    When did this concussion supposedly occur?

    Did he get in one last sparring session before he showed up at the arena that night? Give me a break.

    Because the whole fight week was essentially filmed ... down to the doctor talking to Joshua as he left the ring asking him if he had a headache or if he felt like vomiting, and Joshua just smiled and said no, he was fine.

    When, during all the open-workouts, the final pres conference, the official weigh in and all that, did Joshua EVER look concussed? Ever sound like he was out of it? Ever do anything other than look extremely confident?

    In this clip, at the end, the doctor speaks to him and he just laughs and says he's good.

    In fact, in this clip, he said he was biting down on his mouthpiece to warm up his jaw, because it was made of rubber.

    I think all these stories about him having a concussion or suffering one that week is a bunch of crap.

    Ruiz beat him up.

    THIS. Great post with facts and video.

    Dude was basically a walking reality show leading into the fight with cameras following his every move. Not a single sign of trouble until the third round.

    If it is panic attacks then breathing exercises are the way to go! Would explain why he was so slow, that stress from worrying about a panic attack coming on would’ve soaked up extra oxygen
