    I'm not even sure what we were actually supposed to be watching there (I had no sound)..

    Looks totally normal..

    Reaching. Trying to look for positives where there are none.

    The person who made the video could've overlaid the footage with any music of their choosing and it wouldn't have altered the perception of what's going on in the captured dressing room footage.

    There's footage floating around of him getting wrapped up for the Povetkin fight and it seems pretty similar there.
    He seems to be staring into space but he is likely watching the coverage of the undercard and no one is bothering him because that must be how he do.

    Watch any Hoya ring entrance. He loves the old jaw stretch and neck massage.

    He will prove it even more emphatically in the rematch.

    What's "strange" about his behaviour?

    He is obviously watching a monitor with the undercard on it, getting his hands wrapped, everybody else is standing around him staring at him..

    What should he be like? I don't understand it.


    If anything that proves there was absolutely nothing wrong with him before the fight, he actually looked better than I imagined him looking.

    Tell me about it. If there is footage of Joshua's dad being restrained and it is overlaid with Scott Joplin's 'Magnetic Rag', it would be construed as nothing more than harmless banter. :lol:

    Indeed. Shills need to stop making excuses for Joshua, and give Ruiz the credit he deserves.

    Please someone do a video with AJ’s daddy going after Eddie to the Benny Hill theme!

    How about he was stressed fighting in the US for the first time, and had muscle tension, so he asked for a massage? Jesus Christ, get over it. He lost, because he got his ass beat from pillar to post by the better man., with the faster hand speed, better timing, better gastank and better chin. It is what it is, and no amount of excuse making is going to change that or rewrite history. Now go shed a few more tears in your beer over your bodybuilder hypejob, maybe that'll soothe the pain.

    lol you really hate Joshua.

    To be fair to Joshua he hasn't made a lot of excuses himself, seems to be just getting on with it.

    Add the blurb "AJ looking chilled before x fight" and people would buy this also.

    The music is definitely a strange thing to add.

    I wonder if people would have been posting this kind of nonsense about 'something obviously up with' AJ if Ruiz had not got up from the KD in the third? And yet all the same 'evidence' would have been available. And if so, would we be able to establish a direct correlation between AJ's mental and physical well-being and Ruiz's mandible?

    dropped him because Ruiz was knocked off balance i think. If Ruiz was hurt, that right hand that AJ landed literally straight after Ruiz got up would've knocked him spark out, still don't understand how it didn't

    Horror films without music and sound effects are worthless. Much like this leaked footage...
