Anyone else thought Joshua was classless?

Screw Pulev. I wasn't as pissed about his running away as I was with all of the rabbit punches and the late hit he did on AJ (even though AJ got all the blame for hitting him back). I DID like his funny faces though. A good taunt always gets a chuckle out of me.

 

Joshua seems to take some time to switch off the 'killer mode' after a fight.
Remember the Wlad win.

He's a bit of a sadist and a bully but it's almost as if he's always a little surprised himself winning.
Hey, it's a fierce game to be in.

I have no idea why he was calling Pulev a "*****" before and during the fight.
He doesn't have the charm or charisma to come across well trash talking. Just seems a bit childish and immature nasty. He's not the only one.
It's as if he adopted some of Jarrell Miller's dialogue.

 

To be fair, his rabbit punches were a response to AJ's constant neck-hold.
He was trying to thread some of those punches to the side of AJ's head but AJ was clasping him so tight and close, like a long lost brother or lover.

 

AJ is at his cringiest when trying to act like a bad man. He’s a suburban African school boy. People seem to think otherwise just because he sold some weed lol.

 

Apparently the dislike was mutual and the post fight bitterness ran both ways. Apparently Joshua did the normal thing any boxer does after stopping an opponent, he went to his corner to recognise his opponent and his cornermen but Pulev started a verbal again so it continued being bitter.

 

what did pulev say?

 

He called him a big dosser

(In Bulgarian)

 

I didn't notice. I guess I was jealous of Pulev in the moment lol

 

Pulev went head to head and screamed in his face. Joshua didn't react other than banging gloves , so no , I don't think his behavior was classless.

 

Thats not being fair , you just hate Joshua. . Joshua didn't make him rabbit punch.. Pulev's inside game consists entirety of rabbit punching. He throws rabbit punches while clinching in all off his fights.

 

No problem !!!! Pulev was talking **** before the fight

 

Yes, and Joshua was hanging onto his neck. I don't have a problem with that. Don't hate Joshua or his neck hold. It's all good.
Joshua's adopted the Wlad 'grab and grab'.

 

AJ and Pulev both equally took part in the fist bump macho actions, both were smiling/laughing, 2 warriors had fought, the 2 warriors both agreed to fist bump afterwards, unsure how any of it was classless.

Combat sportsmen being 'aggressive' with each other before, during and in this case immediately after a bout, neither AJ or Pulev were going to let their opponent 'win' the fist bump game.

 

Any top 10 HW on any given night can stop AJ, I think he is a bit insecure about that fact. The man just does not take a shot well. If someone taps his chin again he's going to have flashbacks of the ruiz fight and probably have a panic attack in the ring. The way he reacted to some of those ruiz punches was like seeing a beginner boxer spar and get hit for real for the first time in their life.
