Respect to Franklin. Iv never seen such a strong chin in my 15+ years of watching boxing. Them right hands he ate all night and never showed any effect. I’d be shocked if he didn’t get whiplash in his neck the amount it got snapped back in that fight. Big up AJ aswell he has always struggled against a shorter fighter because they don’t want to stay in his range and they always close the gap and clinch so it was always going to be tough.

People need to cut some slack, Franklins holding and survival tactics kind of ruined the spectacle that we all hoped for. Once AJ landed a few solid shots (especially the left hook to the body) Franklin just clinched more and more.

Yoh, That left hook to the body was insane. I was like holy shit, haven't seen a body shoot in the heavyweights like that in a long time. I was disappointed a little that he didn't go the to kill to be honest

[@tranch08]

Well said! I've seen the usual Matchroom haters blaming AJ for the clinching, idiots. I still have concerns because he's hesitant to throw in fear of getting countered but everything else looked good. His jab was money, the left to the head and body worked well but he needed to throw it more, his right also looked good but again he needs to throw it more! Still work to be done but it was a step in the right direction.

[@sean6977]

​@@K_j_M 😂😂😂😂 fury will destroy that clown. AJ was awful against Franklin and the only reason he tagged Franklin more was lack of movement and tiring out. You and others thinking AJ did what he had to do in that fight are crazies. Franklin is a tune up fight for most boxers and AJ couldn't get him out in 6 rounds. Hearns cash cow be running dry soon enough and he will be eyeing up Whyte fight before then the pu**y.

[@Hologhoul]

I echo the other comments, Charlie handled this so well, a lot of tact and empathy from such a young lad, great work. AJ's not my favourite but I feel a bit for him here. He's not the same fighter psychologically and you can see he knows it and it hurts him. Four consecutive fights now where he's been reticent to go for it with full power and combinations.

[@markjones5843]

Don't beat yourself up man, look at the positives, you didn't lose, improved performance, the fans love you and you love the fans. Tyson fury will be thinking bring it on. Will be one of the biggest fights ever to happen in the UK if it gets made this year. All the critic's will be saying you can't win and if you win it will be your greatest achievement. Hope it happens and the best man on the day wins

[@Eat-MyGoal]

Beat himself up? Oh he'd try but ultimately would settle on jabbing himself to a decision win...

Joshua wants the Fury fight because he wants a big final payday. He knows he's no threat to Fury.

[@reidfmorthel5597]

Anthony Joshua is a really bright young man. I've been watching him since the Dillon White fight. I think Franklin fought an inspired fight, but from the outside looking in, Joshua seems to have changed. It looks to me like he's a little disinterested and distant from the confidence and vigor he had in boxing, from the first time I saw him. Maybe it's just me, but whatever the case I'm a huge fan and I wish him well. I hope he gets Fury next, and he wins. I like Fury too, but I'm a bigger Joshua fan. I'd like to see him fight Wilder too. Either fight will be huge.

[@lilbaigs5003]

The problem we are seeing is everyone is ignoring how good Frabklin is & how much he has improved Everyones concentrating on AJs performance, his pros & cons of the fight but are failing to give Franklin his respect & considering the fact that he also improved .. he prepared really well for this fight ... he came in fitter than ever ... great stamina...has a great chin...very durable .. him beating AJ would have catapulted his profile ... so he certaining wasnt going to do himself dirty by underpreparing ... AJ fought the best version of Franklin AJ coming off them 2 losses to Usyk certainly wasnt going to take any wreckless risks ... just to get the KO.... cos a loss to Franklin would have devastated his career ... so he had to box clever & pick his moments .. Frankin just hugged & clinched AJ anytime AJ was getting some momentum .... very clever tactic by Franklin Lets give Franklin his respect👏🏼

[@puzzlemagnet1957]

AJ's recent performances in the ring have shown hesitancy and conservatism, which may stem from the deep hurt he suffered from defeats by Ruiz and Usyk. Subconsciously, he may fear being knocked down or facing another defeat. While his latest fight was solid, it lacked the boldness and aggression of his previous bouts. However, one positive takeaway from the fight was his resilience and strong chin, as he absorbed several powerful shots without showing any visible effects. Nonetheless, as he ages, it's important to remember that his glory days may have come and gone, a realization that is ironic given his past match against Klitch. Time flies by quickly, and AJ must now find a way to rebuild his confidence and adapt to the changes that come with age.

[@Chris-cv6wy]

He could come back, better than before. He hasn't taken too big big shots in his career, he's an intelligent, fast fighter. Just needs to get his confidence. Stamina and chin have always been his weakness; stamina seemed a lot better in his last bout

AJ needs to stop caring what people think and believe and be proud of who he is.

F what people think and stop being to critical of yourself. No one is perfect and everybody likes to judge n put down everyone else apart from themselves. When more time thier own selves are the biggest mess and probably lost in life so they like to see others lose. F the haters,! F the ego. Do you n be grateful.

Very well said but the only thing you said that i wouldn't like to see that is A fury fight not because of the actual fight but because all the nonsense that's involved with negotiations It's bad enough for us fans to go through so God knows what AJ feels especially when time is running out So I agree 2 good fights and I would leave it there win or lose and those fights are Joe Joyce and Dionte Wilder But I would prefer Wilder 1st and then Joe Joyce because believe it or not I think Joe Joyce will be a harder fight Because if aj is not on his game Joe Joyce will still keep coming and walk through him, With Wilder it's just whether he can get that lucky right hand onto Joshua's chin
