Bellew has AJ up all four rounds and I'm scratching my head.

You have a brain, it's ok.

You have a brain, it's ok.

He's comfortably ahead but Franklin looked alright in a couple of the early rounds.

Can see Martin catching him with one he doesn't see.

"right boyo's, I know you're trying to chin one another, but please, please, calm down"

oh dear

 

[Rita_Poon]

Punch the neck!

 

[Efcjake]

Nothing in this convincing me AJ is still a top 3 heavyweight so far.

Nothing in this convincing me AJ is still a top 3 heavyweight so far.

He’s shown a lot of improvement in this fight in areas he’s shown weaknesses in previous fights. Not one for the casual fan base this but been a good performence from Joshua.

This commentator saying beautiful well timed shots to punches that aren’t even landing for Joshua hahaha

 

[Mozza1987]

Joshua is so frustrating to watch. Catches with one great punch and then stops. Let your hands go bit.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Don’t understand why people are surprised at the cautious approach.

Modern boxing, if you lose a fight you’re rubbish. Joshua has been told for weeks if he loses this fight he might as well retire. Pair that with a weight class where one lucky punch can finish you it’s hardly a shock he’s not going out all guns blazing.

He’s been harping on about ‘following the process’, I guess he simply means don’t get knocked out in this one, get the W and move on to the next one.
No where near as convincing as I thought he would be though.

 

[Rita_Poon]

There's no fluidity.

 

[Azza]

That uppercut lost a lot of power on the way through as it his Franklin's moob first.

fluidity. this right here.

Flashes of the old Joshua, but looks like a fighter who has forgot how to win.

Nah, for me he's lost everything that made him special.

He doesn't look anywhere near as threatening as he did 5 years ago.

This is a fight you'd expect him to win comfortably, and he has done.

He needed to put Franklin down early to get people talking about him seriously again and he's failed to do it again. He won't come out of this with much credit.

Disappointing this AJ. Pure crap, even.
