Some interesting developments regarding AJ 10:42 - Jun 4 with 3298 viewsMrTown

Seems to be developing that AJ was knocked out twice in sparring leading up to the Ruiz fight. Wanted to pull out of the fight but Eddie Hearn convinced him otherwise. Apparently this is why AJ’s dad was livid with Eddie Hearn after the fight.


Poll: Would love to know the opinions on here now of Lambert genuinely?

he looked concussed from the end of the third round onwards, though that would be down to the knock downs in the third, Was caught high up on the head which for some fighters is where they are susceptible. Think there is /was something that happened in the run up, but don't know why Peter Fury would have the inside info!

Not sure whats worse.... getting knocked out sparring, or getting knocked out by Ruiz.

No conspiracy theories, he lost the fight, end of.

To be fair to AJ, he's showed a lot of class and made no excuses.

Yeah, getting knocked out by an 18-stone Mexican with super-fast hands is a fcking disgrace.

Because he'd not heard of Ruiz before he's just assumed that he must be no good. This is despite him being, at best, a casual fan of the sport. Ruiz has always been a talented fighter, he's only lost once and not everyone agreed he lost that fight either.

Meh. It's heavyweight boxing, anyone can knock anyone out.

Although it is a 'shock' defeat, it only seems greater because of the AJ hype train. Most US correspondents said how tough a fight it was beforehand, tougher than Miller by all accounts.

Its a fight he shouldnt be losing, but I agree it only takes one good punch to land.

AJ seems a likable guy. I hate all the hype / over hype that goes with him, and he would do well to get his team to tone that down... it doesnt seem like him.

What do you mean by hype though? He's in the media a lot because he's popular and was the unified heavyweight champion. Nobody in his team or elsewhere has ever claimed he's an all time great.

Hey man, chill. Take it up with footers, he brought it up.

You dont think that the AJ brand has been in any way inflated by his management and promotion team? Thats what the whole 'breaking america' tour was about.

There is a video online somewhere online where Joshua is in his corner (I think at end of 6th) and he's saying something like "Why am I feeling like this though?" He looked totally gone.

I'm kinda glad he lost. He's been poor last few fights. He'll either come back stronger and dominate again, or, get ko'd by Ruiz in a rematch.

Either way, It's all about Dillian Whyte, he's our next champion IMO, trouble is, Fury, Wilder and AJ are all scared to fight him.

God yeah, who'd imagine that the unified heavyweight world champion would want to try and break the US? How outrageous. He should have had a couple of low key fights in the York Hall instead.

AJ has already fought him and offered him a rematch earlier this year? Agree that Wilder and Fury don't want any part of him though.

Hey, just making a point about the hype.... which you denied.

Play it down if you like.

It's an odd definition of hype. Hype would he loudly declaring that an untried prospect is the best fighter in their division. AJ had unified three of the four titles and beaten a number of top ranked heavyweights. It's not hype to say that he wants to break the US, is it?

The same Whyte that AJ beat and was down on the cards going in to the 11th against Chisora in his last fight?

AJ hasn't been poor in his last few fights at all either.

Can't quite grasp why anyone would want a good British role model to lose a fight.

Lets agree to differ.

I've raised doubts about AJ on this forum before and was shot down in flames by people who claim to know boxing.

...it appears that my judgement on boxing is preeeeeetty goooood. ;-)
