At first I bought into the conspiracies that AJ was KO'd in sparring. Now I just think he is a mentally fragile individual, who could only prosper when everything was going to script. He keeps exposing himself as a weak-minded sap. Soon as Ruiz jumps on him again and lets them fast hands go, we're gonna see another Team AJ inquest, hear a bunch more excuses. But at least the second time around there will be no believable excuses.

"when the mouthpiece came out"
no AJ not when it came out, when you SPIT IT OUT, INTENTIONALLY
Ref wasnt playing that chit and told you to come forward and you stood there frozen stalling because he didnt give you extra time for spitting out your mouth piece. YOU QUIT.

his mouth piece spitting move, and his back toward the ref, were all cries for a life preserver.
If the fight went on a bit longer, he'd go out on a stretcher.
when he was looking out into the crowd.... it was weird... creepy... he did not want to be there.... he could not believe what was happening to him...
he did not, and does not know how to deal with real adversity...Ruiz jr... brought a true warriors heart.
I guess his loss was a combination of letting Ruiz jr hold the belts, Mexican brujeria, and that big azz chick from Miami who drained his balls, and stole his power.

I’m not making excuses, just saying I don’t think he quit.
Body language while concussed apparently overrides what he actually said for some reason.
A fighter more often than not will say he wants to continue

Yup that’s exactly his downfall : he is very weak minded
In that fight , he seemed to be astonished with what was happening to him

Originally posted by ruedboy View PostThe ref definitely could have dona a better job.
Joshua got up at the count of 8, but turned his back to the ref and walked to the corner and leaned against the ropes.
The ref asked him if he wanted to continue and he said yes but he looked unsure. The ref asked him again and he said yes but the ref waved it off.
So Joshua did say he wanted to continue but the ref thought his body language was saying "no mas".
If the ref did a poor job it was by giving Joshua too much time. The ref gave Joshua every opportunity to continue, and Joshua couldn't continue. But he didn't quit, he was hurt.
If the ref would have let it continue it's not improbable that he would have been violently knocked out soon after.

So now I'm leaning toward Joshua. Of course, Ruiz has always won (save the MD against Parker) and was never knocked down pre-Joshua, so he's taken the shots, he's got a hell of a chin.
You're right in your analysis that Joshua tires. Big muscles are draining in boxing. It's a funny thing that a fat guy like Ruiz has more stamina than a chiseled muscle man like Joshua, but it's also a well known thing, but a thing that seems ironic to the casual observer. I watched the fight with my girlfriend and she declared the fight was rigged, essentially due to the body types.

I actually went and watched the Parker fight, and Ruiz beat the breaks off of him. Ruiz won damn near every round.
And his defense didn't look as bad as in the Hanks fight, and some other fights.
I'm still up in the air on this. But I'm leaning toward Joshua. Fat Ruiz needs to take Joshua to the deep waters, and gas him, if Ruiz has the gas. Or, spark out him early again.
