Franklin giving this a go. Not intimidated by the size and power of AJ like.
Looks like Joshua's nose has gone - bleeding after 1st round and looked worse during 2nd - his corner has been working on it!

The discussion kicks off with Joshua's shocking defeat to Dubois, where many fans express disbelief over his performance. Critics highlight Joshua's form since his losses to Usyk, suggesting that he appeared gun-shy, lacking the aggression needed in the ring. There is a palpable sense of anxiety among the commentators about Joshua's future in the sport, especially considering the multitude of knockdowns he suffered during the fight.12
As the conversation unfolds, opinions diverge on the implications of Joshua's performance. Some argue that this may signal the end of his career, emphasizing the need for him to reassess his approach or contemplate retirement. Others criticize the lack of urgency in his corner, feeling that they should have pulled him from such a one-sided contest earlier.34
The sentiment shifts slightly as fans begin to discuss potential next steps for Joshua. While some believe he may not have the skill set to reclaim his status, others hold out hope for a comeback. Dubois, credited for his impressive performance, raises questions about how Joshua will deal with future matchups against formidable opponents.56
"Dubios destroyed him there. That was a brilliant performance."
"Thought he was going to stage a comeback them ooof."
Verdict
Overall, the thread reveals deep concerns regarding Joshua's boxing future. While Dubois is praised, Joshua's viability as a top contender remains in serious doubt. His next steps will likely determine his legacy and potential return to form.

Joshua has been terrified of engaging since the first Ruiz fight.
I'm not convinced at all. Very tentative.
Even with his size advantage, it doesn't look like he has the power.
Enjoying this.
I think it's because Franklin is almost convincing me he has a chance.
He is fighting with real belief where as Joshua isn't
AJ is winning the rounds, just off the decent jabs.
But he's not looking good.
I honestly think he should count his money and retire.
The Klitschko fight was peak Joshua, and his last fight against Usyk was good
Really messy fight now.
I thought Joshua would have had him out of the ring by now but it has been a little disappointing.
Fairness to AJ, he's dished it out but he has also taken 3-4 really big shots tonight.
He's won comfortably but not impressive at all. Oddly seemed to be much better at the end where you would expect him to gas.
