    Joshuas game plan??

    Haas to be questioned here. Your fighting a guy who was competitive with parker and can punch.

    His coaches should have advised at all costs against a risky fire fight.

    Joshua looked like he was in a hurry to get him out of there.

    His game plan was to smile for the cameras, and punch a fat man while his fans get drunk and sing.

    Unfortunately for AJ, Ruiz got up and threw punches back. Ruined the whole game plan.

      The gamelan was to box him and not plant his feet. That's what McCracken was calling for the whole time. AJ didn't follow it.

          His corner told him basically to fight tall (move, keep it long and straight) and avoid throwing short shots this early. He didn't listen.

            McCracken was telling him to do that after the first round. AJ being gassed after 3 minutes of boxing isn’t an excuse, it’s a problem.

                He really didn't expect Ruiz to press him and take command of the ring. I think that threw him off his game as well, having a shorter guy pressing him and sitting so low ready to counter. AJ is severely limited as well, he's not a Crawford type of guy who's going to adjust, he's there to muscle his opponents down with power.

                  Joshua did not fight how McCracken had been training him to for this fight. Im no expert but even i could see it was doing all the wrong things from the start. Especially when he got Ruiz hurt. Joshua was not happy on Saturday night, we hear all the rumours why but what ever it was he wasnt happy and when he put Ruiz down he thought he saw an opportunity to end this fight quick and get it out of the way and he went for it and Ruiz took him apart. Maybe had he listened to his corner he would of got past Ruiz. But that is easy to say with hindsight ofcourse.

                    What was Joshua's game plan or his corners as I have a feeling they were very different things.
