Comments Thread For: Haye, Bellew Debate if Anthony Joshua 'Quit' in Andy Ruiz Loss

[Roberto Vasquez]

If i want to quit then i wouldn't get up, or i would get up on the count of 10 **** on. If i want to buy myself some time then i would spit out my gumshield, this are some of the things you learn watching other boxers from history.

Exactly. Most of these people saying otherwise are Wilder or Fury fanboys. They don't care about boxing. It's all about supporting their crush

You can tell you don't have a legit argument when you compare it to Khan. Looked nothing like Khans' quit.

Guy had been knocked down 4 times. And should have been stopped anyway the state he was in. You want him to do a maths test? He got up off the canvas and said 'Yes' when asked if he wanted to continue. He doesn't need to do anything else in his mind. He's waiting for the mouthguard.

It's obviously important to you that Joshua quit. I get it

He quit. He was seconds away from crying in the corner. The look on his face was priceless.

He would have left on a stretcher if it had gone longer. I wish AJ had the balls to see it through that far, so we could see him stretchered off like he deserved.

he quit mentally the ref told him to come forward and he stayed there, he knew he was gonna get ktfo eventually and was dog tired.... imagine these boards if wilder or spence did that.

He did the same thing Khan did against Crawford.

He knew he was going to lose the fight, was clearly looking for a way out.

So yes, he quit because he didn't want to get humiliated further by being knocked out.

Joshua's"quit" was different from khan's imo. I think Joshua was severely disorientated and fatigued. Also probably thinking he'd get the same leeway from the ref that he was used to in UK, and was gonna be allowed a breather! He definitely wasn't ready to go back when it was time to go back!
