Joshua's ego is so out of proportion, his people and his followers treat him like he's a real religion. He is therefore very susceptible to verbal attack and loses his temper very quickly in spite of himself.

I have already experienced this type of phenomenon in the past with Lucian Bute here in Quebec, people had gone completely crazy towards him and were no longer able to see reality in the face.

Damn, Ruiz gave AJ a wake up call huh? He took off all that muscle he had on and now looking like a real boxer. Lets see how he looks tommorow.

You know shit’s real when there’s finger pointing.

Where is BJ'S black leather glove I wonder? Perhaps he angered pulev by telling him not to support non black business.

Why are you criticising AJ for getting involved in verbal exchanges at a weigh in? You know this is common place in boxing right?

I was only making a comparison ... Joshua clearly lost his temper at weigh in, he also lost the psychological war at the same time

[BirdSong]

who started it? did pulev try to feel joshua's boobs?

[Baba K]

Just a guess here - staged to ramp up interest in the fight. I'll pass...

Really?

Because this to me looked exactly like the build up with Breazeale. The challenger talking and the champion reacting and letting the challenger know he is the champion.

And we know how the Breazeale fight turned out.
