Is anyone worried about AJ quitting against Fury?

[Marchegiano]

It can be seen that way by fans who don't like the fighter who did the spitting, or the promoter of the fighter who did the spitting. Others might see something different, like Michael Griffin, who refereed the fight we're talking about here.

Here's how he saw it;

AJ came under criticism for the stoppage, with some suggesting he looked like he quit when he was dropped for the third time in round seven

But referee Griffin dismissed those suggestions and explained what happened at that moment in the seventh round which sent shock waves through the heavyweight division.

Griffin explained: "I was looking into his (Joshua's) eyes. He was struggling with something. And he wasn't quitting. He was looking for more time."

That's what it looked like to me too.

I feel like that fits comfortably in my explanation bud. I'm confused as to what your beef is anymore.

[Marchegiano]

It looked like it fell out, there's always the chance he let it fall to buy time, which obviously isn't the same as quitting, there was a problem with Joshua, in hindsight, it is more clear, Ruiz didn't land any great shots in round 7, the body shots he landed in round 6 should have been more damaging, Joshua knew he was in trouble, still beat the count all 4 times, and didn't leave his answer open to interpretation when asked, he gave an answer to the question.

What can be questioned is Joshua's mentality, was he more relieved or disappointed when the referee stopped it? Did he want the referee to stop it? But he certainly didn't quit.

Buying time isn't the same as quitting?

I'm getting the impression Denium is starting to sweat now that fight is looking more and more likely. Had so much to say, so much salt which he has enjoyed throwing. If Joshua goes and knocks the FKK out of Fury I'm not sure Denium will ever reappear on here, well not under that name anyway.

Boys getting nervous.

What beef?

I was just pointing out that spitting a gumshield does not always equate with quitting.

Buying time isn't the same as quitting?

Obviously not. They are different terms with different meanings. That's why the ref who stopped the fight said this;

"And he wasn't quitting. He was looking for more time."

Which is a thing many see as quitting regardless. It's really semantics and hair cutting at this point. Kay, he didn't quit, he just repeated did something to get him thrown out of the fight....huge difference, how dare anyone call him a quitter. Get me?

There's always the Full Retard option, like this guy after Wilder got KTFO ...

México Lindo y Querido
Si muero lejos de ti
Que digan que estoy dormido
Y que me traigan aquí

Andy Ruiz laid the blueprint on how to make A.J quit. Tyson, has the background to replicate a 'No-Mas' from Anthony Joshua : Tyson can easily gain 100 pounds in a day or two, Phooey will no doubt play mind-games and dress up like a Mexican ; get dropped ( like the Gypsy-Bum usually does ), take a siesta in the middle of the ring ( like Tyson did vs. Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder ) ; and finally, sneak Joshua ( like Tyson is use too, whenever he is in trouble ).

He didn't repeatedly do anything to get himself thrown out of the fight, unless you're saying that repeatedly going down and getting back up is quitting, in which case Wilder also quit against Fury.

Denium will go down with his ship.

TF is a towel throw but a quit?
