AJ v Franklin.

Ruiz despite his physique had some ok wins. This fellas claim to fame is he was robbed against a shot Whyte

 

Juiced to the GILLS
or
Juiced up to his back teeth?

 

If you remove the AJ vs Franklin fight, what is left ?

One of the worst Matchroom events in living memory.

 

I completely forgot about Campbell Hatton who has now racked up 10 wins.

This fight must be followed by an eliminator fighting Terry Harper for a World Title Fight versus Ebanie Bridges.

 

Very different tone from Joshua in interviews this fight week. The PR strategy is clear.. make him look like the good guy at a time when Fury is public enemy number 1.

Think he’s probably had extensive media training post Usyk 2. Weirdly though he seems pretty relaxed and natural. It’s refreshing actually, far more watchable than all the pseudo-philosopher stuff and random name dropping of American gangsters.

 

He's no different to always. He's been media trained since his GB days.

 

I haven't watched any more than a few seconds but judging by the headlines he is trying to look confident, which he should be because he's up against a bloke that couldn't put a dent in Whyte

 

Couldnt care enough to look at anything more than headlines yet care enough to comment. Come on safin mate.

 

Anyone else going to this? Ticket prices insane but as its only a few tube stops away...

 

Joshua back to his bread and butter dayjob of spraying lynx and koing puddings

 

I wouldn't go to this if it was in my back garden.

 

AJ is throwing 200 punches a round in sparring. Source: Tony Bellew.

big josh is going to be gassed after two rounds if this is true and Franklin ko at 9/1 suddenly looks like value.

the only problem is the source of this inside track, I can’t trust that guys opinion of any matchroom fighter since he seems to be a paid mouthpiece of Hearns junior in some capacity or another

 

If he is throwing 200 punches a round, i assume it would be one round a day, the rest of the day getting his breath back.

 

Evens on skybet for Franklin to be knocked down in rounds 1-6…

 

yeah that seems like a value bet if josh isn't completely gunshy at this point, he should be able to muster some front foot courage against a complete pudding
