Did Wilder announcement distract AJ?

[MAUKboxfan]

Lots of elements all together.

- Fight in the US
- Change of opponent
- Wilder situation
- Looking for a fast KO

There is always something though.....

Strange how AJ went backwards. He made the same mistakes he made against Whyte when he got caught. I don't think Mccracken's advice in the corner was the best. Asking him to keep busy when he needed to gather himself for a few rounds. Ruiz only had success when Joshua went in swinging.

You know at this level of the game I wanna say no but I kinda thing everything was upside down for Joshua this week. Wilder stealing the attention. Fury saying he gots to fight real mfers. F#cking Max & SAS kinda f#cking with him. Bet Ak or Barak stepped on the back of his shoe & had him do a lil stutter step with one shoe half off before an interview.

AJ seems like a guy that would get affected by that sort of thing

I'm not trying to kick a guy when he is down but a lot of things went wrong for him since his fight against Povitkn

Also the man was walking around with a black eye all week probably got slapped around in sparring
