    You believe he wanted more ?

      He refused to follow the refs instructions, he pretty much walked through the refs order of coming back to him and to not turn his back. Spit his mouthpiece out, another sign of wanting out. Went and leaned back on the corner to rest, use the ropes to aid him up, which you can’t do that. Nodded yes to continue, but stayed leaning back on the corner to rest, refusing to walk forward.

      He was clearly looking for help from someone, the ref, his coach, anyone. He was stalling, his body language showed he wanted out.

      He quit but he did it intelligently. It wasn’t a blatant quit, he let the ref quit for him by nodding but being physically unresponsive, chilling in the corner like he has all the time in the world to recover during a world title fight.

        I don't think he quit. I don't think he knew wtf he was. Ruiz scrambled his noodle.

          Cmon we’re trying to settle this right here, what’s your take I saw a guy thoroughly dejected and empty, before the knock downs between the rounds twice im sure I heard him say something to the effect of ‘why do I feel like this’ like he was flat and had zero left, it was like watching David Price all over again the moment AJ fought a guy who could punch back he had to wrestle with an emotion unknown to him, fear, the guy was crippled by it and was basically asking Mc******* ‘why am I scared’ the dude has been so oiled by Hearn and the Sky/Matchroom team he doesn’t know how to ecpress himself without asking or being told.

            Its was a quit in the sense that he didn't want to continue. He got up multiple times and ACTED like he wanted to continue but IMO it's clear he didn't want to go thru the fire

                That photo right there is dope, he’d sure still have those belts if Manny was in his corner. Where was that taken friend ?

                  Subconsciously yeah....No diffrent than Victor Ortiz taking his sweet time to respond to the ref.

                  And how Ironic..AJ acted just Victor Ortiz after the fight.

                    No. He said he wanted to continue when the ref asked him. And if anyone blames him for not putting his hands up and 'showing' more that he was ready to fight that is just ******. Joshua was highly likely concussed and out of it, that's why he didn't do all that stuff. The ref should have asked him 'are you sure?' or something like that. Calling this quitting is just hating

                      he got kd 4 times and got up every time. he was beaten up, broken, maybe even concussed. there was clearly something wrong with him. if i didn't know better i would of thought he was high. but he didn't quit.
