    Franklin has just been robbed by matchroom

    No way he lost that fight

    It was close. So, not a robbery. But I think he shaded it. 116-112 was a **** take...

    Franklin landed cleaner shots, had faster hands and looked in control most rounds.

    Franklin was robbed.

    I've not watched it but judging by the RBR the scores were all over the place so I suspect when I watch it I won't see a Robbery.. I've also noticed whyte rubs people up the wrong way so they will naturally score against him

    Was far from the worst robbery I've seen, Whyte definitely won rounds.

    Franklin deserved at least a draw.

    I had it 115-113 Franklin, the best I could see it for Whyte is a draw, so yes I agree. But it wasn't an egregious one.

    The most recent version of Chisora (from Pulev 2) would beat tonight's version of Whyte.

    Whyte is absolutely terrible, nothing more than a gatekeeper. No one would rate him if he didn't have the Matchroom propaganda machine behind him.

    I agree. listening to David Haye saying that Whyte is still an elite heavyweight is ridiculous, Haye talks some ****

    Haye gave it to Wnyte by one round which is probably fair. Four rounds on two cards is a clown show.

    Can you stop with these ridiculous threads ? do you even know what a robbery is ? a close debatable fight is not a robbery. You had boxing fans in the RBR with varied scorecards which shows how debatable it was. 115-113 either way was fair i thought Whyte edged it with his harder punches and body punching.

    I had Franklin edging it or best I could give Whyte was a draw but then again it was a Matchroom show but 116-112 TWICE !

    I hope Dillian gets Eddie a nice Christmas present because Eddie has given him a really great early gift.

    115-113 Franklin. Whyte didn't look good at all, very slow and lethargic, but we all know why they gave it to Whyte.

    Could be a blessing in disguise as we see Whyte in higher profile matchups so knocked out more

    Whyte was also horrible. He just has a big mouth. Talks a lot of trash and never backs it up. He is like a slightly better Derek Chisora.
