Raydell Franklin Gonzalez Media TV interview on 904 versus Everybody 2

The Raydell Franklin Gonzalez Media TV interview with Jose G focused on Franklin’s plans for 904 versus Everybody 2: he expects a dominant performance, is going for a finish and believes he belongs in the ring with top boxers. He also discussed the jab work behind that confidence, the fighters he studies and why making weight remains the hardest part of camp.

What does Raydell Franklin expect at 904 versus Everybody 2?

Raydell Franklin expects to showcase the work he has put into boxing at 904 versus Everybody 2. He told Jose G to expect a dominant performance and said that, although he likes to pick opponents apart, he is going for a finish in this fight.

Franklin described himself as a technical boxer when Jose G asked whether he usually finishes opponents. His preference is to break them down, but he did not present that approach as a reason to pass up a finish.

Franklin put his aim for the fight plainly:

I'm going for the finish.

Jose G told viewers the Jacksonville event would be available live on pay-per-view through MILLIONS and that local fans could attend in person. Franklin’s expectation was about his own performance, not a prediction of a particular round or method of victory.

Why does Raydell Franklin believe he can compete with top boxers?

Raydell Franklin said a recent lesson from his time in the ring is that he can hold his own with top boxers. Asked what he had learned and applied to his approach, he pointed to an experience about a month earlier that left him feeling he had reached their level.

“I feel like I'm right there with them,” Franklin said. He did not name the boxers or describe the occasion, so his point was about the confidence he took from it rather than a claimed result against a particular opponent.

Jose G brought up Franklin’s extensive amateur fight experience while asking about that lesson. Franklin’s answer focused on what he had learned most recently: he no longer saw the top boxers as beyond his reach.

What has Raydell Franklin worked on in camp for 904 versus Everybody 2?

Raydell Franklin has been working on using his jab more and staying poised. He connected that work to what he noticed in his last couple of fights and agreed that it meant being more patient in the ring and taking his shots more deliberately.

Rather than give a daily training schedule, Franklin identified the adjustments he wanted to carry into this fight. The jab and his composure were the specific areas he named when Jose G asked what he had been doing in preparation.

Those changes fit the way Franklin described his preferred approach to opponents: picking them apart while remaining ready to pursue a finish. He presented patience as something he is practicing, not as a retreat from his goal at 904 versus Everybody 2.

How have Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. influenced Raydell Franklin?

Raydell Franklin named Manny Pacquiao as an older boxer he looks up to and said some of his style draws from Pacquiao. More recently, Franklin has watched Floyd Mayweather Jr. while working on his shoulder roll, adding another element to the mix of fighters he studies.

Learning from Manny Pacquiao

When Jose G asked which older boxer Franklin admired, Pacquiao was his answer. Franklin said he emulates some of Pacquiao’s style, but he did not claim to model his entire game on one fighter.

Franklin said he mixes elements from several boxers and has lately watched a lot of Mayweather. The specific skill he identified was the shoulder roll, which he said he was trying to work on.

That interest in defensive technique sits alongside the more immediate camp focus Franklin described: using his jab and keeping his poise. He spoke about each as work in progress rather than a finished version of his style.

Why is weight cutting the hardest part of camp for Raydell Franklin?

Raydell Franklin said cutting weight is the hardest part of training camp for him, though it is becoming easier. He estimated that he now walks around roughly five or six pounds above his fight weight, reducing the amount he has to lose before a fight.

Franklin did not give a weight class, a target weight or details of his cutting routine. His assessment was straightforward: among the demands of preparing for a fight, getting his weight down has been the toughest.

He also made clear that the difficulty has changed. With his usual weight closer to where he needs it for a fight, he said the cut is starting to feel more manageable.

What did Raydell Franklin say about eating after fights and his supporters?

Raydell Franklin said he is ready to eat anywhere after a fight, whether he wins or loses, though Chili's Grill & Bar has been a recent choice. Before ending his conversation with Jose G, he also made a point of acknowledging his supporters and directing fans to his Instagram account.

Franklin did not identify one restaurant he has to visit after every fight. Asked for a recent choice, he named Chili’s and said he usually gets the Triple Dipper.

Remembering his supporters

As the conversation closed, Franklin interrupted to make sure he did not leave out his supporters. He then gave his Instagram name as Razor Ray 06, offering fans a way to follow him beyond the fight.
