       Are you saying he filmed the post match press conference before
       the fight ? He looked fine then.

       He looks to me like he couldn't care less.

       They've triggered the rematch clause! No surprises there though.

       Loads of British HW's talking about Joshua being knocked out in
       sparring.
       No surprise there Wolfy.

       that crossed my mind (despite arguing that any world champ
       should be at the top of their game enough to adapt) I would have
       thought if you spend a while having trained around meeting a
       certain fighter and style, almost ingraining a degree of muscle
       memory in response to what you expect to meet, a change of
       fighter could leave you open to weaknesses not trained/prepared
       for, no? (And yes, I appreciate the same prep issues applied to
       Ruiz).

       Unfortunately AJ doesn’t prepare for his opponent. During
       interviews he said he’s only interested if they are a southpaw
       or an orthodox. He just practices the basics to improve himself.
       ‘If I’m the best I can be, nobody can beat me so why focus on
       them’
       Lots of rumours doing the rounds that he was sparked in sparing
       which destroyed his confidence and caused a panic attack in the
       dressing room pre fight. His dad wanted the fight called off but
       Hearn insisted it went ahead. That’s why Dad was shouting at
       Hearn post fight.
       Who knows for sure. Excuses always come out after defeats.

       Yes, been hearing that about the KO over the last day or 2.
       Every opponent in every sport has a 'reason' for their loss, way
       of the sporting world and probably makes the loss easier to
       swallow if you can put some blame somewhere, interesting that
       the stories for his do mesh together, circumstantially at least,
       with the actions of AJ and others

       AJ as recently had that HGH look about his midsection IMO.  Only
       subtle but shows in some pics

       Agree Tri , but it could be natural , he does look like a high
       HGH type person.
       As for getting sparked out in sparring , that's always gona
       happen if you've got a glass jaw . Might be the best thing for
       his career this loss . Never did Lewis any harm but that was a
       super punch of Rachman . Seeing how out of his depth he was in
       this matchup shows very low fight IQ , an opponent he should
       have dominated completely. I think if he sparred with Fury he
       would probably retire, but thats the kind of opponent he needs.
       Very bizzare to see possibly the most well built and genticlly
       gifted specimen of a heavyweight  to be so lacking.

       TBH Doc, I worry about him taking the rematch with Ruiz next
       fight.
       David Price messed up his career when he re matched Thompson
       after a bad loss and it all went wrong.
       Bit of a class difference but same principle. :D
