    Strange bunch. So having a Mexican player makes them support Mexican Athletes over British ones? Very odd.

    I think getting hit in the temple did for AJ. Confident he will win the rematch.

    If he has the hunger to do so. A lot of quit in AJ last night. Camps are hard, the politics of the sport is hard. Being the poster boy is a full time job on its own. The endless endorsements he now has all take time to manage. And then he spent most of his time talking about Wilder and Fury before this fight.

    He spent most of the fight looking quizzically at his trainer who didn't have a clue what to do when things got tough. He looked past Ruiz and when he realised it was going to be a tough night, he folded like his hometown team at Wembley.

    The beaming smiles in the ring, the back slapping of Ruiz and the complimentary words were very very strange to say the least. I'm not sure he's all that fussed he lost.

    This wasn't a shock one punch defeat like Lennox and Tyson had against McCall and Douglas, this was a systematic destruction by Ruiz.

    I'd be surprised if he comes back from here, a horrific loss like that changes a fighter when it's against a A-list champion let alone a chubby Mexican who shouldn't have laid a glove on him.

    He's lost his fire and aggression and seems to have actually regressed over the past couple of years rather than improved.

    If he loses the rematch he's finished.

    Protected against the likes of Whyte, Takam, Klitschko, Parker and Povetkin? Have a day off, one thing he isn't is protected! Twenty-two pro fights before last night and has done far more than Wilder and Fury put together in half the time!

    You literally have to be either brain dead, completely biased or a mixture of both to call Joshua "protected" considering the fighters he's faced. Fighting and beating Whyte, Klitschko, Parker and Povetkin, even Takam and Ruiz, is the opposite of "protected" 23 fights into a pro career. If anyone's protected it's that fraud Wilder who has nothing on his record bar Ortiz in double the fights.

    That said, Hearn is ruining Joshua. Last night was literally Rocky III. The golden boy who has become more interested in his "brand", celebrity status, money and media appearances than his boxing, which has suffered massively as he's lost his eye of the tiger. He needs to put all that to one side and get back to being a ****ing animal again.

    I'd say he's not being protected rather that he is not being tested enough these past few fights. Complacency has crept in. The worrying thing is that he was laughing and smiling after the fight, he should be gutted after losing four belts to a good boxer but not great.

    Like I say, he's completely lost his fire. The whole thing was bizarre.
     
  9. How can he lose to a guy with man boobs?

    Totally bizarre.

    AJ is one of the most likeable sports people out there, but his boxing skills remind of Frank Bruno. He will win a lot of fights due to his size and power. But he is not a great boxer.
