Way too stiff and robotic, no fluency or footwork it’s painful just let the hands go and he will obliterate him.

I also think Wilder would ruin him, too easy target.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Considering his weight, he hasn't tried to lean on him once. I have no idea what their game plan was coming in to this fight but boxing the way he currently is, a stone or more lighter would've made more sense.

 

[Mike_P]

Would be one of those fights, whoever landed first game over.

Yeah but AJ too scared to commit so it'll be a case of how soon AJ walks onto one.

Franklin isnt known as a big puncher is he? AJ needs to unload a few punches lol

There is that

I've always been behind AJ but this is awful. Has he even landed a nice jab yet?

He's landed a few to be fair just isnt following up

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

AJ's done at the highest level, the Ruiz loss ruined him sadly. Never been the same since and seems more worried about his opponents punches than his own.

Still expect him to win but even the commentators sound like they don't believe what they're saying tonight.

Hard to argue against that, based on his last few fights.

He should be jabbing his head off. This is awful from him.

I think its Usyk that did it personally. Much smaller fella absolutely ruined him twice and peppered him with shots. Ruiz got a lucky punch, Usyk was a beating.

Have you been watching the fight?
His jab is the only punch he's looked effective with.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Bbc seem to think AJ is in control of this fight. Not sure if I’m watching the same fight.

Well he is...but thats about it. He will win the fight if it carries on but it isnt convincing.

Had a few vodkas so may have missed some but none of them have done anything.

 

[Trusty]

Listening to Talksport this week, i was led to believe this would be mauling

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Franklin's backing up AJ, he's two stone lighter FFS. AJ should be walking him down, pushing him back up to the ropes and mauling him.

 

[The_One]

AJ has absolutely nothing he needs to jack it in he aint winning a belt ever again

two stone lighter, smaller and has a much smaller reach lol

This is a Michael Carrick level of boxing. Just sideways and backwards passing to play safe.
