    Just tuned in. Franklin looks very ordinary, and the opponent looks, well, like an opponent!

    And what the hell is this trend of HWs using the nickname "Drago?" Has Netflix been doing a Rocky film marathon or something?

    Going by Munoz' shape and Franklin's attire, this fight is like if someone wanted to get Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder action figures to fight, but could only find the dollar store variants.

    Is Munoz about to win via the Homer Simpson method?

    I think Munoz is Canelo's ******ed fat younger brother. Dude is trying way too hard to fight like Canelo.

    Actually Franklin looks more like a dollar store version of Bermane Stiverne!

    Speaking of Undisputed, I know I compared him to pizza dough and play doh already, but Munoz also looks like a character you'd make in the create a fighter for that if you only gave yourself five minutes to put something together.

    Alright, last one, I promise.

    Going by the lame stone jokes and that laugh, you cannot convince me the commentary team aren't smoking something.

    Round 1 Franklin 10-9
    Round 2 Franklin 10-9
    Round 3 Franklin 10-9
    Round 4 Franklin 10-9
    Round 5 Franklin 10-9
    Round 6 Munoz 10-9
    Round 7 Franklin 10-9
    Round 8 Munoz 10-9

    Munoz defending fairly well, and probably landed the more eye catching punches.

    He dropped a round to an albino punching bag with C cup titties. This is not world level.

    Franklin claimed before the fight to be a top 5 heavyweight.

    He doesn't look like a top 50. He could be top 100 though.

    Anderson and the other heavyweights will want to fight him for a soft touch, as Whyte and Joshua already have.

    "This guy fought AJ and Whyte, why can't he get this guy out of here?!"

    Uh, I mean, he lost both of those fights. You can argue he won against Whyte, but as far as I can recall he never came close to knocking either one to the canvas. Don't really see how that applies.

    Kinda reflects poorly on them but you know none of these kissasses would imply anything like that.
