sky picked up on it, and its something I've noticed in his previous fights he blatantly landed 2 punches after the bell, and hit gavern when he was on the floor, he did the same in this last fight I think, it would be good to see the ref actually doing something about it, as if he does it in a more meaningful fight, his opponent may just do a dirrell and get AJ disqualified.
I think that's the 3rd fight he's done it now. If it's a meaningful fight he'll definitely get DQ'd. In the post fight interview he didn't even know he'd done it, or tried to deny it. He needs to sort it out now before he gets in big fights and ****s up.
No it happens with one or two punches while the opponent is on the way down, but not when the opponent is clearly down and the ref has already called a knock down and is counting. AJ is a serial cheater who isn't confident enough of his power that he keeps hitting his opponent when they can't defend themselves not to mention is a serial rabbit puncher Last night Artur Beterbiev hit is opponent on the way down but stopped the moment he fell, he didn't try to bypass the ref to keep hitting the guy because he knew the fight was over. He didn't need to cheat because he knows he's the real deal. AJ has to convince himself that he is the real deal because deep down he knows he's fraud who already got his ass whooped by rookies in the amateurs
Confident turning over 11 opponents who were taxi drivers, p.e teachers and pensioners. What a record hey!
hes a fighter, over exuberant at times anxious to get a quick ko with guys he thinks he should be getting out early, but the referee has to jump on him for this, if he thinks hes getting away with it (preferential treatment in my opinion) he wont stop
Beterbeiv stops them and walks off calm and collected knowing they are done. Joshua still has that little bit of inexperience he doesn't know when they are done yet so he keeps throwing. He ll learn.
winning comment. aj the evil c**t should do mma if he wants to punch people while they are on the ground. especially an overmatched bum of an opponent that comes in on 1 week notice to help pad aj's record further. tells u all you need to know about aj.
For hitting a downed opponent, what should be happening, (and it seems pretty obvious and within the rules already) is that they should be given up to 5 minutes recovery time for the foul, as well as the possible points deduction. So it may be scored as a knockdown round, but they don't have 10 seconds to get up, but rather perhaps 5 minutes. If that's enforced, then fighters may be screwing themselves if they try it.
