Rumours are that AJ got a concussion from sparring during/close to fight week

LOL, your mama isn't classed as reputable

The butt hurt must be stronger than i thought.

I am always right.

Who are you calling a pussi?

The main focus of my post was on Joshua’s behaviour between rounds and the behaviour of his Dad after the fight.... where do you see me saying that’s why he lost?

Behave yourself man.

Just put him on ignore and let people actually discuss your topic.

Going back to your thread about his dad, i didn't want to believe the "Concussion story" but the dad attacking Hearn in full view of cameras makes me think it might be a possibilty.

I know the inquest would be why Joshua lost, but i just want people to leave that out and give Ruiz is credit. Not accuisng you of making excuses or encouraging any excuse but the focus should be on Ruiz getting that win.

Something clearly did not seem right with AJ. What about him possibly fasting for Ramadan?

he probably was losing some sparring and lost his confidence, wonder why he had to get a psychiatrist before the fight, whats going on?

british fanboys making thread after thread of excuses. if you're one of them then i'm calling you a *****. it's literally taking over the first page of boxingscene.


in this case you're making an excuse for joshua by saying that he was knocked out in sparring. i'm calling that "*****," because it is. it's you making an excuse for why he lost, and refusing to acknowledge that he was an overrated fighter who got beaten by an overweight american on 4 weeks and change to prepare.

The fight was going how an AJ fight usually goes, AJ drops his guy then throws a flurry he either drops them again or gets the stoppage, its just that Ruiz had more heart and didnt let that faze him, he went into war being hurt with his confidence that he could hurt the bigger man, no fear after being dropped, lol Ruiz took it in the chin in the actual fight got up fought like a champ, took his time, left no excuses for AJ

Supposedly he was knocked out during sparring and got a concussion.... I don’t know how close to fight week.

Because of this his Dad wanted the fight cancelled or postponed but Hearn wouldn’t allow it due to the publicity and potential financial losses. That’s possibly why his Dad was having a real go at Hearn after the fight.

This would also explain why AJ seemed lost in the corner from the first round and asking what to do and why he was feeling like that etc. He also looked kinda ****** up with bruises and swollen eyes.

If it’s true then it’s definitely a bad look for Hearn.

There’s no official reports of this yet but something definitely seemed off from the start and this would go some way towards explaining it.

This isn’t making excuses by the way, it really would be a sign of how they terribly underestimated Ruiz though.

Maybe that is why he spent the whole week talking about his brand and Wilder rather than Ruiz, the opponent in front of him.

I would hope all Brits and all AJ fans will focus on how he behaved during the lead up to the fight. Frankly, it appeared that he saw a fat, short dude on short notice from Haymon and he figured he was just there for the payday so AJ was focused on everything other than Ruiz.

Maybe next time he will not underestimate his opponent.
