This content is protected I was sceptical at the pictures previously posted but AJ is definitely training or ‘cough’ eating differently, it looks like he’s dropped around 15-20lbs already
He'd trained to fight Miller, who for all his faults is a huge guy. Now he's training to fight Ruiz who is a much better mover. So to me, this was to be expected?
He does look slimmer in that video. I thought he came across very strangely too. When he's off-script he always seems a bit odd - particularly here though. Despite what he says in public, I don't think he's taken the defeat well at all.
It is hard to say if AJs corporate mask is slipping or he is on some kind of meds ? He seems a totally different character both physically and mentally
It's clone 47, that one has never been quite right ever since they removed it from the birthing vat. Eddie is aware of the issues and if they can't replace the motherboard they will go ahead and activate clone 48.
I loved Frank Bruno, Lennox Lewis, Chisora, Haye (before he retired the first time), Tyson Fury, Danny Williams, Dave Price, Herbie Hide...I felt like I could hop on their journey, i could appreciate their story and be on board with what they were/are trying to do. Why can’t I really proper buzz off this kid? He’s achieved so much and done amazingly well for British boxing. I try so hard to like him but I just can’t relate to him. He may as well be from America or France or wherever. I rate him, he’s quality but I can’t take to him or Dillian Whyte. Perhaps it’s an Eddie Hearn thing, I dunno.
he will probably get steamrolled if he comes in light. I can see them trying a strategy and it going completely pear shaped on the night...
I feel the same way, never really took to him. Even after winning against Wlad which really impressed, he did that cringe speech on the mic afterwards. Its a strange charisma he has, performed, he is so keen to find the perfect words but he ends up making little sense. The cheer leading with the Hearn clan doesn't help either. I feel a bit bad for him in his current situation though, there is a desperation about him, he keeps going on like he is trying to convince himself of something.
