Because his never believed in this mythical zero. Fighters lose its the name of the game and he can fight again. No doubt it will hurt but its not like his career is over.
AJ has been massively overpaid while Wilder has been massively underpaid. I think AJ was just happy to be going back home with his faculties in tact. To be honest the way he was manhandled by Ruiz, i think he should consider calling it quits. He has already made enough money from the sport and he shouldn't risk his health and faculties unnecessarily just for the sake of legacy, he has a serious chin problem and it will always remain his achilles heal
I wonder if he'll sequester himself in England now for the next couple of years. Talk about a debacle for his first fight overseas.
Watching his post fight interview, he basically said "I've been through much rougher **** in my life and turned things around before I became a boxer so I can handle this."
I don’t think Frank Bruno ever looked like he was being held hostage to be in there. Joshua looked like he would’ve climbed out the ring if Ruiz came towards him once more. Joshua was surprised when it was stopped but that’s because he thought he could buy time with no mouth shield and lying back on the ropes.
He called Eddie Chambers a disgrace to the superior black race in a private text which Eddie then shared, but the story got completely shut down and scrubbed from the net by matchroom.
I’ve watched the fight twice now and he was concussed from the third round. No idea where he was or what he was doing from that point on. Hence the leaning back on the ropes with his gum shield out, he thought he was sparring and taking a breather
Yeah the questions he was asking his trainer in between the rounds was a fighter who had no idea what was going on. He kept asking what shot he was hit with.
Before the fight he was looking uncomfortable.Like knowing he will loss, but Ruiz is not that scary, if he believe he was, they wouldn't choose him.Strange.Also against Klitshko, Joshua was trying to save time after the knock down with the stuff that is protecting his teeths.In the end, i can't believe the referree was not on Joshua's side.Maybe that's because the fight was not in his country, Britain.
