Lol! That was a high pitched "what do you mean?" Atleast a soprano! Funny how everyone saw him spit his mouthpiece out.. Lol. AJ was on shaky legs in the corner.. He needed the ring ropes to stay up. Lol.

No YOU had a miscommunication not the ref. You got knocked down, SPIT YOUR MOUTH PIECE OUT ON PURPOSE, and instead of beating the 8 count and following the ref commands you got up and walked straight to your corner and took a break lol thats not how boxing works the ref even chased you back to your corner and told you "HEY HEY TURN AROUND THIS IS NOT A BREAK LETS GO" and then asked em "YOU READY TO BOX" to which AJ did give a nod but his body language did not change, he didnt no get off that rope, The REF TOLD HIM "BOX" and nothing AJ still stayed in the corner , NOTE: AJ DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS NEVER TOOK HIS HANDS OFF THE ROPE, NEVER TOOK A STEP FORWARD. HE didnt want anymore, and everyone knows that.Comment

Not even entertaining this spin BS. Joshua is setting himself up for another loss because he is trying to correct the past and not address what is controllable in the future.
AJ hasn’t said one clear thing about what he mechanically did wrong in the first fight.
Just keeps trying to convince us and himself that he was some how robbed of glory on that night.
Supposedly Ruiz received a lucky punch from the GODS, Wilder was a distraction, there was a miscommunication with the ref?
Doesn’t team Hearn understand video exists and it’s instantly accesible by internet?
News flash AJ was knocked down four times and wanted out of that ring. Thats not luck. Wilder supposedly was a distraction but you seemingly had Ruiz beat. He came back on you. And your eyes speaking to the Ref said no mas.
If this is the focus good luck AJ!!! Your career is on the line, hope you are actually studying Ruiz and making the necessary adjustments.You may want to start with a stiff and Disciplined Jab.
AJ may just have the wrong people around him. Why are the letting him stay this delusional?Comment

AJ has been embarrassing himself of late, seems to happen often when hes allowed to talk for himself.Comment

I like many here are starting to question Joshua’s mindset. I hope he is prepared for a rematch & has made some adjustments in his game plan. Joshua didn’t have a plan B when Ruiz got up after taking his best shot. It reminds me of the Price/Thompson fight when TT got off the floor following a big shot to come back & stop Price. Price had no answer once he saw TT could take his best shot & keep fighting. Joshua has been down before & has beat some good HWs so I expect a better performance but I have this feeling there is some doubt in his mind.Comment

Has anyone notice that AJ always seems to spit out his mouthpiece when hes in trouble. The UK refs allow him to get away with it too, guarantee he does it again in the rematchComment

I agree with AJ. It was a weird stoppage even if he was on his way to getting ko'd most likely.Comment

A lot of people are desperate to say Joshua quit for some weird reason.
Spitting the mouthpiece out is a timewasting tactic, not an indication of quitting. Coralles did it against Castillo.
People going on about body language when he was in a bad way and beaten up.... what about his actual actions and what he said? he got up off the deck 4 times and said yeah when the ref asked if he wanted to continue.
I can't believe the idea of him quitting is still being discussed.Comment

It's quite possible the ref. did save his career .Joshua without doubt was not in control of his senses and would have been a sitting duck for Ruiz's hard and accurate punches .I don't even want to wonder what would have resulted had the ref had been ****** enough not to see this as I like Joshua and we all know the ref is there to protect the fighter....exactly what he did.Comment
