AJ! I noticed the weight loss a few days after the Ruiz fight! I'm not sure why the media's been dropping all these articles about his weight.. How do a person loses natural Muscle? AJ had zero fat.. How did he trim up so fast!

JA should be less stiff for this fight but at the same time I wonder If the weight loss will have even more of a negative affect on his punch resistance/power and If he truly has the ability to stay on the outside for 12rds without gettin clipped

I personally think the weight cutting will be his downfall
He had a hard time taking a punch when he was hercules and now this
I’d be surprised if he can handle a punch and truly can’t see him fighting from the outside for a whole fight
I think Ruiz will draw him in
People thinking it’s going to be easy for AJ to pick him off , not so sure he’ll be able if Andy keeps moving like he did in the first fight

how are you weight drained as a heavyweight?

Eating less calories than you use forces your body to break down muscle and fat to use as energy. Pretty easy to do if you stick to a calorie deficit. Your body actually chooses to break muscle down first before fat if you don't use it, which is why people get "skinny fat" if they lose weight too quickly.

That’s the angle of the photo - looking up at his face. Bend over a horizontal mirror and you’ll see your face does the same. I know because we had a mirrored coffee table when I was a kid lol.

I do think he may have less punch resistance with his weight loss though.

you also lose muscle if your off the juice. FYI the body will always burn fat first as a source of energy.

No!no!no!!! AJ is using his muscles everyday.. An he can't afford to starve.. It doesn't make sense to just start starving yourself before the most important fight of your career! Losing muscle like this is so ****** in such a small time frame.

That first pic is looking CRAZY. If he won the Ruiz fight, no way he would drain all his muscles in 4 months, with no fight in between. He looks like some big highschool kid. Where did the He-man, Masters of the Universe, Power of Gray Skull muscles go? Dazn put the whole company on his back. If Glass Jawshua loses, dazn will go to $30 a month or will be going out of business. 5 days left to see the fate of Jawshua/DAZN. Good luck!
