One of the main criticisms about AJ is his stamina , and this fight with the weight came in at he did well . It's not always about the KO.
@@kevindosanjh8953 Those are not your words you are just repeating what Dave Coldwell said lmao 😂
@@kevindosanjh8953 You are a fool !!
@@kevindosanjh8953 Rant on you have no idea what you are talking about 🤔
@@kevindosanjh8953 People that have never heard of Franklin are not true boxing fans , like many had never heard of Andy Ruiz , give me a break.
I agree he demonstrated a great engine but you would think with all that muscle mass he would display a little aggression. Im not worried that he never got a KO the worrying thing is at no time did he look willing to engage , he looked like a deer caught in the headlights out there. Ruiz and Usyk done a number on his psyche
People need to stop the criticism he won all the rounds and never tired
"I can't live in other people's expectations"..."I can't put myself under that pressure"...Although I'm disappointed deep down I didn't get the knockout, "what's wrong with me going 12 rounds?" PERFECT answers and mindset, as well as good life's lessons. People expect too much from other people, not caring about what those people are going through on the inside. That is what it means to be selfish. We all need to learn to appreciate the little people do to make progress in life and to achieve their dreams. The story would be different if AJ lost. So, I'd rather be happy for the win than blast him for not putting up a fiery performance which one part of me wanted.
💯 the same people who want a knockout are the same people who would crucify Joshua if he lost by being as aggressive as they wanted him to be.
@David Ofili. Preach brother preach!😎
@@Eddybo22 this world is absolutely crazy like that. Absolute crazy..sheesh😬
His face is so clean ...it doesn't even look like he was in a fight
Yeah it was a dominant win. I think he got clip like 4 times by nice right hands. I think he needs 2 fight more to get confidence back( I feel like he was gaining more and more confidence by the end of the fight). I was surprised by franklin chin
That's because he fought a chump
he wasnt he hardly threw a punch just he nose bleed most of the match lol
Yeah exactly, because it was shit
Because it was a hugging contest
Derrick James coaching showed a lot of improvements. Fans want a knock out. Anyone can punch. Especially heavyweights. But we had to see if this guy could ever improve and adapt against the best heavyweights. He needs go stay in Texas and learn from Derrick and their team. He looked good. Cardio at his heaviest, footwork, head movement, counter jab in his arsenal. I love AJs guard. His damn arms are so big it covers his whole front. Joshua needs a few more fights. Vs fury is too soon. Against Wilder he might be OK but he has to move that head more. Parker, Whyte. That's good money for AJ and confidence built. Try Usyk again for the 3rd time lol I'm convinced Derrick James is a HOF coach.
Your analysis has been spot on! This fight is just about going back-to-basics for AJ and nothing more! A lot people on this platform seem to have missed this point with most saying that AJ is finished.
New coach don’t mean shit he could have beat this guy with Robert Garcia aswell when he faces usyk wilder or fury he will lose again trust me
DJ is a offensive Coach Aj will be fun 2 watch in his next few fights mark my words i been doing this along time trust me🥊🥊
He is a stiff robot - if people were honest AJ would be extremely lucky to beat anybody in the top 5 - Franklin wasn’t rated in THE TOP 15 OF ANY OF THE BOXING AUTHORITIES!!
Interesting analysis. However, it presents AJ as a prospect. He's an established fighter whose technique is improving but who has lost aggression and finishing instinct. He looks tentative and doesn't use his size as weapon to lean, push and bully opponents. Fury, Wilder and even Joyce will present him with far greater threats than Franklin. The AJ we've seen post Ruiz hasn't been the same as the one who was dominating the division. That's about mindset. Eddie Hearn has been honest in his assessments and says that opponents think they have a chance because of AJ's more cautious fighting style. Unless James can bring out the warrior, no amount of technical improvement is going to put Johsua amongst the heavyweight elite.
PRESSURE IN BOXING FOR ALL FIGHTERS IS NO JOKE..YOUR ON YOUR OWN 💯💥🥊
there's pressure in all elite sports.
Franklin worked full time in a factory 12 hour shifts before the Whyte fight so he has been pro 7 months 😂, like AJ but if I ever hear he is still learning after that fight feck me lol
He is still a pro fighter, who has never be stopped, and went 12 rounds with Dillan Whyte. Some of you just hate AJ regardless of what he does anyway... so it's a moot point.
@@JamaicanVillan maybe because everyone sees he is overhyped and not as good as you think he is
@@adamedwards4839 How have you decided how good I " think he is " lol. Regardless, he has beaten several champions over the span of his career, this was by no means a good performance and he hasn't been the same since Ruiz. Doesn't mean i'm a dickhead who is going to shit on a dude who has worked hard day and night to voluntarily go into a ring and get punched. All you internet Champions are hilarious.
You dirty casual- he’s had best resume since 16th fight ducked none- over hyped or not/ he’s done his part, unlike Tyson who she barely any mandatories fought/ 6 title fight, 3 against same person- and has taken peds. Dirty chav
@@adamedwards4839 he’s still achieved more then any other heavyweight - since 16th fight back to back no politics- deluded casual
After those defeats AJs mindset has changed. He now has a fear of getting knocked out against any decent opponent he faces. That’s the reason we see him subdued and below par. This time his gas tank was better though. Tbh the killer instinct is seemingly lacking.
His gas tank was better bc it was a slow pace fight.
I think he will overcome his fears and get better after two more fights
Whyte has killer instinct, he got hit 165 times by Jermaine lol, AJ absorbed 58 punches.
Exactly he doesnt take risks no more. Going 12 rounds he's gonna end up losing on points
@@beamgroup7464simply because they both exchanged a lot. Whyte had no fear to trade punching. aj was defensive
I think most people have very high expectations of Joshua without considering the fact that he is fighting elite hungry fighters…. They want him to replicate the blistering aggression with which he won most of his early fights without considering the fact that he was competing against much lesser fighters in pedigree.
Franklin is an elite boxer? Man, if that’s the case, boxing really is in the mud 😂
@@amdai4568 alot rate dillan whyte.. and he struggled against frankilin
@@keithlittle293 Who within the boxing world rates Whyte as an elite boxer? He’s a decent heavyweight but what has he done to be classed as elite? I think some people need to pick up a dictionary to go through some definitions of certain words…
Franklin was working in a insulation factory 12 months ago
@@amdai4568 I agree with you in principle, by the same token... it's all relative, brother. Based on record and resume a case of Whyte can be made within his respective division. Not throughout all of boxing, but within his division he's certainly a top 10 guy.
Iv been hard on joshua in the past but this time I think iv realised he's just still growing / finding himself as a person as well as a boxer ... he always preaches humble in the past and not displayed it but this time I think we saw it
In all honesty I didn’t think aj did too bad. And I’m not even his biggest fan. He’s coming off the back of two losses, was in control all the way through, got some good shots in…admittedly not enough, and never once gassed. He’s obviously conscious about getting knocked out, and needs to get the aggression back, but that is the whole point of this fight
jesus 🤣🤣he was gassed after 5 round and was a total embarassment haha
@@fpvDRE shut up, troll.
i agree
Finally somebody who gets it. Respect bro
Easy to see that boxing has missed AJ. No heavyweights in recent times has been so available, accessible and opens himself easily to scrutiny. We just hope he takes mores fights from now and don't spend any time chasing after Fury, Wilder like those wasted years of the past. AJ is the true face of this era and will be remembered for it when he retires.
The guy is a chump and you're a clown for thinking any different.
Il take it ur an up and coming comedian, or have idea of boxing.Twat
I think he will be remembered for his losses mainly, he's certainly not one of the greats.
I think most of us think he could have pushed a bit more.. I agree too. But Franklin is a good fighter and he was made to look average. Good to see AJ back.
A lot of people here have no clue about how boxing and boxers operate. This was a great performance by AJ. He show great composure, intelligence, patience, aggression without rushing in, and amazing stamina. Well done AJ
YOU have no clue about boxing. It was a shyte performance. No head movement, no footwork, no combinations, no variation in attacks, no change in speed throughout. He just shuffled around for 12 rounds with a doorman. You obviously haven't got a clue son.
AJ himself wasn’t happy with his performance, he wanted the knockout and is gutted he couldn’t get it done. If people are deflated after seeing this fight it’s nothing AJ isn’t feeling himself
@@davidholgate123 I'm saying most of the 'professionals' who have done interviews are not allowed to say what they really think, because they have to play the media game. Especially Froch who is employed as a commentator. They are not allowed to criticise, or they don't get work. If you can't see that then you have even LESS idea about 'how boxing works' than I initially though. Watch Dave Coldwell's interview, he was honest, and is a great trainer, not some ex-fighter who is now a fully paid up a media darling. By spouting other people's opinions, just because they fit with your fangirl worship of AJ you have shown us all you don't have a fcking clue yourself, you're just repeating what the paid up media muppets have said. Try actually boxing yourself for a few years like myself and others, and then you will see the truth.
Are you serious?
Bro this weren't a great performance it wasn't even a good performance
Aj had good cardio- he is still not aggressive enough.
Good to see you grow AJ. Class act mate 👊🏻
All the people saying he fights scared who’ve never had a fight in their lives. Respect the guy who wants to fight & not protect his 0
He lost is 0 to the Body snatcher
Some hardcore Fury fans will admit he lost to McDermott and deep down Fury knows he did
Hes fighting timidly, you dont have to be a professional fighter to see it. He been K.O'd that plays apart on how you perform. He use to only worry out running out of gas, now he has to worry about getting rocked and gassed out.
@@JohnDoe-ms9zj AJ needs psychological theraphy . He's been strugling since his loss to Ruiz!
@@JohnDoe-ms9zj people should still speak with more respect, these men are risking their brain cells and memories with their own children/grandchildren
He sounds very genuine and down to earth now i like him like this, I wish him the best i actually thought Franklin might beat him but he's still good enough to complete at top level i hope he gets either the Fury or Wilder fights i think both will beat him and end his career but he's got a good record and better record of opponents than either of them 2 have AJ has never ducked hard challenges i respect him for that
Derrick James has done a marvelous job. Joshua had his hands up, saw him thinking, controlling the opponent's head and the distance, taking small steps back, to the side. Joshua is a sponge. He only has about 60 fights total, amateur and pro combined.
Same for Jermaine Franklin. 35 amateur fights and 23 pro. He won a golden gloves in those 35 amateur fights too!
You think he performed well today?
@@justinpennington7682 AJ lost that killer instinct ever since his lost to Ruiz. And he panics everytime he gets touched. The old Joshua would've wrecked this new Joshua. I believe he's just doing it for the money now. He won, but he still looks like he's not all in there.
@@naturoidz2714 even though they are HW their are still levels and Joshua is far behind wilder, fury, Usyk and Joe Joyce and that's just a few to name. I guarantee hearn will try to make the Whyte fight to bank as much money as possible until his cash cow gets wrecked soon enough. Joshua looked no different to any other fight, still and robotic as usual. He is only 33 and he is almost getting retired by the best lol that's how bad he really is, his size and power got him far but being bums is easy but not the elite fighter that take his punches.
@@naturoidz2714 well said , the Joshua that fought, Andy, dillian, Klitschko, parker , povetikin , etc is not the Joshua we see now in the ring , but all in all he made a win it's all we needed
He's very honest and forthright. At the end of the day, it's not easy. It's the opposite. It's difficult.
He talks so much shit, he's totally done
Very true
I was very impressed with Joshua’s cardio in this fight,when he came in at a career heaviest I really thought that if Franklin wasn’t Knocked out by round 8 that Joshua’s gas tank would fail him again and he’d be knocked out, but fare play he wasn’t even breathing that heavy
Not much happened during the entire fight except a few jabs and clinching. Doesn't say much about his stamina
@@edntz agreed. Usyks pace was what gassed out joshu. If he goes up against another stiff slow paced heavyweight he won’t gas.
I agree I thought his stamina would fade rapidly after 8 but it didn't, he's fit even at that weight
Think it speaks more to franklin being a lot better then what everyone thought.he was doing little clever things...if it was the old AJ he may have wrote him off
Fair comment but he lost‼️
You done well my G 👊🏼
Great comeback AJ, Well done.💪🏿
lol
Great Comeback! LOL Alternate reality must be true.
Boxing fans would see the improvement in defence - a lot of effective blocking and little movements controlling the head, another camp in Texas and it’s only onwards and upwards
I don’t blame AJ for saying he didn’t personally find a good opportunity for a KO, Franklin wasn’t letting him get that opportunity, taking so many solid hits yet he just kept pressing forward, always clinching to survive/catch a breather. Respect to Jermaine for making it through all 12 rounds against the ex-champ, guy didn’t even get wobbled by those head snapping shots, even got a couple decent shots in himself. I agree though AJ could have been much more aggressive without much additional risk, would have made it more entertaining but he played it safe/smart to guarantee the win 💪
Congrats on the win AJ
The Joshua who faced Klitchschko will always be the lion we crave to see
Klitschko was 42 and he finished career before that fight
That's the past he's never gonna be there ever again.
That was years ago and Klitchko was past 40, even then Klitchko dominated Joshua's ass, and he was nearly knocked out!!.To me Joshua was never an elite class Heavyweight like the great Lennox Lewis.!
All fair comments just think he doesn't have that same desire and hunger he showed early on
Solid comeback fight. Congrats.
Joker what was you watching 😂

@@Bacon4Rashers the clincher, could help but keep on clinching.
Congratulations to both men. AJ faced an enormous amount of pressure, which is difficult to comprehend unless you've been in a similar situation. Meanwhile, Franklin had everything to gain and nothing to lose. Boxing is a sport that's vastly different from what it may appear to be from outside the ring. Respect to both men! 🥊
I told you, this is exactly what i saw in my dream, winning ,winning ,winning. congratulation my guy
Nice to see AJ back but boy Franklin is a solid customer he aint no joke he gave two top fighters their run for their money he Will be a Hard job for any top ranking heavy weights today
Definitely mate he is a hard nights work for any 1 I think aj boxed well and won must rounds and did the right thing not going all in for the KO because Franklin is a hard man to KO
Yes think AJ should of come lighter like he did in the 2nd fight with Ruiz specially with smaller guys when he comes heavy his performance ain't that good but he got the job done but with big taller guys iv noticed he fights way better
@@kaza8742 definitely mate I think fury is made for aj not so much wilder tho and yeah takam parker usyk Ruiz all small men
Yes but they all should fight each other no matter Who Wins or lose coz in boxing it takes one punch
@@kaza8742 that's never going to happen because u get awkward people like fury who liked to pick his fights
I would advise him to stay the hell away from Fury. Fight Dillian next and then Wilder.
Wilder is the hard fight Fury is the perfect fight 1 more tune up 2 get comfortable with his new trainer than shoot for the big 1🥊🥊
Fury Wilder and Joyce beat him.
But usyk and fury didn’t have the same hickups and figuring out what to do or how to change? 🤷♂️
You did it bro! Back in the game once again! LIONS IN THE CAMP
Yeah, his cardio was better, and yes, he could have let his hands go a bit more, still seems wary about getting tagged. But his jab looked crisp, just needs to put the combo's together. Against a better opponent, still think his mindset gets to him, and he needs to do more than just enough.
So happy for AJ for his win. He can build on this, have a couple of more fights, and then go for the belts again.
Really, he was poor!
Poor but still won almost all the rounds,points or ko isn't really that important
@@callxdr a win is a win, he is rebuilding his confidence.
Not his best performance that's for sure. I think he knew it too judging from his immediate interview post fight
He will never win another belt.
AJ u done well thanks for a good show x
Delusional 😂
Congratulations my gee
From what I saw in the highlights AJ was better with his accuracy and cardio he looked comfortable through every round. Yeah no knockout but winning every round is great as well coming of 2 losses
I like this boxer. I wish AJ to be stronger and keep going, never look back, he will improve and will come back as Absolute Heavy Weight Champion I believe in him
Where is the stupid mic for the media? At this level and no media mic is ridiculous.
I have not seen any post fight interview of Jermaine Franklin.
I respect AJ he's taken on every tough fight & it's not his fault the Wilder & Fury fights didn't get made. Sadly I wish I could say the same about Fury. Six title fights and three of them were against Wilder, that's pathetic.
Man! People just want to see AJ kill someone relax this is boxing respect! 💪
People want to see him actually box. Not shuffle round the ring with a doorman for 12 rounds, no head movement, no footwork, no combinations, no variation, no idea.
@@DjNikGnashers You last 1 sec with him 😅
@@Thetruth1__ Maybe so, but I am not a professional heavyweight boxer. Neither are you. Does that mean I am not allowed an opinion ? Grow up you childish muppet.
FWIW I boxed and trained in Wing Chun for many years, so I probably have a lot more experience than you son, and a lot more knowledge to give an opinion based on experience of the sport.
@@DjNikGnashers You don't know nothing about boxing 😂
Congrats to AJ. Better cardio. Hopefully, he moves his feet and head more. He should take at least two more good fights before Fury.
Love AJ but he ain’t the same no more , every boxer has pressure, that’s the job , as much as that was a win it was a pretty poor win, no fire no passion, but let’s hope this is the start of a great comeback
Say someone that haven’t put up a boxing glove 😅
@@bobbyyoung7656 come back when you can type a comment that makes sense, grow up Bobby you would get your head boxed in
Good job AJ
Good job Franklin Boi came along way🥊
Thought Aj was tight and needs to be more fluid. Needs to throw more double jabs leading up to big rights. More combo's and more lateral movement, Aj gets hit a lot as he moves in straight lines. Definitely lacks a little more aggression which I think will come now he's off the mark again. Thought was hard fight as ref shit and franklin a dirty fighter kept bowling in wasn't warned once. Congrats Aj 👏
New Dawn? New Yawn unfortunately, but something for AJ to build on. Job done though, Whyte rematch next would be perfect, but if Usyk defends against Wilder next, then AJ and Dubois wouldn’t be a bad idea I think. In fairness, I think if AJ had got Franklin out of there early, people would criticise saying Franklin was just a bum (he ain’t), and if he wins on points, it shows he’s not ‘back’. He was always going to be damned if he does, damned if he don’t really!
i love your preparation for this fight going away to Texas. keep it up bro. It is all about intense training. Goodluck our HERO.
I said that AJ should have a year with Derrick James before even considering getting back in the ring! Hopefully his next fight will be at least 8 months from now! You can see some of the things DJ is teaching him but a full year of learning you would have seen a lot more of a difference! AJ still has no head movement and he needs to learn what punches to throw and when to throw them! 2 things DJ can't fix are AJ'S chin and his heart because I truly believe that Andy Ruiz took AJs heart and confidence in the first fight and he's never been the same since! AJ needs about 3 to 4 more fights before he even considers getting in the ring with Wilder or Fury or Usyk!
I saw the defense improvement
In boxing it's better to be comfortable than uncomfortable. AJ although no knockout, cruised the fight and did well. Definitely needs more in ring activity and gain some momentum, as he's the type of fighter that needs that. Big up AJ and real cool how he took that extra question at the end.
Absolutely love AJ wishing him all the success in the world🙏
Pressure cooker is where these athletes live in. High risk and high reward. So many of us don't have a clue the highs and lows at this level.
I must of seen a different fight A.J was slow mechanical did not show any aggression looked like he did not want to be there but wins a win congrats AJ
100% agree. Felt like he just played it in a way where all he wanted was the win. Still think he's a fight / win away from the Fury fight to make it a good fight for the fans. AJ fights Fury like that he loses but I imagine he steps his game up for that
I think AJ's challenge is in maintaining the standard of knockout. He is under pressure of keeping the standard he has kept, and coming from 2 consecutive losses, he needs time and I guess he is working his way up to keeping the standard. AJ I wish you the best. He needs one more fight to fight for the belt
He's only knocked out 1 40 year old in nearly 6 years
Joshua still showing fear and is not still not mentally ruthless or menacing, he needs to work/focus on his mentality & mindset as much if not more than his physical.
AJ is tougher and Much Healthier Now..🥊💯🙏🏾
I do some good changes jab and defense. He’s just a lil to tight and defensive. He need to be more loose and remind everyone he’s the big man in the ring.He kinda fight like he don’t wanna take a big hit. I’m still a fan but at times fight aggressively smart. The jab looks amazing.
Love this version of AJ. Keeping it real and matured.
🤣🤣🤣🤣mature haha
@@fpvDRE ha-ha mature yes, grow up fool
Great interview as always big up aj on too the next 1 sir 🙌🙌
I wish he fight Whyte in July and Wilder/Fury in December.
Dillion is dangerous. It would be a solid victory for AJ if he gets past him. In their previous encounter, Whyte landed some heavy blows on a better version of this AJ.
People are so harsh on aj for no reason he gets so much critisism with every fight
People are jealous of AJ
@@jwilks9402 oh yeahh everyday I dream of being a bumbalcart.
@@-coolant4883 there’s definitely a jealousy element. Across multiple fronts, financial being a major one.

That's because we compare him with truly great fighters.
expirience is starting to become wisdom...that eternal process.
OHHHHHHHHHH ANTHONY JOSHUA!!!!!!
Cant really argue with any of that, Carl. I agree that since the ruiz fight hes just not been the same, he appears to be "gun shy" as if hes worried of letting more than a couple of shots at a time go because of whats coming back, i dont think he believes in his ability to take a punch anymore and more importantly recover from taking a punch. You could see some improvements from working with james, seemed to be moving on his feet better - started off with a nice ramrod like jab that stopped happening after 2-3 rounds, james was asking for body shots that never really got let go - was also asking for AJ to throw his right hand through franklins jab which he did do a few times but again sort of stopped doing. He seems more frustrated with himself the past couple of fights, blowing his top at the end of the fights.. id like him to just get biting down on the gumshield and letting his hands go, fight a bit dirty - use his size and weight and get his head in there on the opponents chest, use his arms/elbows to rough it up and create openings to let his hands go. I dont think people are giving Franklin enough credit either though, hes a decent operator - fast hands, a bit durable and a bit of a cat knows his to survive and fires back when he gets caught etc, he cant be THAT bad hes been the distance now with both whyte and aj and they can both punch at the end of the day.
Man sounds relieved like a weight off his shoulders. Good on him
I know everyone if going insane hating on the guy, but for a boxer who received more hate than any other boxer probably in history, fighting with his entire career on the line, this is a step in the right direction. He didn't knock out Franklin, sure, but he won easily. He was in control by a mile throughout and he wasn't hurt or gassed out at all. Good enough for a first step on the comeback road, but he'll have to do a whole lot more to stand a real chance against Fury, Wilder, or Joyce. No doubt.
Well done AJ, good man.
You know what, it interesting to know that, no matter how elite you are your always a student. Always trying to learn. i think this fight was big test for him. I think he will look at this fight and take a lot from it. Cardio, feet movement, head movement, lack of punches etc. but I do also think there’s a bit of fear there. I think he will even notice the “fear” thru this fight. Big test this fight, for future him.
Why criticize? The fight is won, I found him quite professional, he started to take sensations towards round 7, the pressure is a little gone. But it's complicated, you can knock out all the bad boxer at the beginning of his career after it gets complicated, Franklin is a good boxer with nice combination (nobody blames him for losing but Joshua is blamed for winning badly... I'd love to see you in the ring)
Ppl criticizing boxing who’ll never have the nuts to step inna ring😂😂
Top man.
Great fight let's give them both credit well done guys
AJ you fight smart and you fight well. Much respect to you and Derrick James. You showed stamina and a good game plan. You train fof a knockout but not every fight can go that way. Repping AJ for life🙏👍💯💯
those 12 rounds in the bank will be more beneficial for AJ than an early knockout .
AJ needs to watch his fights before he got beaten by Ruiz. He needs to watch how he was in the ring. Now in his fights he's very cautious about letting his hands go in case he gets clipped. He needs to get that confidence and self belief back.
Yeah im sure he hasnt thought of that dave 🥊
What's wrong with AJ hand ???
He's thinking...it's not second nature yet. He was looking in the corner for instructions during clinches. So, he's not instinctively doing things. He looked great. He looked like he knew how to box. Trust me, I'm in Texas and once A.J. gets the style down, D.J. will up his workrate, and his body work. You notice A.J. didn't go to body at all? That's was to keep things simple. They were literally working on his game during the fight...and he still looked good.
Congratulations AJ and welcome back to the winning team.
Indeed team AJ
@@lucycope7047 He lost the belt with judges decision and haters like you celebrated it and Now he started winning with judges decision and you haters are angry why he did not win with knock out.
A very intelligent and likable guy.
Nope.
All the hope was on AJ to make the main event entertaining and it fizzled out badly. After that weak undercard I can see why there was so many empty seats by the final bell.
OUCH!! I just been Counterpunched 🥊🔥🥊🏴
Real talk aj
Personally, If i was AJ, id be thinking about retiring
Great boxing from AJ, totally dominated Franklin. It was hard for AJ to land big shots with Franklin hugging so much. Having a longer fight is good for AJ, allows him to see how everything is with the new trainer, his conditioning looked much better as well. He looked good, totally owned Franklin. This was the best version of Franklin as well, he would trouble the majority of the top 10 fighters out there in the HW division. Haters gonna hate though. No matter what AJ does haters will hate. When people fight AJ they try harder than ever compared to fighting others. Who knows, AJ maybe even made himself look worse than he is, so Fury would want to fight him.
AJ U proved 2Urself and 2Ur fans that U can take the challenge to fight and win. Next time U see Jermaine in the boxing ring of course let’s see a TKO 🥊
FRANKLIN IS A SOLID ROCK. KUDOS AJ, YOU ARE A BETTER BOXER NOW. KNOCK OUT IS NOT THE ULTIMATE BRO.
So now AJ can handle fast opponents lower than his high well. Fury or Wilder are at far with his hight should be handled differently. Congrats AJ and more wins coming your way.
Nice figth n big win for AJ 💯
Don’t even mention Mike Tyson !!!! 🤣
Yes AJ congratulations Allhamdullilah gorgeous your win. Ignore the haters..

Amazing AJ
I like Anthony Joshua under Derrick James now! He’s very disciplined and focused! Just everything about him is different now! Much respect!
I think AJ credit to him..should be more honest and say he’s not ready for the Tyson Fury fight, he needs to follow his trainers game plan and develope himself more before he’s officially ready for any top fighters
If Aj knocked him out in the first round people be still complaining
You know the mad thing? Franklin is a good boxer. That said AJ doesn't exactly have the Riddick Bowe mentality with smaller fighters.
Congratulations, AJ. You are and will remain the financial box office of the heavyweight division. The role model of boxing and an absolutely humble and good human being. Thanks every day! Big up, Champ! All the best for your future, whatever you decide!
Well done 👏 proud off you 👏
Role model? His behavior after Usyk was absolutely appalling. Champ? No, that’s Usyk.
@Maximos Wolfe 💯 his behaviour after Usyk was unacceptable, and he, like everyone else, has acknowledged that fact. Literally, Usyk is the champ 💯 but figuratively, AJ will continue to be a champ because he never ducks fights,( compare number of fights this dude has made n fought in his career compared to others in his era) never complains, and admits been vulnerable! Don't get me wrong, bro, Usyk, Wilder, Joyce have almost the same characteristics, but the difference is AJ is my guy.
@@frankanyasi5602 He went back and forth on whether his behavior was justified. It was not the behavior of a true champion.
@Maximos Wolfe respect to you for your PoV. I got mine, too. Maybe it is biased PoV, but it is what it is. Unapologetic fan here🤷🏽♂️😆
I hope AJ gets out again.quickly and keeps momentum, he fights better against bigger men so hopefully picks someone a bit bigger than JF.
AJ , I'm die hard fan bro..but you absolutely laboured for 12 rounds against this fella. So sad to see how diminished your boxing prowess has gradually become..In my mind, would the obvious top five guys in the division not have comprehensively put this away in fashion? Everyone keep saying a win is a win but does this win for you hand on heart mean you can regain those belts?
In all honesty, I think Robert McCracken would have done a better job with AJ on this night and would have probably produced a knockout. This constant change of head coaches is delaying his improvement.
I don't think so he has had 3 loses with him and 2 bk to bk I think he needed to change it up his jab looked miles better
