Anthony Joshua in depth explanation of his loss

[BangEM]

Fact is, Joshua was beaten, brutalized and befuddled by a better, faster, more experienced and more relaxed fighter. He needs to forget about the rematch, regroup and slowly work his way back to a mandatory spot. An immediate rematch is a mistake.

Shut it. He got caught by a lucky punch when he rushed in and that changed the fight. Prior to that, he was soundly pummelling Ruiz. If he had gone down and out after that punch, it would've been the same with all the greats that got KO'd with a lucky punch but he got up (kept getting up) and kept fighting, despite not having any legs to stand on. And that's a warrior.

He'll destroy Ruiz in the rematch. Mind your business and shove your opinion in your bum, no one cares what you think.

Geez...the guy is a boxer, not a professor of entomology at Oxford. Even just speaking in complete sentences can be a challenge after getting hit to the head hundreds of times. I don't expect boxers to give speeches in Latin, or spout chapters of War and Peace at a moments notice.

It's obvious Joshua has been well prepared but it's called public relations. Hearn wants to take over the US promoting market...he has publically said so....and AJ is his biggest star. Clean up his image, make him look like a good guy and not a thug like Broner...it's marketing, that's all.

Nope. Ruiz showed he's the better, more fluid fighter and Joshua showed he's deliberate, stiff and predictable. The only way Joshua wins the rematch is with a lucky punch or a Takam/Parker ref.

There's nothing like being relaxed when you're fighting. You end up being faster in the heat of the battle. Fury has it. Ruiz has it. Wilder has it when he settles his emotions. Joshua isn't there yet. Joshua lost after getting knocked down for the fourth time, spitting out his mouth piece, turning his back on the referee AFTER THE TEN COUNT and laying on the ropes, possibly still buzzed. He was clearly in no condition to continue and maybe, instinctively, didn't come forward (as he had done in the previous three knockdowns) to prove that he wanted to fight. He gave up to save himself. He quit. No mas.

“Got caught by a lucky punch”😂😂

He got dropped FOUR TIMES...
...Then quit.

I wouldn’t waste your time trying to explain that to that delusional fanboy bro.

lmfao Juggs you're hilarious. Joshua got caught with 55 lucky punches and then quit. He kept getting up so he could walk to his corner and ask his trainers to start the car.

Joshua fans have been living a lie for so long, they're still going through various stages of delusion and grief. Reality hasn't hit them yet: Joshua's reign was fabricated from the very beginning, propped up on second-tier opposition and faded fighters nowhere near their best. The Andy Ruiz loss should have been a wakeup call but they just make up more lies: Joshua wasn't right before the fight, he got knocked out in sparring, he never recovered after the first knockdown, he made a mistake engaging too soon, he never quit, he was WINNING before all hell broke loose!

Learn how to read coherently...

It’s not hard to comprehend.

I can read, your talking in some ***gy dumb as **** riddles, it's boxing not poetry class.

Sort your **** out and try making some sense.

You clearly can’t you complete neanderthal. My point was simple. Unfortunately you’re that simple you couldn’t understand it.

F***ing cretin...

All valid points...
People have become so delusional. You could argue AJ got it wrong tactically but nevertheless he LOST to the BETTER man on the night and people need to accept that.

It wasn’t a fluke knockout like Lewis-Rahman, he got put down four times and was comprehensively being beat prior to the stoppage.

I think if he uses his physical tools correctly he can win the rematch but to suggest the first fight was a fluke is completely absurd.

Juggernutter666 is literally insane. he claimed AJ was already the 'GOAT' (seriously) a few years back
