    Was Franklin robbed or a close fight that could have went either way?

    Didn’t watch it tbh and seeing conflicting reports. How did you score it?

    Bro technically Franklin made Whyte look awful and flat footed believe me I knew minimal about Franklin before the fight but he has won me over and Whyte has been the fighter I've always always enjoyed watching

    I got a lot of love for Whyte as he comes to fight but that's bs Franklin won and shoulve been split decision at best, typical bs commentary from DAZN Keep asking myself why I bother with such a corrupt sport like boxing

    Even the crowd didn't even cheer him in that post fight interview when he was like yeaaaaah lmao

      It was close, but Franklin won by 1-2 rounds. Stuck between styles but he looked baad.

        I thought Franklin won. Whyte got through the bigger shots but not enough imo. Still not really crying robbery. That was a sloppy fight.

          Had it 114-114 Draw, but 1-2 points either way would be fine. Definitely not a robbery. It was very close from start to finish., Must be hard for a boxer though to come out the wrong side of a fight that can legitimately be scored either way. Franklin showed a lot, and I'd imagine they might stick him on the undercard of Joshua vs Whyte. Maybe vs Wardley? Nash out

            Not a robbery, just a close fight that could've gone either way. If I had to pick a winner, it's the American, he did the cleaner work imo.

              Close fight. Whyte finished strong, a rarity from him.

                It was a good fight and Whyte had a strong finish. But, Whyte should be a world level guy, and a very average guy gave his a tough fight.

                Whyte is very average.

                  Lol, why didn't you just watch it RJJ-94-02=GOAT? Too much hate built up to put yourself through it? Just kept refreshing a website instead? You got it bad son.

                  If it makes you feel better, Franklin won most the middle rounds, Whyte won the last 3. So really it was how you scored the slow early rounds.

                  Think a draw would've been fair, was a pretty lame fight. You did good avoiding it, although I can't imagine your anxiety refreshing websites is healthy.

                    I was watching Parker-Ryder. The much better matchup.

                    You seem agitated. Whyte fan by any chance or just a pathetic little Matchroom fanboy?
