When a boxer loses, why does there have to be so many excuses?

[b00g13man]

They celebrate, laugh, applaud Wilder getting hurt or wobbled, not even dropped, as if it was a KO. Then they wanna look down on others for cheering Ruiz win over Joshua. They want diplomatic immunity.

You gotta learn how to dish and take it on the chin.

With that said, I hope Joshua recovers and wins the rematch vs Ruiz. I still want to see Wilder vs Joshua.

This is too much

I have never seen anything like it before honestly, the boxer himself isn't making one, his team so far isn't making one. But all i see is excuses and conspiracy theories. I understand some of the things that happened in the first few rounds was weird with the talk of "Why am i feeling like this" etc but fact is the boxer and his team have came out with zero excuses, so why are there many going around?

It being such a big upset people looked for ways to make sense of it and seeing AJ's demeanor plus how his Dad acted after the fight made it easier for random twitter people to claim insider knowledge. As for why is was believed easier than most conspiracy theories, part of it are people who like AJ trying to defend him, part of it are people who dislike him trying to mock 'mentally weak, not meant for boxing', part of it are people who dislike Hearn wanting to say he forced a concussed boxer out to fight halfway through a panic attack.

People and Boxers need to stop with the excuses, a loss is a loss, weve seen fighters lose then win a rematch, we seen fighters lose and then lose the rematch. Wins and losses happen to most fighters in this sport. Best thing all round is to blame the loss on Baby oil and gypsy magic and just move on to the next fight.

Most of you are fanboy clowns. You'll write a story based on the fighters you like or dislike as if your lifeblood depends on it. That's why you get red K.

The actual facts don't change. Facts like.. Joshua got KOd in the amateurs. Wilder got wobbled by Ortiz. Joshua's stamina has always been suspect. Wilder was getting completely owned by fat Fury before the two KDs. Whyte wobbled Joshua.
.... and yeah, something was seriously wrong with Joshua before and during the fight. Several people commented on it, in RBR, boxing commentators and various people on social media. I dunno if Joshua was high, drunk, concussed, or whatever they're saying. None of us will ever know. But that dude was off ever since the ring walk.

Those aren't excuses, those are facts. The only difference is that you're too ****** and biased to believe your own eyes.

It's always been the way. Especially on the internet when people don't want to look wrong.

There was a ton from Wilder after his fight with Fury, which made it easier for his fans to continue to run with them.
Joshua has came out and quashed any rumours/excuses so that should kill any talk of that really.

It will happen in the next fight we see though. That's how it is.

Yeah but now they sit on the high seat of morality and speak about class after all the crap the spewed here about a mediocre fighter who they hyped to the moon!

aj has had stamina issues, bad head movement, lacked a superior jab, bad footwoork for many fights. that's not hating ITS FACT, all fighters have flaws and those are his....he was never all that he was hyped to be, yes hes a good fighter, the flaws he had were just exposed in this fight by a guy with the tools to do it. AJ himself said it was nothing wrong with him and so did hearn all you have to do is accept it and wait to see how he bounces back.

Baby oil would be top, followed by Gypsy curses and broken arms that are fixed in 1 day.

Mosley claimed his shoes and blisters in the Pac loss and I think Pac said something about his socks when he lost to Morales.

Quality post

Two weeks ago “Breazeale gave wilder a concussion! He’s got a weak jaw! Soft! Concussed in the corner! Joshua will sleep him!”

Sunday “do you know what it’s like to have a CONCUSSION?!? Joshua is a warrior for fighting through that! A concussion and anxiety are serious issues! Hearn should have cancelled the match!!”

Joshua lost fair and square. He said so himself.

Cong**** to Ruiz
