Can someone please for the life of me explain why AJ wears damn earbuds in every damn picture!? Maybe I’m behind the times and this is what “this generation” does to “look hip” but to me he looks like a complete douche nozzle. It’s akin to the 80s wearing sweat pants with one leg pulled up lol

Most things you see a boxer (or any sports athlete) wears constantly such as earbuds, cap, water bottle of a certain brand, etc. are usually sponsored products that they HAVE to wear under their contracts.

You might be right about the ko but to me Franklin look relaxed just like he did in the whyte fight. Aj seemingly fights like a man with a lot less confidence than he did a few years back.

Fair enough.

If this were true do you really think he’s going to last 7 rounds or make it to 7 rounds if he doesn’t want to be there ?

When Joshua wins it’ll be because his opponent doesn’t want to be there even though he busted his azz to get in the best shape of his life ?

I’ve never seen any Joshua opponents that didn’t want to be there to try and get the spot light and no fighter goes into a fight like this without confidence,that’s crazy talk .

That why I said IN LESS than 7 my dude ,you really seeing confidence in franklin?Lol Or let me ask you this instead, You picking franklin to beat AJ?

I would be shocked if that actually happens no cap.

It took Gypsy bum nearly 10 rounds to beat a totally faded Chisora.

So no shame if Joshua will need a decision.

AJ could win this on roid rage headhunting KO...but im banking on Franklin for the win on activity. I think AJ has realised that testing can be swept under the carpet in the U.S. and thats why hes leaving after this fight.

Not unless Franklin Changed his name to Joshua ? Where would I think Franklin wins if it’s very clear I stated when Joshua wins ?

Franklins very confident he wins this ,this will all change the second he gets hit clean ,I don’t see it going past mid rounds ,no matter what Franklin shows up .

Wow! This is a great fight! Go Joshua!

You do realize that Chisora and Franklin are miles apart, right? Chisora is a veteran while Jermaine is not even at the level of Tom Schwartz. Chisora gave enough trouble to Usyk, is ranked in the top-15, and has tons of experience and decent wins under the belt. Franklin has none...not a single decent win...nothing. Even Tom Schwartz had won the WBO and WBC youth heavyweight titles and the WBO Intercontinental belt (for whatever they are worth). We know what Fury did to Schwartz and Schwartz was a regular boxer who competed nationally and at the European level. Mind you that was a pre-Kronk Fury on a comeback trail. Who exactly has Jermaine ever beaten? Why do brits keep exaggerating Joshua's opponents to make it sound as if it is a competitive fight when even Hearns initially accepted that this is a tune-up to give AJ his confidence?

It would be an embarrassment for AJ if this goes past the 5th round, let alone a decision. I think AJ smashes him within 2 rounds.

So this is all a boxing fanatic can talk about after reading an article on upcoming bout? I reckon you are on the wrong site.

“I reckon” I’m asking a legit question about a boxer in photo ops always wearing head buds. But, thanks for playing kiddo.

Ok! Now, someone that finally has a valid explanation that makes sense! Perfect!
