AJ suffered a panic attack before the fight according to his father

[FinitoxDinamita]

I can believe that based on his body language before the fight but HW champion of the world suffering from panic attacks? Lol doesnt sound too promising.

[Godsfly]

As I said, it's probably been plucked from thin air. but he definitely does not look good.

I definitely believe he could have been knocked out in sparring, but usually I'd take these smirks about sparring stories with a pinch of salt.

everyone is out to make a name for themselves, and people lie a lot.

Dude......just stop. There is nothing concrete backing these panic attack stories. Not even Joshua's father. Some random person said that Joshua father said this said that. Nothing on the record. Who cares if Joshua looked strange to u or anyone else before the fight How does that = he had a panic attack before the fight? Nothing on record what's so ever about this panic attack. Only fans chatter......now I am not blaming u but to continue to push this agenda as if Joshua was sick with a panic attack before the fight with nothing on record is a bit emberrassing desperate and pathatic. It's gotten out of hand.....

I also read a report that AJ stubbed his toe gettin outta bed that morning.

Anyone notice how there was NO shots of Joshua warming up in his dressing room? Or being laced up?

Every big fight shows the main attraction in their dressing room prior. Add to that the 30 min delay, the fact he looked away with the stars before the fight even started. He barely moved when being announced. If the panic attack rumor is true, I wouldn't be surprised if they pumped him with meds to calm him down.

He went to rehab for that batch he was never a crackhead he drank and did coke that’s called partying but dude really spiked his **** and almost killed him and now he’s dead cause of karma.

Being a coke head is now partying? I hear you, lol.

what you’re getting at with mike and km but they are super successful and great people today cause of their journey.

And Josh isn't super successful? I still don't get your point.

Did they have mental breakdown? Simple yes or no should suffice. Being successful has no bearing on the topic. It's about how the "struggle" didn't help them from having mental breakdown since you believe it cureth all.

didn’t see a man who quit because you never been in that situation period you don’t have a clue to what you’re spewing.

A man who wanted to quit would've stayed down after the 2nd KD. But I saw a man who was obviously concussed but kept fighting and getting up though his legs were gone from the 3rd rd. That's a warrior. He thought he would get the 2nd wind but it never came. HE DIDN'T QUIT.

Honestly, I would've preferred if he had stayed down after the 2nd KD in the 3rd round. And that would've saved him all the unnecessary punishment he took whilst trying to fight with his legs gone. Legs were gone and there was no sting in his punches. So there was no point unless he was jabbing and not engaging.

Not debating the panic attack as the main thing. For me it has to be more than panic attack. But I just don’t want all these rumours to ruin it for Ruiz. Was he concussed weeks beforehand? If so then I can buy the panic attack theory. But to just say he had panic attacks because he was fighting in a foreign country in front of 19,000 people (7,000 who are from UK) just doesn’t do it for me. Not when he has been fighting in front of 90k on a regular basis.

And the excuse about fighting in America been this whole different level thing is even more laughable.

Ah **** naw - 'excusing' Joshua ain't what's on my mind at all, ain't really even a fan, and I actually laughed my ass off when I saw the news Sunday a.m just as I would have done if Wilder had got KTFO by a massive underdog. All this HW bullchit got real tiresome a long time ago. Furthermore I'm genuinely really happy for Ruiz, seems like a good dude and who doesn't love a Chubberella story? Last thing I'm looking to do is take away from his win.... 'sides which the fight game is at least as much mental as physical anyway - if a dude folds under the pressure he's lost just as surely and just as genuinely as if he got his ass boxed off by a superior technician - the physical and mental battles are inseperable.

-wrong socks
-bad oysters
-panic attack
-just sucks
-all of the above

Fury was covered in baby oil that's why I couldn't KO him

I think we are both on the same page, nice one...

lol@ebonics....and "soul food"...im white...ive posted my pic before.....you assumed im black which is hilarious...."only black people can like wilder"...lol

anyways...good luck with your anxiety and panic attacks u beta fgt

It's even worse because you're white American aka the softest white puss.ies in the world, lol. Can't box, can't play basketball, and limited athletically.

I don't care about what you're, puss.y. I'll beat life out of you with one eye closed. Now run along, ****head.

[BostonGuy]

Wow. This no joke. Panic attacks are serious.

This just further cements my opinion that Hearn as AJ promoter and Hearn as DAZN investor/employee is an incredible conflict of interest that in the long run could be very detrimental. Ruiz could've seriously injured AJ.

If this happens again they need to cancel the fight immediately.

This is unconscionable.

This is highstakes boxing. There was millions of dollars on the line and both AJs and Hearn’s reputation on the line. You man up and go out there and fight.
