Comments Thread For: Joshua: My Mind Was Not Fully on Ruiz, It Was Partly on Wilder

that explains why you got your arse beat....u knew what was coming

Be careful you don't use all your good excuses on a "L" already taken ..... You may need a few for the second "L".

Can only imagine what it's like being in AJ's position, getting trolled hard and feeling the way he must feel. These guys put it all on the line only for someone who works at Walmart to tell you your not fit to be a boxer. I look forward to the rematch but the pressure must be immense.

Is that why you looked so petrified walking into the ring? Cuz you were thinking about Wilder? Smh...

Come on bro, some things you dont say outloud. Like crying in the shower.

So youre saying he didnt get punched behind the ear?

Do you even know what being hit behind the ear does?

And I'm not arguing that he doesnt get hurt in fights. As I pointed out, in the HW division, some times all it takes is one punch. AND he has been hurt before.

All I'm saying is that if any person, but more specifically a boxer, gets hit behind the ear it DOES affect their equilibrium.

I also said Ruiz threw and landed after that. What exactly are you trying to convey? Or is this semantics on your part?

I pointed out regardless of punch landing behind ear or not his recovery from solid shots is crap, it takes him a few rounds and Ruiz didn’t give him the chance to he continued to land hard punches on him

I thought AN had a real chance in the re!watch until hearing all these excuses and wanting the fight in the UK so badly. Not the signs of a true champ

He wasn’t happy with the stoppage? Joshua knew exactly what he was doing. He spit the mouth guard out so he could buy more time. He got 20 seconds to recover what else did he want? Also everything he did indicated that he wanted out. First he spits his mouthpiece then he goes to the ropes. Looks at his corner and ignores the refs orders. The truth is he quit.

I agree, ruiz completely ate that huge right hand straight after being knocked down, and then knocked AJ down.

AJ's has limited power, no snap in his punches. Too much muscle.

Ruiz humiliates Joshua again and Fury decisions Wilder then Fury decisions Ruiz. Likely scenario

Ha, yeah I was thinking something similar. We fans just love to tell professional prize fighters how to act, how to box, what to say, what to do, and what not to do.
We know so much better than they do. LOL.

I've seen a few guys on here claim to be real fighters too. Including those folk, I'd like to see what anyone here looks like after even 12 rounds of just sparring. My guess is 99% would resemble a wet sack of potatoes, a strung out zombie, or the terminally ill, after chemo.
Try holding your hands up in front of your face for 5 minutes with a boot in each hand. Ok, now do it in front of 5,000 people screaming at you. Most people can't even hold their hands up that long...

"This defeat has told me I must make my own decisions about everything inside the ring and around me outside.

But he just said this

"I've taken a step back from the business, so the decisions are due when the decisions are due, and I leave that to the decision-makers," he said.
