Rumors of AJ getting beat up in sparring once again

[Motorcity Cobra]

Marcos Villegas who does work for PBC on Fox said he's heard from two people that AJ is getting beat up in camp. Eddie denies it then goes on to name Andrew Tabiti as one of AJ's sparring partners. Tabiti is a PBC fighter. This video was about a week and a half ago.

He said he heard around 180,000-220,000 but that he wont post it again cause supposedly we don't believe him...
Those are his exact words...

There’s always rumours of AJ being beaten up in sparring or knocked out

Joe Joyce was supposedly beating him up in sparring a while ago and Dubois apparently knocked him out

Might be true but I never listen to rumours about people’s sparring.

You never know, we'll see I guess.

Yeah like a Week or so ago it was reports of Tabiti giving AJ good Sparring

No. My words were I don't post them anymore because you all don't believe them until your hear it from a white reporter reporting the same number days later.

Unfortunately there's never any proof of these sparring rumors.

If you read my post you'll understand why I give legitimacy to the rumors. A PBC guy said he heard rumors of AJ getting beat up in camp and Eddie says AJ has been sparring a PBC fighter. Who do you think is telling Marcos that information?

I will say this: watching AJ interact with Ruiz, he does not look ready for this fight. He looks resigned, like someone who has taken a philosophical position of acceptance rather than one of confrontation.

I feel bad because both young men seem like decent sorts. You want things to end well for everyone...i have always liked Ruiz as a fighter and knew back when, that he had talent. But when I see Aj he almost looks unkempt and just not ready. The dad in me feels concern for AJ. Boxing is a brutal game psychologically. When someone's blueprint is exposed, it isn't going to go away...at least not in the professional ranks.

AJ might well have problems sparring. Ruiz may have shown him to be limited against a fighter with real weapons who can apply pressure.
