Aj has only been stopped once in a freak result easily avenged.
Lost twice on points to a p4p great.
So, now he gets knocked out by anyone and everyone?
And when has he gassed?
He flagged at the end of the 2 usyk fights, which cost him the second, but against a bit of a freak, stamina / work rate wise, in usyk , who wouldn't?
AJ wins rounds 6 to 8 for me.
I read yesterday that there was a lot of money going on Franklin even though AJ is the clear favourite.Lost twice on points to a p4p great.
So, now he gets knocked out by anyone and everyone?

I am convinced that AJ is going to try and blow him away as a statement win (lots of comparison to how Whyte got on)

Aj should win but I'm concerned he gets outhussled, even winning a dodgy decision would really hurt him. Lost twice on points to a p4p great.

If anything, since the ruiz loss he's been getting consistently better as a boxer.

What a shame, Duran says he was the hardest man he fought. That's some tributeg4ry13 said:
No-one who knows boxing seriously believes Franklin has a chance??
The guy is a bum and couldn't even take Whyte out.
I don't even think Franklin has a puncher's chance in this.
Did you actually watch that fight? He clearly got on the end of a dodgy decision for me he clearly won the fight. He's turned up to this looking far fitter and leaner. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose tonight. He's certainly no bum based on his last performance I thought he gave a good account and ran rings around Whyte. The guy is a bum and couldn't even take Whyte out.

Second Usyk fight was the best AJ I've ever seen...but he was significantly lighter and prepared for the pace. Its my only concern for tonight, hope the big man makes a statement
This is where my last post comes in…when he’s been big before he’s been absolutely shredded. This time there he’s heavy but doesn’t look like a body builder, perhaps he’s actually reduced some of that muscle mass and has the fuel to keep going at the weight.fridaypassion said:

Hmm I'm not so sure about that Whyte has been in some decent wars he has official gatekeeper status he's certainly still at the foot of what passes for elite fighters in the heavy division. I think we have a poor crop at the moment there's a lot more action in the lower weight divisions.
AJ certainly needs to turn up tonight I very much doubt he's talking this fight as lightly as some. He's apparently said if he loses he'll retire I can believe that too. I think if old raw angry AJ turns up he'll get the win. If he's trying yet more new tactics he's in very real danger. He just needs to mawl Franklin .

I wonder how DAZN would feel if he did retire!AJ certainly needs to turn up tonight I very much doubt he's talking this fight as lightly as some.

RIP Ken. I remember being so excited at staying up late to watch the Duran fight, then the disappointment of the way it finished.It was so sad to see him still fighting in unlicensed bouts when he ended up skint.
IMO Scotland's best ever fighter. Not many can say they topped the bill at MSG with Muhammad Ali on your undercard.

Another young man has died on an Ultra White Collar Boxing show. Very sad.Very sad.
We did the training for Ultra when they first came to the area and told them we would never do it again after seeing what a s
t show they run.
The pretence is that its a charity organisation raising money for Cancer Research UK but the reality is that its a very lucrative business that mis sells and is dangerous and after asking your family and friends to buy a ticket to watch h you you then also have to ask them to sponsor you as the ticket money has nothing to do with any charity.
How many people have been killed on Ultra events now? It's at least 4 I believe.
Fqing madness.
