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

[OnlytheTruth]

Let's not forget the fact that it was NOT the first time Joshua had been down and in trouble! 41-yr. old Wlad had him down and in serious trouble too!

Joshua had a lot of mental pressure on him.

May 13, 2019:

"Styles make fights, I think Wilder will fare well against Breazeale. I think Wilder is too quick, he's a very, very fast heavyweight, but Breazeale is tough, took me seven rounds. I hope Wilder does it in nine, so I can be like 'hey I done it earlier'. You know how it is, comparisons and stuff, but yeah it will be interesting to see." - Anthony Joshua

Well, that didn't happen! Wilder had the highlight reel KO of Breazeale! So here comes AJ, in his U.S. debut! Big coming out party for DAZN USA! He picked the fat guy who lost to Parker, and only had a 5-week camp! "This should be easy work?"

BAM, down goes Ruiz! OK, let's finish the job! Swing, swing, swing, and Ruiz is still there! BAM, down goes Joshua! Now this is a lot more work, than he was prepared for, and he's embarrassed!

Now, he's thinking, "I don't want to be here!" Where's my 90K fans? Why am I in NY? "This fat guy is whooping my arse!" Let me try the old mouthpiece trick! Failed! Fight is over! Hype train stopped!

I don’t get what you are trying to say. You are stating the obvious there.

Agreed. He rushed in to finish him like Wilder and got clipped

yeah, he just got clipped in round 3... He then got clipped by another thirty power punches.

Thinking he just walked into a lucky punch is what's going to get him beaten again.

Calm down children , AJ doesn't care about Wilder he cares about undisputed and Ruiz after he gets by him you will see Wilder will lose all interest once again that's why he was telling AJ not to take the fight because Wilder himself wants it . Ha

IF that's the case, then why was AJ thinking about him, then?

cute

Because he holds the last belt ? Just a hunch .

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...

I worked the bag for 3 mins a few days ago and that was enough lol. I consider myself in decent shape too! I just think people go way too hard on here criticising fighters, how often do people who have held world titles get called 'bums'. Ah well that's boxing forums for ya.

That's not a good excuse to be worried.

Andy Ruiz holds all the belts, but I'm sure Deontay isn't losing sleep or fights because he's worried about him.

You only worry about threats, not somebody who holds a belt
