Ruiz new AJ was about to quit before the ref even called the fight

If you can't see it, it's because you don't want to see it.

 

Now why wouldn’t I wanna see it?

 

Which is why Joshua denied that he quit after the call, after the fight, any chance he could get to the media. Am I right?

 

If A,J had put I his guard up and stepped forward the ref would of assumed he wanted to continue...A,Js body language said otherwise.

 

I don't see Joshua as a quitter either but whatever you want to call it he clearly didn't want to fight on and did a bit of a pretend protest when the ref ended it.. As atlas said, he didn't have that fire to do anything possible to fight on and try to win. I guess the other question is where is that line of it not mattering how strong your mindset is when the other guy is just too good? I guess there is a bit of evidence to suggest Joshua wasn't quite himself, personally I agree with what Atlas said, AJ isn't in the same mindset he was when he won the championship. This coupled with the fact Ruiz is very good and has a bad style for AJ didn't help.

 

id say after the first he never really recovered

 

Contrast Fury's body language after that devastating 12th round knockdown against Wilder, with Joshua's surrender stance at the end of the Ruiz fight, Fury went out of his way to let the ref know he was prepared to carry on, Fury is a born fighter compared to the production line boxer that is AJ.

 

Yeah, he was getting hammered by a tank with uzi like cannons.

 

Lol AJ was actually relieved when the ref called it off and was shamelessly fakingly trying to protest but you can tell from his body language he was relieved. Contrast that to Lewis against Mccall 1. He also had a wily smile on his face after that. This guy does not have the stomach for a dog fight.

 

Wanting it to be over is one thing, quitting is another.

 

Had the ref let it continue Joshua would have immediately went down at the very next touch, his legs were gone and he was completely gassed out.

 

I guess you missed the Joshua v Klitschko fight

 

like i posted in another topic days ago, joshua was given 23 seconds to recover before the referee waved it off, it's like every single person still doesn't see what happened there.

 

He refused to step forward.
