Both fighters are much more aggressive in this round. Joshua looks quick and powerful but he hasn’t made that killer connection yet.
Joshua did manage to land a powerful left backhand that stunned Franklin. The American didn’t stumble but he looked like he felt it more than any other shot.
Joshua more restrained with the left hook perhaps now as Franklin’s movement get more sudden. He looks at ease in there, a huge stage.
Joshua’s nose now pouring with blood, his corner get to work.
Franklin seemed impervious to big rights which had felled so many opponents on his way to glory – but how long could he keep taking them?
10-9 again to Joshua
