He is saying I'm gonna do it my way. Bit of swearing I hear. Could he get iced April 1st? Eddie Hearn admits to being nervous. AJ taking a massive pay cut. THOUSANDS of tickets still unsold.
He's taking no risk He's picked a tiny, feather fisted man to fight It's about as risk averse a pick as he could have done
Will be astonished if Joshua loses to Franklin - this level of shock right up there with one armed Danny Williams taking out Mark Potter and John Fury ducking Micky Theo.
He will blast him out with 4 rounds. Franklin did well against Whyte, but he hits about as hard as Sonny Edwards. No risk of another Ruiz Jr here.
After losing to Andy Ruiz and then twice to Usyk I don’t think he will be under any pressure. No matter how the fight does he still gets paid his ridiculous quota that Eddie and 258 negotiated for him He’s fighting a feather fisted HW that was working in a factory a year ago, no matter how hard Franklin tries or trains he’s going to be way behind the likes of AJ who’s been training 3 times a day for the past 13 years, how does anyone expect to bridge that gap in such a short space of time. AJ still beats everyone in the division apart from Fury and Usyk, even if he was fighting Joe Joyce I’d have still have AJ as a hearty favourite.
Agreed with every word of your post until the end. I think AJ and Joyce is 50-50 and on form Joyce has his nose in front. I think he'd wear AJ down and avoid getting knocked out but potentially get robbed on the cards.
