I think Joshua is done, career effectively over

[uppercut510]

Tyrone WBCfan I don't know man, AJ's master Hearn is a genius in hyping up AJ, I don't think AJ's career is definitely over. I think he will keep fighting and acting like he is #1 and all his followers will continue supporting him. I mean, look at all the support he is getting from the loss, his supporters are all treating him as if he won the fight.

yeah they say he took the loss with such "class" I'm wondering what n the hell else was he supposed to do

100%

Someone needs to sit AJ down and get him to figure out if he still wants it.

Because if not, you don't half ass it

He himself talked about a "Ten years" thing whenever he talks about boxing. I know he has spoken about losing multiple times. So maybe he isn't that bothered about losing. He hasn't made any excuses so far so who knows. I just think the rematch is a bad idea, he just isn't good enough. How he gets ducked with the massive payday he was offering his opponents is still a misery to me.

but thats a losers mentality with all due respect

champions dont think like that

Sometimes yes, but other times it's the attitude of someone who's worked too hard for too long. There comes a point when every soldier lays down their weapons, every artist lays down their tools, etc.
I can't speak for anyone else but once I became a father, the importance of my personal ambition lessened in comparison to what I wanted for my kids. As long as I make enough money to keep them fed, clothed and with a roof over their heads then I do not need to be promoted further. And less face it, with the level of maturity in most "adults" these days, the higher your position wherever you work the more children you have to look after.

If your AJ your taking it in stride.
The rematch will be bigger than the first fight.
If it’s true he was concussed in training then in his mind he shouldn’t have lost since he wasn’ 100%.
He wins a rematch he gets his titles back and is a bigger star.
He loses he can retire with life changing money already stacked up.

I think I stated my point pretty clearly.

Your reply has got nothing to do with my post.

AJ is being pressured into this rematch, and now he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. His best chance is an early KO.

Circling and moving just isn't his style. He looks awkward on the backfoot, and his jab lacks the speed and snap of a natural boxer.

Having a lot more time to prepare, I expect Andy to show up in better condition and with improved speed and confidence. I can see him cutting off the ring, backing AJ into the ropes, and nailing him repeatedly.

I agree with your points. But no chance his team will choose to adopt a reckless approach and go for the early KO. He will try to box smart and use length and a long jab.

Let's see how his,next fight goes first.
