I think Joshua had a panic attack last night.

    What would be the reason to be so panicked and anxious? Just because he was fighting at the garden? Dudes fought in front of 90k at Wembley and headlined multiple ppvs.

    Fury when in training and pre fight/in the ring is mentally untouchable. He would never quit in a fight

    AJ quit

    Mental issues may be a genuine issue here tho.. He seemed to go a bit vacant & McCall on us. Very odd...

    Bruno comparisons continued.

    The reality is he was outboxed, outfought, bullied and bamboozled that a little fat man was beating him up

    There is a difference between being battered non stop for 10 whole rounds, then finally get knocked down with your mouthpiece coming off and being knocked down 4 times in 7 rounds. And Tyson when he got knocked down against Douglas in the tenth still had the presence of mind to trying to put his mouth piece back on, many people criticized him for doing so as they felt it cost him 2-3 seconds.

    Not in the Ring. It's out of the Ring Fury struggles..

    Fury showed his metal on the road versus Wilder & Wlad.

    Josh looked like he simply couldn't cope the occasion & offense of Ruiz. His soul was taken...

    Lol so much for matchroom trying to sell AJ again to international audiences when they reference his 90,000 Wembley tickets and then say he was nervous and anxious fighting in his US debut. To be honest, this is the lamest excuse i have ever heard. Its all about what you can do and do in the ring, the audience shouldn't really matter if you know how to survive.

    Fury schooled Wlad in Germany and then travelled to fight Wilder in his backyard in the US. These excuses that AJ was nervous on his US debut are very lame.

    That's bull****, you take a hard shot you are dazed, your are in madison square garden, and four titles are on the line. I think AJ can be forgiven for forgetting he gumshield was out... he ain't the first fighter to do so, and he ain't the last.

    You are oversimplifying the whole thing, and tbh you chatting ****. Easy to talk from behind your PC rather than be in AJ's position.

    No respect for your comments.

    Exactly. You’re proving my point. There was no anxiety. It’s excuses.

    He got beaten up.

    End of

    Well that added to it, but he looked off at the beginning. Multiple people were mentioning it and asking why he looked so nervous before the fight.
