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.

He doesn’t have the confidence in himself at the minute to be fighting the way he used to. He’s changed his style up because he had too, not only that, he’s fighting better levels of fighters. He’s won this fight pretty comfortable and apart from seriously hurting or dropping Franklin, he’s shown some great skills tonight, the most impressive been his calmness and how relaxed he is in defence. He’s shown great footwork, a powerful stiff jab, and getting into positions to throw a better shot selection.

Joshua as always performed badly against smaller fighters, especially with fast hands. Been with a new coach too, been a good comeback performance, hopefully has another 1 or 2 of these to build his confidence up.

Franklin aint overpowered in offence.
Joshua a win on the cards by miles, but this aint a crowd pleaser. He has no titles. It's like he's learned how to box by reading instead of doing, the creative step in the mind just isnt there. He can't join sets up to force the win. its always chapters.

His change of style has ruined him for me.

He's shown against Usyk twice it's not going to get him the belts.

I didn't think his jab was as strong as it has been and he has stopped throwing combinations off of it.

Muted celebration from the crowd and his scowling face after declared the winner tells you he and everyone there knows it as well.
