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

    Close and competitive but giving a draw to Whyte would have been kind.
    I'd say it was a robbery. Not a huge one but Whyte didn't deserve the nod.


    The refereeing was disgusting also Whyte landed so many low blows and shots to the kidneys/round the back, constantly pulling Franklins head down and into shots or pulling his head down and leaning all over him and I am not sure he was even warned once? Credit to Franklin just getting on with it. Then Franklin had decent success backing Whyte up and beating him on the inside then he pulls them apart as he was teeing off for use of the head allegedly Starts getting involved threatening to dock points

      Aping Franklin's claim of robbery doesn't make it so. Should Whyte have done better against this guy? Sure, but he still did enough to win. He knows he can't fight Joshua or any of the top guys like he fought Franklin. I think he gave him some rounds as he experimented with Buddy's new tactics.

        You seem agitated. Whyte fan by any chance or just a pathetic little Matchroom fanboy?
        On paper that was the way better match up. Surprisingly things didn't play out that way.

          Yeah Parker b****ed out unfortunately. I was buzzing for John though. If anyone deserves a bit of luck it’s him. I thought he would have won regardless, I felt like he was getting to Parker even in the early stages.

            Go check out any DAZN instagram post coming after the fight. It’s about 8 out of 10 people screaming robbery.

              Too Close to Scream Robbery but I did think he won 7-5 but of course he was never going to get that Decision

              Ref a times was breaking the action for no reason like he was giving Whyte time to catch his breath because he looked so gas, not the first time either, see this happen during his fight with Rivas

                Lol, I just find your hate hilarious. Cracks me up.

                Ftr, I was watching both split screen, and the Parker/Ryder fight was over waaay before the Whyte fight was.

                Come on, you can do better than that. Don't let that hate stew, just relax, it's over.

                On another note, remember when I told you that all of Eubanks fights would be PPV on Sky now? And you denied it (unless sit was Kell)? Really made you mad thinking that would happen.

                Yeah, YDKSAB.

                  - - Shyte fight to score, but good fight for monkeys to scream robbery absent any criteria for that citation.

                  Frankie did OK considering the massive step up in class, but Whyte as predicted can no longer hold a shot and looked vacantly disinterested even when he got in good shots. He did have Frankie in a world of trouble closing sec of the fight, but even if a minute longer, he'd lose interest as he did all night.

                  Had that been a top 10 heavy in there, Whyte would've been finished before the halfway mark. He's been softened up by Eddie giving him slots on DAZN as a talk host.

                    Where is the hate?

                    Remember when you said Whyte was gonna beat Fury and was “all wrong” for him?

                    You’re such a loser kid. One sad little troll.

                      No. I did say Fury would win but pointed out his weaknesses though!

                      Those weaknesses stand against anyone.

                      You seem to have taken it VERY personally

                      You trolls have no idea lol

                      Take it you won't admit you were wrong about Eubank and PPV on Sky then? Lol. Troll.
