Franklin stays unbeaten with decision win over Booker

Jermaine Franklin W10 Rydell Booker: Undefeated heavyweight Jermaine Franklin was a bit sloppy but he improved to 18-0 with a lopsided unanimous decision win over Rydell Booker. Franklin lost his mouthpiece twice in the first half of the bout and was reaching with a lot of power shots as he seemed to be trying too hard to land a one-punch knockout. With that being said, he consistenly outworked the 38 year-old Booker and did just enough to discourage Booker from getting too offensive minded. Official scores were 99-91 and 98-92 (twice). Booker, whose resume has a 14 year-gap due to incarceratiion, falls to 25-2. Source: Showtime
