Dillian Whyte v Jermaine Franklin

[Spicoli]

Whyte now applying the strength factor in 3rd, pushing him back going to body big time. Franklin answering right back and sneaky with the quick left hook. Thus far it's all bouncing off Whyte who has not taken a backwards step. 2-1 Whyte

[Spicoli]

Whyte a bit puzzled middle of ring there in 4th. Franklin has hustle. The punches always come together but nothing devastating. Like Franklin in 4th, 2-2 even up

[Spicoli]

Franklin not hurting him but he's doing the work, very active. Whyte warned for LB. Gets Franklin to ropes and rips hard to body and locks arm on ropes to hold up . Franklin throws right back and spins him. I dunno, announce making it sound like Franklin is completely gassed. Thought he edged the 5th really.

[Spicoli]

Whyte bringing the uppercut in 6th but again Franklin with the volume and working Whyte over just a bit end of round. Whyte huffing a little and his punches are coming in singles. Have Franklin 4-2. Whyte needs to wake up

[Spicoli]

Nice stick working for Whyte early 7th. Oh best combo of fight for him mid round ends with uppercut! Whyte more fire to Franklins smoke that round and he needs them consistently now. 4-3 Franklin. These levels have yet to seperate

[Spicoli]

Oh nice upper from Franklin early 8th now on the front foot. Whyte doing the Foreman-Bert Cooper arm bar defense, but he looks stuck in place not punching off of it. Whyte opening up late round and really digging into body, hard pressure may have just edged that round back. 4-4..these scores will (should) be all over the place if it goes distance.

On paper a meh fight but tell you what it's all ebb and flow. Both taking turns per their strengths

[Spicoli]

Oh Franklin shakes Whyte end of 9th with big right, put it on him pulling away . If anything stamina of Franklin has ticked up. Wow. 5-4 Franklin
