    Apologies, and I really don't like Joshua.

    But why didn't his team demand the 5 minutes, if the referee deemed it a low blow

    I just don't understand

    I don't think it was even low and AJ didn't complain. If he was smart, he would have done a Usyk.

    It was literally lower than the Dubois shot on Usyk.

    It didn't seem that low but it was classed as a low blow by the only person that matters. AJ should have taken advantage of this.

    Had he taken the 5 minutes the gassed Dubois would have gotten a much needed rest and come out even more explosive.

    I actually thought it was smart to decline the rest.

    You need to rewatch it again if it was any lower he'd be punching Joshua's knees. But in the end it didn't matter if anything the low blow might have saved Joshua from getting stopped sooner as it gave time for Joshua to recover a bit more.

    Exactly.
    Why didn't the corner just demand it.
    I didn't think it was low, but the ref did

    Just take the tim v

    Just one of many mistakes Joshua made. Like just before he was stopped he was dropped and jumped back up right away instead of staying down and gathering himself. Also showing up to the arena late, is never a good sign either. He's mentally shot and all the talk of him being a fighter to the core is obviously false, he's simply going through the motions of being a fighter now and probably has been for quite some time.

    But surely his team could have shouted up....
    Take the 5 min or something, no disrespect in playing by the rules
