Teddy Atlas pointed out that getting hit on the chin is ONE thing, but a shot behind the ear is ANOTHER.
He said Joshua simply didn't have his balance after the third round.
If it's never happened to you before, an inner ear infection, a sudden labyrinthitis, or a punch, and you've got the weirdest damn feeling...vertigo, confusion, weakness. "What's happening to me?"
He tried to keep going in the 4th, 5th and 6th, and sometimes tried a flurry that he thought would deck Ruiz again, but it may have felt like a dream. He was doing it on instinct. And then it was more shots behind the ear in the 7th that did him in. He sure looked weird with all the dreamy smiling. After it was over, it was like somebody still high; he was an auto-pilot while part of him was off in space.
