       So you think being sparked out in training 8 days before a HW
       fight wouldn't have an ill affect on performance?
       Forget about his boxing skills or lack of, did he seem to look
       like a super athlete to you? Absolutely no snap or urgency about
       him at all, clearly still concussed.
       Glass jaw? Did you see or indeed HEAR the right hand he took off
       Klitchko, that shot would have knocked a horse out.

       It could have an effect of course , but had he been concussed I
       very much doubt he would have been cleared to fight , the safety
       checks are seriously extensive.  He's a heavyweight whos been on
       the floor 5 times and was lucky not to go down v White. You may
       well be correct something wasn't right.
       Pretty sure every fighter will get punished while sparring , so
       its a bit of a cop out excuse imo, thats if it is the official
       excuse , Hearn has dismissed this and in the post match press
       conference he seemed fine , personally I think he was just
       beaten.

       I watched the whole fight again last night and the take home
       points I saw even before the fight starts :AJ kept Ruiz waiting
       in the ring for 15 minutes, when he does finally appear he is
       constantly stretching and messing with his neck, when he gets in
       the ring the corner start massaging his neck, and in the ring he
       has his gumshield hanging out of his mouth the entire time. Very
       odd indeed.
       We won't now know until the rematch whether he was injured or
       just simply had no answer to Ruiz. The problem was, every time
       he engaged him he was much quicker to the counter and has a
       granite chin. I can't wait for the rematch.
