    TBH
    Franklin just wanted to survive for the last 4 rounds, just bulling forward with his head down and looking to clinch

    118-110 Joshua

    End of 12th round...they need to get separated? Like there wasn't some way they could've settled that in the last 40 minutes?

    Lol

    Team Fury will be ejaculating with excitement now. Aj would never beat Fury, but right now he hasn't a prayer

    We are robbed with an all time great fight by team Fury, to grab this joker for casual interest and bring the most dollar?

    Sad, but it's a business

    Don't think he's rubbish but I do think Wilder sleeps him.

    1. 10 - 9 AJ
    2. 10 - 9 AJ
    3. 10 - 9 AJ closer
    4. 10 - 9 AJ close
    5. 10 - 9 AJ
    6. 10 - 9 AJ
    7. 10 - 9 AJ close
    8. 10 - 9 AJ Both gas tanks are low.
    9. 10 - 9 AJ close. Both men tired. AJ seems distracted. Doesn't look like his mind is on fight.
    10. 10 - 9 AJ. AJ has lost a step or two. The pre- Andy AJ finishes his man off in rd 10.
    11. 10 - 9 AJ. The AJ of old would have finished Franlkin after that body shot. AJ has lost his confidence
    12. 10 - 9 AJ

    120 - 108 AJ

    Four rounds close. The closest possible score I can see would be 116 - 112.

    AJ, IMO, probably shut his man out.

    However, he didn't look all that confident, and didn't seem to want to riskmgoing in for the kill when Franklin was hurt.

    I scored it 118-111 for AJ, but overall, that was a disappointing showing by AJ. He looks gun shy. His past losses are still haunting him.

    Will Joshua cry in the post fight? Blame everyone else for his performance? or both?

    Rubbish is harsh, but he isn't great by any means

    Huggy bearing your opponent to death is deemed ''great defence'' across the pond. AJ hooks up with a top American trainer and he becomes Americanized like Wlad was.

    Probably good thing he got the rounds in. Also it's a guy who has never been stopped, so if AJ stops him it's a decent confidence booster. If he doesn't stop him, you can say, "well he's never been stopped".
