I would slightly disagree that the Ruiz fight brought Joshua's self doubt. I had a small bet that Ruiz would win by KO that night. Ruiz was brave, had a good chin with fast hands and shots that came in bunches - Just what Joshua didn't need. For me the doubts surface after the Klitcho fight. Yes he came back brilliantly to win but he was shown to be very vulnerable both with his stamina and his chin. Remember how worried and fazed he looked on his ring entry to the first Ruiz fight.. Yeah his self belief had drained away even before a punch was thrown against Ruiz. I hate to say it but Joshua was a good fighter but not a great fighter.. Fury has been a bit hot and cold but he is the nearest we have had to "Great" since the days of Lennox, Holyfield, Tyson (Mike) etc. You say Joshua has gone backwards, Well, Heavyweight boxing has gone backwards too in many ways.

[@RoadsideGee]

Had to make another video on AJs failings? He really is your idol isn’t he 😂😂

[@BoxingFightsByGaryWilson]

Many fighters suffer the indignity of a devastating defeat when their career draws to a close.

[@Henrik.S8]

Fun fact: the ring side/pillar position Dubois knocked out Joshua was the same pillar you KO'd George Groves.

[@967mviews2]

Don't stroke his ego anymore! Thank fook the attendance smashed his tiny £80k! BTW, Calzaghe would have pummelled you for 12 rounds. Everyone knows that including you Carl! You've admitted that countless times in the past. All on KZbin!

[@967mviews2]

@rmc4091 so just look at the belt and ignore the boxers he beat. Your logic is totally flawed like your punch drunk grammatical errors. Reply when you're able to grasp a basic level of English, and able to provide substance to the debate without being completely ignorant.

[@Henrik.S8]

@@967mviews2 look who's writing. As if you are providing any substance to the debate with your childish behavior. Also, regarding "punch drunk grammatical errors", you were obviously standing in front of a mirror when replying because pummeled is spelled with one l and it's _fuck_ , not "fook". You're either a grumpy little kid with adhd throwing tantrums every now and then, or an adult with the mental capacity of a child. Sad. Go back to school.

[@Henrik.S8]

@@967mviews2 look who's writing, you can't even spell pummeled, and as for providing "substance to the debate" you're doing a pretty good job doing the opposite with your juvenile behavior.

[@967mviews2]

@rmc4091 so you class the WBO title as classless and worthless, yet some of the most credible, best, and greatest boxers in history have held that belt. Mercer, Bowe, both Klitschko's, Usyk, Thompson, Haye, Kovalev, Canelo, Beterbiev, Hearns, Eubank, Calzaghe, Benn, McLellan, De La Hoya, Hopkins, Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Crawford, Marquez, Lomachenko, Hamed, Morales, Barrera and Inoue. I think you get my point. Reply when you're able to comprehend what adding substance to a debate means. Other than that, I wish you all the best with your punch drunk recovery. 💪

[@robz8701]

This is superb Carl. I know we can all be smart after the event but superb insight in regards to the corner and how bad the advice was. And you nailed it in regards to AJ post Ruiz, the fire went out that night

[@roymunson1]

AJ can go get his shinebox for all I care at this stage.

Everything you say is spot on. Excellent analysis

[@Hologhoul]

I know you're mates with George now, but it's a bit belittling to always keep mentioning that you knocked him out. George must be mellow as fuck not to tell you to put a sock in it sometimes. You're both class acts of British boxing.

[@therealchrislamont]

maybe George isnt a snowflake like you appear to be

Do you know groves? If not, sit on your judgement.. let’s see your skeletons since you do no wrong in your life

@@lobsterblacc9478 That's a strange one, mate. It's just an opinion, no need to get worked up over it. I like both guys.

[@Breadking100]

How did Ben Davidson not scream KEEP FAKING YOU GUARD UP! AJ couldn't time or stop the jab as DDD was sneaky with his range. But AJs hands were down almost the entire fight, and keeping a higher guard would have taken the sting out of many of those jabs. The jab was the key for DDD,AJ didn't even come close to adjusting to it, and he got stomped as a result. The most basic boxing fundamentals is what AJ needed to focus on after round 1, and there was none to be seen.

[@jamesjarrett52]

He has now been completely outboxed twice and completely destroyed twice. He doesnt deserve the profile or the plaudits anymore. His career is over.

[@aliwhittington3674]

AJ thought Dubois was more hurt than he was. He was still alert and kept his guard tight and as Carl said it didn't take a huge shot to drop AJ. Really clever short right hand was timed perfectly

[@jaqmart]

Have gone over to Bisping's commentaries - this is too much about Froch and his jealousy of Joshua. Bye Carl!

[@garethrevell5873]

Carl always says the Truth. Tell you what though touch of class checking in with AJ, you can't buy Class so fair play for that Carl. When are we going to be getting an hour long Collaboration with Porky's Corner? Come on Carl you know it makes sense.

If he rolled the dice and succeeded, everyones tone would be different. All armchair wankers.

[@georgeoshea9961]

Best intro ever hahaha.....I think that interview with Warrington was great - I really hope he takes your advice and takes some time to rest and makes decisions on his future in the new year - personally, I have always loved his fights, he always puts it on the line and there's lots of good fights out there. It's just good to see him smiling. He is also a really interesting guy and a good talker - he could look at KZbin as well.

Where were the adjustments? Keep your hands up ffs.

MBE is genuinely NOT a compliment. It tells you all you need to know about a person. 🤢

[@paulkirby2761]

He couldn't handle Daniels power. Sure, he got bad advice and boxed poorly yada yada yada but the reality is even Daniels jab was backing him up and snapping his head back. The punch resistance just wasn't there, before Daniel dropped him in round 1.

[@newrybhoy74]

Absolute masterclass of analysis and fight breakdown from The Cobra. And a superb respect ladden interview with Yorkshire legend Josh Warrington. The Internet is full of clowns with opinions. If its real analysis you want forget the rest Carl Froch is the best. He lays them all to rest. (Bit of a Lennox Lewis line there Cobra....get The Lion on for one pf your in depth specials)

[@shughl1]

This was a completely different perspective on the fight that I was given. I really appreciate this as I've grown up watching boxing most of my life but never boxed professionally so this inside examination and application of knowledge was very insightful. Looking forward to more content.

[@FrochOnFighting]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ziondiverse1799]

Salute you @frochonfighting for finally saying what so many have missed. Ruiz finished Joshua.😮

Great interview and spot on advice for the Warrior Josh Warrington 👏

Wat a legend I met you in Vegas at the frampton fight gentleman love the video keep them coming there's not to many can say they are a hall of famer💪👌

[@timothylumley6077]

Love to see you and Joe! I think that would be a massive sell at Wembley especially from people like me that wanted to see that fight! My money would be on you! Because I always told my buddies that I always backed you! Just wished you would have continued! But probably for you it was time to get out on top! But I still think you are definitely the 1

Interesting to go back and watch your chat with Ricky Hatton a few months ago. You were both giving Dubois a decent chance.

[@robski3753]

My two picks for Dubios would be Kabayel or Parker. Both on the ascendancy and would make exciting fights

[@daveycrocket1306]

I really enjoy your content. Thank you Carl

[@antwan.]

if you watch closely at the start of round 4, AJ actually got dropped with a Dubois jab. right at the start he caught him with his very first jab, there was a little scuffle which led to AJ hitting the canvas

[@imadkhan4148]

Great channel Carl your content this past week has been brilliant keep up the great work.

Thanks, will do! 👊🏼
