    Joshua looks shot shy and hopefully just having a quick look in the first round.

    Looks terrified of taking a shot even against a feather fisted pudding.

    Throw bombs FFS

    Well done Franklin, he got the important stuff right in that first round. Good head movement, ditched a couple of hard shots, looks vulnerable to the left hook, but hey-ho.

    AJ is mentally shot to bits, he needs to hang em up but while ever there is money on the table he will be made to fight.

    Joshua looks so slow. Most likely just taking it easy but still. Still beat Franklin to the punch though.

    10-9 Joshua for me.

    Would like to see more footwork from AJ.

    Joshua has always fought like this though. Moving in straight lines, robotic feet movement, throwing punches whilst leaning back with a scared mentality.

    Anthony Joshua has morphed into Big Audley Harrison in front of our eyes.

    No wonder Fury wants the easy loot!!!!

    Round 1: Franklin 10-9
    Round 2: Joshua 10-9

    19-19

    Better round from Joshua who is starting to land his right hand. However, Franklin already has Joshua’s nose running with blood. I think that was from the right hook Franklin landed in the opening round which I mentioned previously.

    This is good, this is surprisingly good fun, I like what I hear from the Franklin corner. He'll probably get flattened but Franklin has delivered on that Whyte promise in the first two rounds. Lost both of them though :lol:

    I really, really, really wish Tony Bellew would stick his finger in an electrical socket. All you can hear is him screaming like someone in the midst of being sectioned.
