    Neat, competent and fighting like a guy who believes he can win. A rarity.

    Competent is a good description of him. He is. Clearly know what he is doing in there and is doing it well.

    Joshua trying the old jab n grab. Pawing jab, fast slappy right hand, runs away, clinches. It's working.

    Everytime Franklin moves in, Joshua ties him up. Franklin simply must jab his way in.

    "Will these punches begin to have an effect" ponder the TV guys, out loud :Jest:

    He's got no intention of allowing any on-fighting. He's actually turned into Wlad. I really think he'd do this again and again if he thought he could.

    AJ fights scared. Being limited is one thing but he fights to not get knocked out.

    Literally grabbing and punching away for the last two rounds. Ugly as fuck to watch.

    He does now. He's happy to do it too. At least tonight.

    But he's winning clearly too.

    Franklin simply doesn't have the volume.

    UK comms now literally cheering AJ on as he lands some nice punches.

    Joshua wins handily enough. Looked exactly the same as he usual does. The American fought gamely and has skills but not enough to get the job done.

    Joshua acting like a fucking knob, again, after the final bell. Apparently Bellend getting involved as well.

    Scorecards looked about right to me. Franklin was always in the fight but Joshua c clearly accumulated rounds. Fucking UK comms gave Franklin one round.

    I enjoyed the commentary team screaming about how we'd all be waiting in the wings to say nasty shit about AJ....

    not a bad performance by AJ, but it proved that he's a finished product, no real improvement. Hard to see him as a threat to the elite of the division

    I thought he showed a couple new bits. A bit Beevol in how he touched his man up and didn't put 100% on every shot, slid off a few right hands, got out of the way and basically controlled things as much as he needed to.

    His right uppercut is still there. He did the hurting.

    Anybody else notice how snidey the comms were getting about how we weren't all buying the narrative? They were the ones pushing FOR a KO and when it didn't materialize it was suddenly something we'd all cash in on :Jest:

    I was enjoying the (albeit limited) contest of two styles and AJs "new" safety-first methodology.

    He never quite stopped going for the stoppage.

    Ramirez at -800 is crazy imo. I expect him to win but he hasn't looked too hot in his pro career, at least not enough to justify those odds
