauna

    Not a great performance but still a beatdown. I don't think anything has changed, AJ still beats Fury and loses to Usyk, Wilder, Joyce.

    Not too impressive from Joshua although will likely stop Whyte next time out which will again prove nothing much given his mandible.

    Got it 10-2 for AJ. Kinda sad to see how he is now. But hey, it's a win. Maybe he'll get one of those big fights next.

    Klitschko and Usyk ripped his soul apart. Ruiz ate the remains.

    Good fight win decisively on points by AJ. Franklin has a good chin.

    Did they say Tony Bellew was kicking off outside the ring with Franklin's team?
