Joshua KO Mid

Ramirez KO Late

[Tatabanya]

AJ is coming in at 250lb+. Jermaine is a KO waiting to happen. I think AJ KO him in 1-2 rounds.

What if AJ can't do it, and Franklin takes him to the later rounds? Will Joshua start lacking coordination and oxygen? Will his mind spit out the ghosts of the past?

Not sure what he’ll be spitting out but certainly something
Nahhh , AJ got this one imo
This the fight that leads to a couple more huge paydays before he rides into the sunset

Just looked at the weigh-in video, indeed AJ looks quite focused. Franklin seemingly not very happy to be there... I read he just filed a lawsuit against Salita, that is surely a big distraction in such an occasion.

I'll likely bet on Joshua KO within six.

I think you might have this one in the bag
BIg distraction for Franklin the lawsuit but I don’t see all this chit about him not wanting to be there
Still believe that AJ will be made to look very good , Taylor made is Franklin for that outcome

One thing's for sure: if AJ loses this one, or looks less than spectacular, he's plain finished.

Meh , the British don’t let up so easily
Maybe finished in our eyes but over the pond he’ll still make some coin
I guarantee you some of the nuthuggers will be on board after his win whether spectacular or not

AJ is bigger, taller, heavier, more experienced, and with the best team. Franklin is smaller, less experienced, and until after his last fight, wasn't even a full-time boxer. No offense to him, but he hasn't ever beaten someone that was decently ranked like even top-25.

If AJ cannot use his attributes and put such a low-ranked boxer to sleep quickly, my views of him successfully being able to make a comeback will go down a lot. Franklin is no Usyk but if he can keep a fast pace and go to the later rounds, AJ definitely gases out at this weight. In fact, AJ coming in so heavy also tells me that he intends to KO Franklin early and make a statement that is exactly what he needs and exactly why they chose Franklin in the first place.
