Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin & Austin Williams vs. River WIlson-Bent RBR.

Crazy thing is, with Fury's recent antics tonight was a great opportunity for AJ to win back a ton of fair weather fans

 

6-1 AJ. Franklin not doing enough.

 

Round 1: Franklin 10-9
Round 2: Joshua 10-9
Round 3: Joshua 10-9 (close)
Round 4: Joshua 10-9
Round 5: Joshua 10-9
Round 6: Joshua 10-9
Round 7: Joshua 10-9

69-64 Joshua

Joshua can’t miss with the jab. Another Joshua round..

 

He never looked like he had fight in him when Ruiz beat him in New York and people made excuses such as concussion.

Imagine him in a fight like Chisora v Whyte 1 - just don't see that desire and fight is there at all watching this.

 

2013-16 AJ would have had this finished in the first 6 maximum. Probably earlier.

Every time he lands the straight right there's just no follow-up off the left, and there's barely a counter punch at all.

 

We should have known. When a boxer keeps changing trainers, it's usually someone who is confused and not really focused on himself but instead thinks the trainer is the problem.

 

Imagine Wilder in with either of these carcasses

 

Eggie looks like he's gna burst into tears too.

 

Franklin is feather fisted.

 

Costello needs to relax

Few nice jabs and calls it brilliant

 

AJ won every round jabbing well but thats where the positives for AJ ends.

Only throwing single shots instead throwing the brilliant combos he's known for. Seems very cautious and cagey, not letting himself to trade with Franklin. It appears to be lacking confidence in himself,, and seems scared of getting hurt.

 

If he plays his cards right he'll be training AJ next time

 

Costello thinks hes calling the 2.15 at Aintree the fackin cuunt.

 

I’ve never known a commentary with so many periods of silence. It’s weird.

 

Reminds me when Ricky Burns left Billy Nelson after losing to Terence Crawford.

His trainer made him the man he was and World Champion against the odds - another shocking decision and never the same fighter again after that change.
