AJ: "I got hit with lucky punches from Ruiz"

Not to mention the "Luck" he had with the ref in the Takham fight...I think in the Ruiz fight in the 7th he thought he had the same ref & he would be saved again...this time the rules applied to Joshua ...something he ain't used to outside UK!

 

Adhering to that constructed media-friendly personality for so many years must've been infuriating. Probably made the loss even harder to take.. peak 'nice guy, people's champion' Joshua was handing Ruiz the belts in the build up.. look what happened!

It's clearly not his real personality - there are so many tells in interviews over the years and little things that have leaked out that tell you this. Must've been hard to contain it for so long.. I'm glad it's coming out a bit more now.

 

Bottlemline, he got knocked down four times and was completely out boxed, no lucky punch can cause that.

 

This bodybuilder needs humbling a second time in my opinion. Gonna have to be done by a overweight fighter a second time. Lol his career is finished!

 

A flash knock down , yes. 4 knock downs means your ass got exposed.

 

Ruiz, barring him being out of shape and heavier, wins again

 

AJ's been rocked in a bunch of fights. I can't think of one where he hasn't been off the top of my head. I don't think he's got a glass jaw perse but i think he maybe doesn't see the shots coming or doesn't turn his head to take the steam out of them. Either way. AJ's been hit with a few 'lucky' punches in the last few years

 

So right after the fight Joshua said "No excuses, I got Beat by the Better Man tonight!"... now he's making the rounds doing interviews and making excuses for his loss!

 

The deck will be stacked against Ruiz if this does take place in Saudi Arabia, the Referee will be the typical biased ones they use in Joshua's UK matches, Hearn's in bed with the Saudi's so they'll be doing everything in their power to make Ruiz lose... Joshua will be Juiced Full Tilt like Povetkin smashing opponents in Mother Russia... If Ruiz can overcome all these things with a repeat destruction of Joshua it will be more impressive than the first fight IMO...

 

Especially when the punches keep connecting.

 

Joshua has been exposed for the next David Price hype job exposed. Joshua has never showed a good chin and he finally fought someone that can take his best punch and hit him back. Joshua folded just like Price did. Everyone said Thompson a lucky shot behind the ear on Price as well. Price went for a direct rematch and lost again. Price could not handle someone that could take his punch and hit him back. Same problem Joshua has with Ruiz. Ruiz took Joshua's best right hand right after he got up from the knockdown with no effect. That punch Ruiz took would have stopped most every other active fighter including Wilder. But Ruiz took it and started punch back at Joshua. Joshua traded with him like a idiot and got caught with a punch but by far not Ruiz's best punch and he was out on his feet. Joshua has been exposed for a glass jawed limited fighter. He should have went ahead and took the big money fight with Wilder before he got exposed. I think Joshua had a better chance of beating Wilder due to Wilder having a glass chin as well. I just do not see how Joshua can beat Ruiz because he is to easy to hit. Ruiz vs. WIlder will be the big money fight after Ruiz stops Joshua again with ease.

 

all of them were lucky? .. like from round 1 on? .. that's an awful juvenile way of looking at it lmao

 

You know, I'm watching the documentary now. AJ is humble and accepting in the defeat, a lot of these recent sound bites have been taken way out of context.

He's sat on his stool saying he was completely fine for the fight, his preparation was fine, he didn't get beat up in sparring, there was no panic attack, he is saying he didn't get as pumped for the fight as he usually does because he was chasing Wilder and Fury.

He says the punch was a lucky punch and sent from the gods. Which actually is a bit disillusioned.

I take back what I said. He starts off humble but as soon it's suggested Ruiz is a better skilled fighter than AJ he shoots it down.

Yeah **** AJ.
