    He lost his last two fight. He won almost every round tonight. As Larry Merchant used to say...You win this one, look good the next one.

    if im his trainer, im ok with his performance. needs polishing, and some speed. but that should come as these new steps hes taking become second nature. i think fury beats tonights version, but i would feel i could have him ready to beat fury by the time fury builds up the confidence.

    Joshua won but this was far less than elite. Joshua should have had this level of opposition after fighting pudding. The man has never recovered.

    He dented it for sure, but he looked far more confident against Andy in the rematch, against Pulev, and against Usyk the first and second time, than he did tonight. So Usyk still gets full credit.

    Fury might be keeping a low profile for a while.

    Even his ardent fans are pissed off with him.

    Joyce would KO Franklin

    That must be who AJ is referring to

    "In the next fifteen years, no-one will remember that fight anyway"

    Thanks AJ, showing respect to the people paying to attend and watch this fight

    I thought and agreed absolutely with everything you said there, mate. I couldn't see it going any other way.

    Kudos to Franklin, decent chin and he came to fight.

    AJ gets the win, but his time is now up I think.

    "in 15 years no one will remember this fight" I don't think thats a positive thing at all lol, shouldn't it be his aim to have memorable fights?!

    James’ corner advice was pretty awful. I was surprised cause he’s usually a good trainer.

    Joshua’s power has always been so over rated .
