Re: AJ didn't quit, he was waiting for the ref to replace his gum-shield. Fact.
There's gonna be loads of stories come out , some true , some not. Without making any excuses for him , because he was beat fair and square, I think he got mildly concussed in the 3rd round and didn't know where he was and couldn't recover. it looked like he had a couple of shots hit him on the top of the head, and while they didn't look as damaging as the shots he got hit by Wlad with , they obviously had more of an effect.
But even before he went down in the 3rd, it was looking like an awkward night for him and he wasn't sure how to cope with Ruiz's style.
And this is more important to me than the TKO, it's the adjustments he is capable of making for the rematch so that he can control the fight.
I think this is where we find out a lot about AJ AND his Trainer Rob McCracken.
