End of round 6 he asks McCracken why he's feeling the way he does. I'll try find it later. Ended up feeling a bit sorry for Joshua surprisingly, he quit in there basically. Dillian Whyte says it's because he can't get around the US drug testing as easily so wasn't on his usual juice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he quit, is about the most ridiculous thing I've read in the aftermath of the fight.He had beaten the count FOUR times, before the ref called a halt, but yeah, he quit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref let him away with it in the 3rd but he'd still be there asking him if he hadn't halted it when he did.

That's why the referee took the decision to stop the fight.In his opinion, the fighter wasn't in a position to defend himself & calling a halt to the fight was protecting the boxer.Quitting, I haven't laughed so much in a good while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref had no option but to call a halt, the fighter needs to be on his feet and raise his gloves as a bare minimum, Joshua had enough about him to say he wanted to continue but wouldn't do anything to get the fight restarted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was afforded far more opportunity to resume fighting than 90% of boxers get in his position. Edited June 3, 2019 by ayrmad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stands alongside winning rounds, by making opponents look bad, whilst not throwing punches . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 The fact that every post kiddy makes in this thread is wrong shows it was a quit. Joshua even primed the ref for it after the previous knockdown when he started pushing his gumshield out at the ref as the count got closer to 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 On the much talked about rematch clause. Eddie's maybe jumping the gun on a UK venue, should Ruiz want to take it to the altitude of Mexico City! He's already talking of taking it there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably generate more money for both fighters too so it's a win win. 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
