Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Tells Anthony Joshua To His Face That He "Quit"

[PRINCEKOOL]

Its smart though.... Even if he didnt if there is 1% of him that is uncertain about it its enough to come into play under those bright lights!

Anthony Joshua since that fight has even had his peers, debating on whether he quit 'Joshua has never really shown how much this has effected him, to be honest? The closer we come to the fight, I can see Joshua uncharacteristically snapping' I would not count this out entirely.

Could Joshua have done more to show to the referee 'I want to continue?' Ether which way it is a very serious accusation a opponent can make.

When Chris Eubank Senior fought Michael Watson in their second fight 'After afew rounds he conceded in his mind? That he could not beat Watson, and made a decision just to survive' I don't think at any point in Joshua vs Ruiz Junior, did Joshua concede defeat 'But he was immensely uncomfortable, because everything he was trying did not work'.

Something was definitely happening inside of Joshua's mind at the time of the stoppage, it may just be his demeanor 'But he took the stoppage far too nonchalantly'

But I am not stating that he quit, I cannot come to that conclusion entirely.

The margins of error are so small in boxing. I can see a lot of people asking the question 'Where does Anthony Joshua go if he loses this fight again?'.

Boxing seems to be the only sport where a loss, in some people's eyes makes you obsolete 'Very strange culture'.

Well Andy Ruiz Junior is not playing the nice guy in this match up anymore, insinuating that a opponent quit is quite a serious accusation.

Agreed!

It's been debated numerous times on this forum but I don't think he quit. I think it's very likely he wanted to, but at no point did he say he wanted out, or even shake his head. He followed every ref instruction and actually went to walk forward. It was the ref who pushed him back on to the ropes and being as tired as he was, put his arms up onto the ropes to probably take the weight away and/or give the impression he was calm.
