First off, ask yourself this, other than both Khan and Joshua having glass jaws, what else do they have in common? - They are both managed by Eddie Hearn.
Hearn protected AJ his entire career. 20+ fights with no names at the time of the fights, while ducking Wilder, Fury and a Dillian rematch.
Something is definitely wrong with AJ and his Camp. For starters, his trainer Rob McCracken is an absolute disgrace, the footage of his advice between round was "give him the one two"... That is a script from a non boxer, not something you'd expect with a wealth of experience supposedly. A clearly spaced-out Joshua said to McCracken, "Why am I feeling like this"... McCracken ignored that, offering up no reassurance or anything.
Equally, AJ turned into a Media Darling, I think he didn't take the Mexican seriously, but even with a FULL training camp, AJ fought weak, hands down, pathetic jab and clearly a glass jaw.
Bottomline is, AJ got embarrassed on the highest stage, against a fighter who looked out of shape, was shorter, shorter arms, 2 stone heavier, 6-weeks notice, not even considered a top 5 contender. Not only did AJ get beat, dropped numerous times, but he actually QUIT. Look at the end, he comes out and then go back in the corner because he was unstable and scared to come back out.
The worst thing of all, AJ was smiling all throughout this, what idiot keeps smiling and beckoning on his opponent when he is in trouble?
Glad the AJ hype train is over, best result, in the pinnacle of Arenas, MSG New York, and best of all his Promoter Eddie Hearn had that smug grin wiped off his face.
Have to say though, the positive was that the card delivered a fantastic entertainment package, so well done for that.
The sponsors and AJ backers will at least take notice now, he was just a protected hype job, he is too slow and one dimensional to pose a threat to anyone.
If a rematch happens, it will be even worse, Ruiz with a full training camp and using the cheddar to add nutrition and other things to his camp will be game over for AJ.
AJ looked in denial and punchdrunk, he should really retire, go join the Z-Celeb circuit and do Love Island and leave boxing for real fighters, not stage managed ones.
Dillian Whyte is the man to represent the UK, he comes to fight and is his own man.
