Joshua should retire.

Why would he hang them up? He's 34, still in prime for a HW. He got caught in the 1st round and it affected him for the rest of the fight. He's come back from defeats before. Absolutely no reason to retire. He has time and skills to rebuild.

[JakeTheBoxer]

He should. I think Parker, Kabayel and Bakole beat him even worse than Dubois did at this point.

[Pac=Duran]

Agree. His chin was never great but its gone now.

More about his defence and leaving himself open. Dillian Whyte and Povetkin both got through before he lost his undefeated record.

He's 35 in a few weeks

He probably has about 3 years at any kind of decent level, if he has enough left.

He can "rebuild", but it's worth remembering this was his first real challenge after the last rebuild and he got chinned.

I dont think there will be much of a rebuild now, I think it'll be mostly competitive opponents and see what happens.

I don't think he needs to retire, I just think he needs to forget a long 3 fight rebuild and just make the most of the latter stage of his career.

It was hard to buy into the "AJ is back" or "the new AJ" talk given the level of his opponents during that comeback, having said that I still tentatively expected him to win last night. We all knew how dangerous Dubois is and his recent wins were a lot more meaningful than AJ's so I couldn't write him off. I was kind of on the fence with this one but the one-sided fashion of Dubois' win, how AJ looked affected and hurt anytime Dubois landed and the fact that AJ went back to the old habits of having his hands low and backing up with his chin in the air just tells me that he hasn't got much left. It's hard to see how he gets back to the top level after that. Yeah, he might be able to look good against much lesser opposition, make a lot of money doing so and convince some 'casuals' that he's "back" but ultimately, it will be the same outcome if he's in there with someone in the top 5.

I think it's time for him to retire but he probably won't.

Joshua was weird in there idk cant describe that performance does he have bad anxiety? was talking back to the crowd when he was dropped.

Yes, I don't know what he was saying to crowd. Performance hard to understand, not sure why he isn't elusive? I thought Olympians have good basics at least.
DDD don't talk too much they say, let's fists do talking

It's called getting absolutely battered, beaten and brutally exposed.

Every baby has a daddy and Daniel Doubois is AJs new step daddy

[tophat1]

[Dodger07]

I dont care about this result. I still want Joshua-Wilder both are equally washed now.
