Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs. Jermaine Franklin | DAZN - 1 April 2023

[Sweet Dick Willie]

AJ scared...

[cormack]

FFS rappin does my head in - cant understand a piggin word of it

[jameswilson]

Why is David not in the ring?

He wanted to travel to the four corners of the arena.

[skanksta]

here we go...

[gregregegg]

Wish they would spend the money they spend on those ringwalks on a better undercard.

[afcpaul]

Who’s this nugget rapping, totally killed the ring walk atmosphere.

Yep, utter sh*t

[Ruthless-RKO]

What’s Marcus McDonnells record like?

[jameswilson]

Wish they would spend the money they spend on those ringwalks on a better undercard.

George Groves had it written into the Wembley contract that they had to spend something obscene on the ring walks. I’m sure it was £100k.

That’s a British title fight at least isn’t it?


Bugger I’ve just seen it’s a British ref.

I’ve always rated McDonnell as a ref. One of the better British ones.

[ashall2]

Joshua’s guard and jab looking solid but isn’t showing much movement.

[skanksta]

AJ looks as good as ever, controlling with the jab from centre...

10-9 AJ

[ashall2]

Has AJ broke his nose?

[Neil Gee]

AJ jab bossed first, just about

[joshj909]

Franklin looks small and fast but the more limited boxer. Joshua looks powerful but reserved. You can see him trying some movement but doesn't look natural to him.

[ashall2]

Joshua’s nose is smashed up. Looks broken.

[skanksta]

AJ looks as tentative as ever and Frank nicks R2.

19-19

[Grilling Machine]

Franklin's looking like an ideal comeback opponent so far.

[gregregegg]

If AJs nose is busted, and he is heavy, then he does not want franklin hanging about....

AJ is breathing a bit and its low volume 2 rounds in...

[Ruthless-RKO]

AJ bloody already.

[Neil Gee]

AJ just looks like he's lost the appetite for destruction

[skanksta]

29-28 to somebody

[dan28uk]

29-28 to somebody

ive got aj 29-28 up

[Ruthless-RKO]

Franklin ain’t a bad comeback opponent is he?

He’s come to win.

As soon as he’s in trouble. I expect a British stoppage.

[Kilburn]

Joshua doesn’t exactly look thrilled to be in there, but is sharp and winning pretty clearly.

Franklin not remotely fazed though. Tough fella.

[KiwiRider]

Franklin's looking like an ideal comeback opponent so far.

True
I'm more entertained than I expected
