Franklin TKOs Vargas in six

WBO #12 heavyweight Jermaine “The 989 Assassin” Franklin Jr. (23-2, 15 KOs) scored a sixth round TKO over 2004 Olympian Devin Vargas (22-11, 9 KOs) on Thursday night at the Wayne State Fieldhouse in Detroit, Michigan. Franklin connected with big shots in every round, but the rugged 42-year-old Vargas was able to absorb it. Franklin dropped Vargas in round four and again at the end of round six. The bout was stopped during the break between rounds.

Usyk has applied for an exception with the IBF to allow him to keep his belt if he fights Fury again instead of mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic. If it is granted Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois on June 1st would probably be for the IBF interim title.

Deontays a shadow of his former self.
Thanks to the bronze bomber for some epic fights, goes out on his sword that trilogy with Fury took something away from both boxers.

Yip he is goneburger now the only fights he could possibly have would to be a name on a up and comers like Anderson record but hopefully he calls it a day. Those last fights in Saudi probably doubled or tripled his career earnings and good on him. Sail away Bomber.
Zhang may want to rematch JP or wait for a title fight when it arises.
DD if he gets the IBF
AJ
or winner of Usyk- Fury
Either way Zhang stocks are back up

What happened? Looked like Wilder got grazed, blinked, and then turned his back, where upon ZZ knocked him out. Bizarre. I got it right. Both DDD and ZZ won. I shoulda bet. Great undercard too. If Pappalone had won his fight with Zirad, he'd have fought Bivol.

A graze from ZZ is enough to stun
Wilder reacts that way when he gets tagged - when JP hit him with the overhand right Wilder turned to the ref like he was in the middle of a conversation and JP interrupted rudely.
