Wasnt robbed like, it was close but the heavier shots came from whyte, Franklin couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding but his punch volume was his equaliser as such. Either way awful fight

Awful fight, but an even worse strategy from Buddy McGirt telling him to go to the body and jab all fight. He didn't even know what round it was at one point. As soon as Whyte ignored him and actually started windmillimg he hurt Franklin and would have knocked him down if he wasn't saved by the ropes and then the bell.
Macho

Agree 100%, had to pull myself to watch this bout.
Pleased i watched the Wardley/Gorman fight before though.

Things must be bad if you have pull yourself to watch it

Pleased I turned it off after 5th. Was knackered.
Whyte had a little purple patch, earned a title shot and kept active while he waited. Credit for that.
But since the first pov fight (or even sooner tbh) he looks like all his movement, agility sharpeness had just gone.
Looks terrible now.
Ironically, AJ would smash him now, it's a perfect fight for his comeback.

Whyte should never have left Mark Tibbs. He’s looked bollocks ever since.

Whyte nicked it imo.....even if Franklin did win you've still got Uncle Eddie's judges to contend with....

Why do people always say this when a Matchroom fighter wins a close fight?
Eddie Hearn has absolutely nothing to do with who the judges are.

The promoters are the ones who pay for for the judges fight week expenses though rather than the sanctioning body/local comission, which is a farce in and of itself.

I wouldn’t disagree with that like.

I agree, but the difference is, fury is at the top of his game and should be making the absolute top fights.
AJ needs to rebuild himself.
It's a very different situation.
This. Its as close as you can get to actual bribery.
Take all the nice things and have a lovely weekend every few months.
Just make sure we don't blacklist you, though eh?

I know I keep going on about it but Joshua vs Whyte targeted for spring/summer now. And Eddie reckons AJ is going to fight 3 times next year. Honestly it’s a joke at the stage. The geezer obviously doesn’t want to fight.
Azim just starting
he can really bang

Azim massively impressive there like.
Took Marku 7 to get Charlton out. That’s impressive

Seriously impressive that. Looks dynamite that lad.
Shane has got a heavyweight called Moses Itauma in the gym also, 17 years old. Meant to be just as talented as Azim. Exciting times ahead for that stable.

Agree. Promoters and judges/refs shouldn't even be communicating with each other but they're out having meals and drinks together on fight week. It's ridiculous.
Forgot all about the Azim fight. Will catch up tomorrow.
He's a good coach Shane but all his fighters seem to fall out with him eventually. Must be a bellend.
