🐓 TERRIFIED Anthony Joshua OUTPOINTS Jermaine Franklin 🐓

[@benlowe578]

Early in the fight Joshua clinched. Later in the fight after Franklin got hurt; He was instigating the clinching.

[@brando3342]

“Terrified” is a little clickbait-ish I think. “Gun-shy” would be a better term for Joshua’s demeanour.

[@piperlong544]

It would be "unbecoming" of a Calvin Klein UNDERWEAR MODEL like A.J. to want to INJURE a guy like Franklin. Better to jab and grab, get some "emotional support" hugs from Franklin. No need for any MICRO AGGRESSIONS or TOXIC MASCULINITY.

This is best post fight analysis I’ve heard/seen. Other pundits been talking shite for the last 24 hrs.

[@joestunnerboxing]

Joshua's confidence seems very low, but I don't hold with the idea that feeding him cream puffs will instantly rebuild it. Soft touches would either give him a false sense of security or, if he recognises he's not being given half-decent challenges, diminish his confidence further. He needs to accept the mistakes and failures of the past, learn from them, recognise the positive elements (e.g. going 24 rounds with Usyk isn't something to be ashamed of), and build on current realities.

[@mrt445]

The cream puffs show us exactly how good he is right now and his most recent fight shows us that he's not ready for Wilder, Fury even Joyce. AJ's team need to tell him that he has to risk getting Ko'd to beat anyone in the top 10.

[@murcielago-vikingo]

AJ needs to gain his confidence back but people set a very high bar expect fire works without any idea how a boxer feels deep inside. At least he didn’t cowar behind mental health issues and call himself the best without fighting the best like the Gypsy Queen. I respect him for keep on trying and being competitve based on his given attributes.

Joshua needs: 1. Psychologist 2. Throw more punches and in combinations 3. Throw punches through the target and NOT at the target 4. Fight at least 4 times a year

[@Thermolizer]

Joshua has seen psychologists and even a combat veteran to improve his mindset. If anything it has made him begin to overthink things and be in his head too much. I think he just needs a hype man that simply gets him pumped up and feeling self assured. He already has the killer in him, we saw it earlier in his career when he was knocking everyone out with vicious punches

Gerald Washington is exactly what Joshua doesn't need right now. Franklin was the perfect fight for AJ he's letting him know where he's at in his development under this new trainer, and so far, so good. The last thing he needs is a knock over job who'll lull him into a false sense of security. Franklin is being underrated. This reminds me of Fury's fight with Otto Wallin. Good opposition thats criminally underrated.

[@hc6417]

AJ did fine, people blowing it out of proportion. Fury looked like crap against Wallin and went on to smash Wilder to bits. Give AJ Joyce next, more time with DJ and you'll see the improvements.

[@streetlevels]

This is a sound review and spot on. I genuinely want to see AJ go on to be amongst the legends in the sport, as I am a fan of his, but can also see where he is mentally not where he needs to be as a fighter. Proper match making moving forward will determine if he stays in the sport and realises what we all know he is capable of. Derrick James seems like a great fit for him. He did go in with Franklin with his training wheels on which we could all see, and hopefully Eddie and the team take this on board when they select the next 3 opponents. If we see an Usyk rematch or Fury, as one of the next few fights we know they don't give a damn about him. Time will tell.

[@PunchCraftCorner]

For me; AJ not going for knock out is a blessings in disguise; he would have learned nothing. He has had problems with short opponent, but you guys just hate this man unnecessarily; stop pressuring this man, let him be. He is undergoing a rebuild and this is the right direction, Franklin would go 12 round with Usyk because he is a tough dude. Yesterday was just experimenting.

[@andrewjack31]

Joshua is clearly a very talented boxer. When he "plays it safe" he usually comfortably wins whoever he is fighting with the exception of Usyk who is exceptional and probably the best boxer of his generation. No shame in losing to Usyk. No shame in losing to Andy Ruiz who is a brawler. Big props to AJ for outsmarting him in the rematch. Instead of trying to bring him down, let's show him some respect for being one of the best boxers these isles have produced and enjoy his work whilst he is still around. He might not be "the best" but he is damn good. We can't always expect to have the best in life, but damn good is better than most have to settle for.

Spot on. Can't argue with anything you've said here.

[@joshormerod5382]

One thing that goes hand in hand in terms of rebuilding confidence is activity. If AJ is sat for the best part of the year awaiting a fight, he's going to be left in a perpetual state of contemplation with his racing thoughts. I think this will make him doubt himself further. If he's fighting knock overs then he should easily be squeezing in 3-4 fights this year. 3 minimum for me. Activity is practical, in ring experience. That's going to be the root of confidence, more so than the choice trainer in my opinion.

The body shots hurt Franklin some guys are tough to the head but not to the body, Franklin is one of those guys. Another thing I will agree with you on, this was poor matchmaking by Eddie.

[@TrashBoxer284]

Wilder had the perfect comeback opponent in Helenius. Helenius is a tall puncher with questionable defense. He can move, but tends to fade after a few rounds. Both guys packs a punch and Wilder was always likely to land it first. A mover would have been horrible for him. AJ should probably have taken on, like you say, a Washington or maybe Jerry Forrest. Yes, Forrest can move, but it's mostly upper body movements, he would have gotten KO'd.

[@SomethingThatSCREAMS]

I totally agree 100%. But I'm a little exhausted with AJ's lack of confidence. I've been saying it for years, others have said it for years. It's obvious he has never fully believed in himself. The fact is, without confidence, AJ has no shot with any of the really dangerous guys. So it makes watching his career kind of boring. He is considered a top guy, but it's smoke and mirrors. He isn't a great fighter, and he never will be.

Fury gets celebrated when he makes a points win. 1 in 3 fights are points wins with fury. Joshua did not lose one single round in a 12 round fight and Joshua did not unload once on him. He wants that one last shot at the title and would not risk even 0.5% chance on losing that opportunity just to knock Franklin out. If he gets the title shot he will finally have all to gain and nothing to lose for the first time in ten years and of course, he will unload everything he has in that final moment for glory. Next fight if fury takes it will be facing an Anthony Joshua with absolutely nothing to lose and fury will have it all to lose. This adds a really good dynamic to the fight and yes, I beleiev Joshua can beat fury even after that performance in a 50-50 fight for the wbc. Joshua does not fare well with smaller men. His track record for bigger more established heavyweights is impeccable but he doesn’t do well with low ranking, smaller men with no profiles as with all three losses. Smaller men. Little to no hw profile at time of bout.
