Comments Thread For: Joshua: Me & Ref Had Miscommunication At End Of Ruiz Fight

[Alan Smithee]

Miscommmunication? The only one's who do not know about A.J's stall tactics are his die hard fans. If you have followed his career his lack of stamina has caused him to use every trick in the book. This time it didn't work. Shyte happens!

There’s no better way to indicate you want to continue than saying ‘yes’ or ‘yeah’ when the ref asks if you want to continue.

Once again he may not have been completely alert which makes sense as he was dropped multiple times and concussed but either way I don’t see how he quit.

When I think of quitting in recent times I think of Brook against Spence, Walters and Rigo vs Loma.

But you don’t move and keep your hands on the ropes like your hanging with your friends at the corner store
He fughin quitted
Stop trying to solve this or give excuses
If he did wanna continue he would of showed it
Let me ask you , this is what reason # 20 why he lost , so which one is it , what’s the reason why he lost
He’s fughin pathetic to be accusing the ref when originally he had said the ref did his job and did it well
What a pos , fughin pathetic just like those fans of his
I hope he gets knocked the fugh out even worse than the first fight
Can’t believe I actually liked the guy but after all this bullchit , I can’t stand him
Be a man and take the loss like a man
Redeem yourself in the ring instead of coming out with bullchit excuses

How much time did he want to recover here! Ridiculous. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 ,21,22,23,24,25. Eddie Hearn steps in "Is it alright if AJ comes back tomorrow to finish this fight?" Just take your L like a man.

Trying to find excuse. A lost is a lost. Rematch may have the same story...

It seems like you’re just rambling on and on.

I’m not making excuses, just saying I don’t think he quit.

Body language while concussed apparently overrides what he actually said for some reason.

Miscommunication - AJ was expecting a Wilder referee helping hand.

[Eff Pandas]

No f#cking sh^t. The ref wanted Joshua to show him he wanted to fight. And Joshua wanted to be back home al-f#cking-ready

[Boxfan83]

Joshua trying to cash out with desperate attempts to sell this fight. Joshua is going to get on his bike and gain a moral victory of going more rds than the last fight. Ruiz by tko10, Joshua wears himself out.

[nick_viking]

Fight was only going one way by this point. Joshua should just keep quiet about this. If they fought on the next punch would’ve ended it anyway.

[Noelanthony]

Why was the mouthpiece out in the first place? Andy didn't knock it out; AJ spit it out. The ref didn't give AJ a self-imposed break, now he has a new excuse

You have had some fun for the last few months but I’m back now to take over the reigns
