kiddy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 UK rematch hasn't been stipulated apparently just Hearn coming out with his usual pish. No chance it's going to Mexico should take it to LA/Cali where there's the Mexican/Latino fanbase. Has LA/Cali got more Mexicans/Latinos in it like?[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Imagine how gassed big AJ would be fighting at 7,500 ft. Also, he's getting a hard time but he was totally gone from that first knockdown and struggled on. He didn't even realise it was him the ref was talking to until he'd waved off the fight. Like Ortiz asking what all the folk were doing in his living room after Wilder did him. Ruiz always had the hand speed that would trouble AJ and wobble him but I never thought for a second he'd have the power to turn AJ into a zombie like that.

Detournement Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 His brain was rattled by multiple big shots to the head. I don't think there is much point speculating about whether he quit or not when he was showing concussion symptoms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was pretty concussed after the first knockdown and never really recovered. Like you, I'm surprised Ruiz had the power to do this to AJ but with the head it only really takes one to knock your senses. I imagine Hearn will get his way bringing the rematch to the UK, contracted in the original fight or not, because money talks and I think AJs redemption will sell well here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just say it boys, he's a quitter. You'll feel better for it afterwards. Little Lord Fauntleroy might be a big deal when it comes to domestic events but like Ruiz v Joshua, Haymon is levels above him. I'd be amazed if Haymon let this fight go to the UK. Doesn't mean it won't happen of course and it's more likely to be here than Mexico surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il leave the Q word to one side, AJ didnt want to keep fighting. He didnt want to be there. At one point he was walking along the ropes neither throwing nor trying to avoid shots. It was bizzare. Totally frozen. Its indusputable that the referee gave him way longer than is normal. Its also indisputable that he could have raised his hands to the referee and didn't. Yeah something very strange indeed, it was as if he was acting like he just got punched on the side of the head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Im not going to lie im an AJ fan he was well beat but not trying to make excuses but he seemed off from the word go. He seemed very flat and was little response from constantly being punched in puss!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a lot of Matchroom staff were privately desperate for AJ to lose. Widely disliked among them for being a bellend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleyjaggi Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Not sure if some folk are just looking for excuses other than realise Joshua just isn’t as good as they’ve built him up to be, but would love to know if there’s truth in rumours he was knocked out in sparring in the build up to the fight. Apparently his face was swollen etc, can’t say I noticed. I still think he was beat fair and square by a fighter who he just couldn’t handle. He was undoubtably concussed from the first knockdown in the 3rd, which would explain some of his behaviour and the manner of the defeat. I think he was a broken man from there, and it’s easy to see why some would think he quit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Fyvie Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Its only the Matchroom casuals that think AJ is god's gift that are making excuses for him. "Something was off" Aye ok. He's never reacted well to getting hurt, his legs go every time he gets clocked with a decent shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are whispers the reason AJs Dad was so upset with Hearn post fight was because AJ got KO'd recently in sparring and they wanted to postpone the fight but Eddie refused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he was backstabbed by so called friends in the Nightswatch, but the Red Witch wasn't available, to resurrect him, until just before the ring walk. That's why he was asking what was going on in between rounds. It completely befuddled him, in a Men in Black Style & apparently Bran was pure ragin' with Fast Eddie about it. As he had arrived just in time for the fight too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickoverayard Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The Matchroom Circle“Fury beat Klitschko because he was off that night”“AJ went life and death with Klitschko because Klitschko was at his best”“AJ lost to Ruiz because he was off”You cant honestly say he looked interested? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
