BESPECTACLED and softly spoken, Joshua Franco’s genteel appearance is at odds with the emphatic intent his words carry. It’s been a little over three weeks since “El Profesor” ripped into Australia’s Andrew Moloney and scored a significant upset after 12 punishing rounds. Victory was more than just a shot in the arm for the young American’s career. It was a moment of validation for himself and those closest to him, irrefutable proof that his self-belief was never misplaced, regardless of how rocky the road has been thus far.
