Rumours - Anthony Joshua was having panic attacks weeks before the fite

Whatever happened to the days of when a fighter lost, he just ****ing lost!!??

 

I was absolutely ecstatic, literally jumping around the room when Ruiz won.

It's not that I have a particular dislike for Anthony, it's just that I always knew he was overhyped.

Now there's rumours circulating every which way.

Many people are rubbishing them, stating that it's a taste of sour grapes etc from his fans. However, after watching the fight back again numerous times, there was definitely some odd things that occurred, such as:

1. He kept playing around with his gum shield, slipping it in and out of his mouth.

2. He had a long neck massage in the ring, before the fight.

3. He kept second guessing himself between rounds, where he also asked bizarre questions, such as: "Why am I feeling like this?"

Again, I'm not a fan of his. But I'm sure something was amiss, even before the bell rang. I don't know if it was nervous tension, but something was odd.

Also, do we know yet why his father was so angry with Hearn?

 

Then either AJ is mentally weak or Ruiz causes nightmares.

 

Maybe we'll find out in some documentary few years from now;

 

They’re not uncommon and not untreatable. He’ll be fine if that’s true. Travelling overseas and the time zone, the uncertainty about future fights is probably the main causal factor.

 

You change your circadian rhythm and it will cause anyone to be anxious.

 

Weed makes things worse for most people with anxiety/panic attacks. For someone a bit stressed and anxious who tolerates weed it’s helpful.

 

Probably both,
Which means that even in a rematch Ruiz will KO him again

 

Ruiz causes nightmares. When I boxed and someone didn’t look physically imposing I would be shocked when they could actually fight. Imagine how strong that effect would be for a physical monster like Joshua coming up against a short, obese man like Ruiz. Ruiz’ speed and explosiveness, timing and chin are elite and unexpected since he doesn’t look athletic at all. Ruiz is a very good athlete, he’s like one of those fat dudes in the NFL.

 

Its funny how people are making all these excuses for AJ. Has anyone ever contemplated what kind of mental pressure Mike Tyson would have been under in the 80's and 90's? He had way more expectations, pressures, mouths to feed, adulation, paparazzi that AJ can even imagine.

 

He got a Ruiz attack in the ring, that's why he lost.

Loving your use of English by the way, takes me back to the golden age of the internet when I was 15 years old chatting with 14 year old girls on MSN Messenger.

 

As I have said elsewhere, his dad’s behavior in the ring just underscores what a beta AJ is — imagine a grown man’s father coming to his workplace and yelling at the boss in front of everyone.
