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

The robot is malfunctioning

"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"

😂😂😂 Exactly!

I think this was more of thinking Ruiz took a fight at last minute notice and should be an easy one. That first KD that AJ got on Ruiz gave him a false positive on that theory and he tried to end the fight and it back fired on him. Only after he hit the deck, he knew he was in trouble and didn't have another game plan.

I like AJ but he can't stop contradicting himself. Like hawt dayum man. Either he beat you fair and square or you weren't yourself. Cardiff isnt neutral territory. Focus on your technique or be in charge of all business decisions. Make up yo damn mind.

[OPS]

Joshua come on Bro. you are months outside of your last outing with Ruiz. Please let the excuses go dude. You lost fair and square. You can't move forward looking backwards. Train up, use your length and all of the ring. On paper you should have this. Unless Ruiz come in hungry again like Joe Pesci in the "snickers" commercial.

That's what I know. You were distracted. You allowed Wilder to live inside your head rent free; That you couldn't concentrate or stay focused on the task at hand which was Andy Ruiz, Jr.

All during Anthony Joshua week in the U.S. The press and social media made it all about Deontay Wilder. Wilder even manipulated the situation by injecting his himself into the equation by dropping the names of his future opponents just to throw Anthony Joshua off his game

AJ coming to America just in order to bait, chase and pressure Deontay Wilder into fighting you for the undisputed Heavyweight championship of the world; After he had already made it plain that he wasn't interested in fighting you until 2020, was not only a bad idea but a mistake on your part.

It ended up not only costing you your undefeated record but likewise, your unified World Heavyweight championship title and legions and millions of fans worldwide as well.

That right hand he landed on Ruiz right after the knock down would have put most guys to sleep but unlike Joshua, Ruiz has a chin that isn't a chandelier

I doubt it, AJs KOs aren't one punch KOs. Most of the time is the ref stopping the fight while the fighters r still on their feet.

Yeah but he was already hurt and down from the uppercut

Dude... stop talking....
I know his fans are looking for reasons but blaming it on psychological factors only makes it sound worse.

But he is going to " unleash the beast", lol. What a joke!

[boliodogs]

That is a terrible excuse from the world's heavyweight champion. If you can stay 100% focused on the man in the ring with you you should not be a pro boxer and certainly not a world champion. How in hell could he be thinking about Wilder when Ruiz was beating the hell out of him? I don't believe his excuse. He just got beat by a better man on that night. He gets his cance to try to do better and I am sure he will only be thinking about Ruiz.

Unlike AJ - when Wilder was nailed and hurt, he didn’t go down. Let alone out. Skinny legs and all - guy has heart to go along with the power. Imagine if he had technique.

That’s the difference.

Wilder has heart. AJ is a mental midget.
