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

Nobody is denying that, in fact. The point is he probably lost the fight even before the fight.

 

Does Floyd Patterson get to use these excuses for his Liston performances?

Good lord, Joshua got his @ss beat by a fighter, a fighter who didn't fold or cover up under heavy shots and instead fired back with well timed hard shots of his own. This wasn't in the script and Joshua can't fight off script.

 

This will be a waste of time.

You dont suffer panic attacks and fight Klitschko in your 18/19 fight nor go after 90K filled stadiums,im assuming most haven't been on any type of event stage on here bc that would indeed cause panic attacks if one couldn't even handle 20K ? Give me a break , are you guys reading what you're suggesting ? ...lol

The concussion details from his sparring partners are more likely true but im not even sure on that now,if we could find out why AJ Father was upset that could be the answer ?

 

Oh I’m sure he was! He knew he was actually going up against a very good opponent who was actually in his prime and not close to retirement! I bet he was real uncomfy.

Panic attacks, neck rubs, NOT HIMSELF because he was biting on his ****ing gum shield (He did that all through the Whyte pre-fight announcements) he got KOed in sparring so he was feeling a bit vulnerable the poor ****. Just stop it. STOP. He lost and was in his same lab induced shape as he’s always been. And if he was suffering panic attacks because of the terror of facing a top 10 HW in his prime... that’s on him. Weak mentally.

 

Exactly.
and .....
........ I can't remember anyone giving a **** about whether bums like Eric Molina, Charles Martin and Gary Cornish were having panic attacks when they had to face a menacing Joshua in front of his own crowd.

 

Panic attacks and anxiety-linked episodes actually produce real physical symptoms that usually include breathlessness, chest pains, dizziness, tunnel vision .... etc.
And they cannot be diagnosed as anxiety or panic until the person experiencing them has been fully checked out by a doctor.

So, it's highly unlikely he suffered these for weeks or months recently.
The fight would have been called off because he'd have been submitted to extensive medical tests.

The whole story is BULL****.
Internet age BULL**** at that.

 

You're boring. I agree that all these excuses are BS and at the end of the day Ruiz beat the snot out of AJ, he isnt coming out
with any excuses for his loss and neither has anyone in his camp. But you post like some teenage girl on her period, so full of
negative emotion, whats wrong with you? Turn your emotions down. At the end of the day, AJ got caught with a decent punch and never recovered. It's not like we as boxing fan's weren't aware of his vulnerability when it comes to taking a decent shot.
As for weak mentally? An olympic gold medalist, who won a world title inside 17 fights, fights regularly in front of 90k fans and fought back from the brink against Klitschko isnt someone who is weak mentally. Dont let your hate for AJ or his fans cloud your judgement or make you post crap and as for the gum shield thing, he never did that in the Whyte fight at all, dont resort to making things up, the full fight including announcements are available on youtube to prove you wrong. Anyone who takes a sustained beating and gets up 4 times does not to me come across as someone weak or lacks heart. He got caught with a shot, whether Ruiz is the better fighter, he certainly was on the night
thats for sure.

 

There was no Internet back then

 

Man sitting calmly while watching YouTube clips of old fights as he gets his hands wrapped and is.... wait for it.... breathing = panic attack

LOL.

 

Couple of rumours coming out that he was concussed by Joey Dawejko a week before the fight. That sounds a lot more plausible than panic attacks, which I didn't really see any sign of.

 

Total BS.

He got walloped by a fat guy....live wirh it damit.

 

Mike Tyson would pace up and down, left and right like a manic in the dressing room before fights and shadow box. Lol people will be like he is having a panic attack. The excuses are laughable. AJ could not deal with a punch in the face. Its an eternal problem.

 

I'm not sure there was anything out of the ordinary. I didn't see it. AJ looked the same vs Pov, I think.

Panic attacks about what, just fighting? Afraid to lose? That's a problem if true.

 

Sorry dude , I normally agree with a lot you post but that's nonsense. I started suffering with panic attacks terribly about 5 years ago. Most of the time I'm fine, then out of nowhere a routine event can almost become unbearable. My main example of previously travelled a lot, loved flying etc.... started having anxiety attacks randomly and then one time I'm terrified.

Mental health isn't that straight forward. Some days I feel on top of the world , others I struggle to get out of bed.
