Could listen to McCracken coach all day. No shit, no ego just pure boxing acumen
I'm not a boxer so I may be wrong here but I thought he was giving too many instructions at once, kind of rapid-fire. The fighter can get confused.
tlig that’s a good point and as an boxer myself that can get distracting if they’re not the best coach but McCracken’s able to see things at such a rapid rate that everything he says is brilliant, sound advice. If it was from him I’d love it
Old skool Brummie, proper gent
There's a reason he's the coach for the UK Olympic team. They're all the best of the best pure boxers in the nation and some other great yet unorrhodox talents tossed in.
Fuck You Budday that’s for sure. Come to think of it he’s one of the most under appreciated figures in british boxing. Drove Froch’s career, head’s GB and of course AJ now and despite AJs limited natural talent and lack of long years in the sport he’s worked wonders with him. Was a decent pro himself in his time as well
Rob seems like an excellent coach and him and josh seem to have an excellent bond
Oops
@@JJ17PlaysFM ?
@@LuisMarvin brilliant
“Seems”... key word
He’s trash bruv
I can't believe rob mccracken got all the blame for the ruiz loss rob has played a big part in reviving boxing in Britain he played a big part in Britain getting gold medals at the Olympics
Jamie Bushby that’s straight facts. And I’m sure Rob would’ve trained AJ the same way he did the second fight if Ruiz was his set opponent in the first fight. Cause styles make fights. And AJ beefed up and prepped for Miller, not Andy. AJ came in with a form and physical capabilities to fight Miller, not Ruiz. But he lost and it’s all good cause he bounced back
Well said my friend. It was just nob heads showing their lack of morality by saying what they would do. AJ is a man of good character and great morals and that is why I have always supported him and will continue to do so. Wilder is the polar opposite and could learn a lot from AJ.
It wasn’t Robs fault, their team just needed more expertise
Worse part is how everyone blames him that AJ lost to Ruiz but forgot that it was also thanks to Rob who helped AJ achieved everything thus far which includes defeating whyte, obtaining his world champion status by easily defeating Charles Martin, then beating others like Wladmir, Joseph Parker all of which made him gain all those big belts and successful defences against Povetkin and other big tough boxers. I can't remember what the saying was but it's one of those where it doesn't matter how much you achieved and contributed, the moment when something fails suddenly you're all bad, everything is your fault, you are being hated etc. I'm so glad that AJ stuck with him and AJ was a great man, pretty much telling people to lay off from him, not his fault, he is a great trainer and he is keeping him and on that day there wasn't anyone to blame at all and Ruiz was just the better man. It's really good to see rob does what he can and AJ in return respects and believes in Rob. Ultimately we saw the results, AJ winning the rematch which we didn't hear from those people again where they should be thankful that Rob helped and contributed to AJ success in the second fight.
You cant help but respect how hard they work outside the ring
Give us AJ VS MILLER FACE OFF
The left Bollock Eddie Hearn won’t let it happen because then there will be no context AJ

They don't even want to show "How Anthony Joshua trained to get BEAT UP by Andy Ruiz"
@@simplyballing1592 but he trained for Miller and not Ruiz, he was a replacement ,I heard.
Je veux devenir Côme lui
This win is still so underated. AJ was a pro with only 18 fights fighting a future hall of famer with 68 fights under his name. Also that version of Klitschko was one of his best versions I have seen of him even at the age of 41 and he came in with a good gameplan using all his experience, and almost pulled of the win. What AJ had to overcome in the 5th and 6th rounds for an inexperienced pro was incredible. It really was a fight for the ages.
are you dumb ? klitschko was far past his prime when he fought joshua,thats why joshua agreed to fight him in the first place because AJ knows prime klitschko would kill him thats why he waited
@@rover5058 you must be the dumb one saying something like that. Go back and watch the fight, and tell me Klitschko didn't fight well, even if he lost.
Veron why he waited I don’t think Joshua was fighting professionally when klitschko was in his prime mate
@@mikiy84 first of all, joshua got lucky and win with klitschko. Second of all, klitschko fought well but he was PAST his prime, that's what this guy is saying. In his prime, klitschko would destroy AJ.
@@RosvStudios lucky? AJ got knocked down,got back UP and finished Klitschko.there's no luck involved,just pure determination.something you clearly have yet to learn about
I don't really know why people hate AJ for. The guy is not controversial at all. It's really crazy
Gumma Muhumza lol you must have been following boxing for a SHORT period of time. Remember how he refused to fight wilder because he knew he’d probably get KOd? Then he and his cancerous pompous manager blamed wilders camp. Karma caught up to them with Ruiz though
systemspm the problem is matchroom and eddeh around him saying he’s a great HW of all time
@@systemspm8055 I been following boxing for the longest. Wilder turned down 120 million dollars to fight AJ. These are facts, and Wilder also fired his manger for arranging the meeting between himself and dazn. How can joshua dunk Wilder. If Wilder himself turned down 120 million 🤔🤔
@@paver9661 I mean they suppose to say that. If you don't think or believe your great or your the greatest you shouldnt have any business to even start boxing or to be boxing at all.
@@systemspm8055 it was clearly Wilder ducking , he avoided all the deals and sent a contract via fax machine that wasn't even legit
AJ is such a normal regular dude. Smart and well brought up. Warrior champion.
Stop ducking and diving and just upload Joshua Miller gloves are off, that’s what we all want to see!!
joecee67 of course, but we the fans can be the judge of that!
why? what happened?
Frano Vidovic apparently there was just a lot of fired up trash talk between them. And a freestyle competition
Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully even though I disagree, that made me laugh 🤣
@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully who in the heavyweight division has a better resume out of interest?
AJ’s combinations are rapid to be fair. Most boxers are the thunder in a storm, AJ’s the lightning.
@sc00bydoo10 AJ will stop Fury and would destroy that bum Wilder in 2 rounds tops
@sc00bydoo10, no they wouldn't. Tyson fury would beat them all
@sc00bydoo10 I'd be interested to hear why you think he's overrated. He's an olympic gold medalist and is among Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson to have reclaimed his world heavyweight title. He's much more technically gifted than Wilder and I think he could beat Wilder in a head-to-head. Fury is extremely skilled and has an excellent chin, so I really don't know who would win. I honestly don't think Fury could bully AJ like he did Wilder, and AJ's combinations could prove troubling to Fury. Would be a great fight regardless.
sc00bydoo10 and what great people has fury fought then
SSKawhii Have you ever heard of Vladimir Klitschko? Yeah, Tyson went to Germany as the underdog and took all his belts
AJ will go down as one of the goats for sure you have got to admire the mans work ethic... people will point to his defeat against andy ruiz and say he got dropped 5times the fact that he got up each time says alot about him. every champion has a good day and a bad day at the office but he rose up and absolutely outclassed ruiz in the 2nd bout when alot of people wrote him off tells me he has winners mindset got alot of respect for him 👍👏
I love AJ so much. His love for the sport is amazing and he brought back love to the game. Keep going high. We love you more. All Africans are behind you. My name is Denoo Saviour from Ghana

Now I see why Wilder ducked AJ for all those years.
Wilder doesn't want to be humiliated. Lol
Baby Ting ahahaha yeah yeah ain’t nobody wanna be embarrassed like that 😂
@@YinkaArinolaAbidingTV Humilated against someone who goes down 4 times again Ruiz. Ok
Tyson Fury said Aj ducked Wilder.
@Shuddhasattwa Chakrabarty he said that on jre Podcast. He sounded serious.
I fully rate Aj for this he’s definitely humble but yet hungry like a lion he will go down in history as one of the best heavy weight champ G.O.A.T 🙌🏾
If he beats fury and Wilder his resume would basically be the best in history
@Mike Mike No way Fury will school him. Joshua struggles against technical fighters.
@@archiesutherland6127 bro not even close fury is good but wilder is a bum compared to the legends of boxing history
Anthony "do you know what I mean" Joshua
Sam Mackenzie “100 percent”
Absolutely admire him as both boxer and a human being, great role model. God bless you my friend.
Good to see that his trainer is very care free with stuff he tells him helps a lot with the mental stress of the fighter 🙌🏾
AJ had no business in that ring with Vk, just show AJ is lionheart!
inerit old VK
@@andreasmengri6554 Old VK who Wilder was too scared to fight.
Actually watched all of this when I usually just skip through vids like this. Good stuff
Rob is truly a great coach
It first I thought like: "AJ's trainer looks like he is fed up with it and doesn't motivate AJ as much as he should do." After a while I was like: "Damn, it slipped my mind that correct fighters don't need to be motivated at all because they already are hungry as fuck..."
Not all of them man. Only certain ones are.
Did you guys hears that trainer telling A.J to give up the fight if vklickov become too strong that it really don't worth it. Dmn
Osita Marc when
AJ's trainer knows him inside out. McCracken has never been someone to bark and shout for no reason. The best trainers don't. They may one or two things a round, and that's it. Adam Booth does exactly the same
This just makes me miss boxing training even more. 🥊
So much admiration for the discipline
Rob McCracken is such a great coach, so calming and encouraging at the same time. I wish every boxing coach was like that
AJ is the most nice person I have ever see among all the boxers I know♥️ 🤗
All these comments "Prime klitscho would of won" like it was prime Aj. Man had 19 fights and been boxing pro three years yet still ko'd him out. Prime klitscho would of probably beaten that Joshua, but a Aj with 30 fights would beat klitscho again.
marcus reynolds prime AJ lost to Ruiz
Shut the fuck up matchroom casual fucking moron started watching boxing with Froch-Groves
@@Wonderkid44Fuck sake it's heavyweight boxing. Have you looked at klitschos record? He losed to people worse than Ruiz. He losed to Ross puritty who had 13 losses at the time.
@@paver9661 So you think Joshua who hadn't even been past 7 rounds was his prime? Someone is an angry man who doesn't know as much as they think.
@@Wonderkid44 and prime u got knocked out by a horse's peanus
This was a great fight it was certainlys for sure this was not boring wladimir and aj both made outstanding account of themselves all time great fight 😎😎😎
So humble. Can’t hate this man.
Best heavyweight fight in the last 20 years! What a night it was
Yeap! you're right
Aj struggled against him. Klitschko was over 40 years old and Joshua struggled against him. A prime Klitschko would have koed him.
Sexy Dudeuk aj had also been boxing for only 7 years at that point
Sexy Dudeuk they say the last thing to go in a heavyweight is their power, also Klitschko has always maintained his fitness, even in the off season. So I’d say that Wlad in the AJ fight was probably not far off his best.
@@gntyh and???? 7 years is still enough time to learn the trade. As I have watched for years in combat sports youth normally beats experience and to have struggled against an aging veteran is an embarrassment.
AJ is a legend ! OMG
Let’s not forget that he started boxing at 19
I've always said that Heavyweights are different. So much if it is on job training. It's not like any other weight where the power or speed differential is going to be roughly the same and the depth of knowledge is greater. Other weights can find that optimal sparring and can be bought along in the amateurs or pros with the right fight at the right time. If you have the speed and power at heavy you're standing out to a degree and can dominate without learning the well rounded fundamentals or having the right learning fights the way a middleweight with great technique but limited power will. AJ appears robotic but has the heart and work ethic to get what he needs from his career.
Same time as wilder but wilder still has shitter boxing ability
And probably does more boxing then you
I can't believe klitschco had that kind of endurance in the fight. The man's been fighting the best for couple decades I swear
If Joshua’s personality is genuine then what a gentleman if not he would be a great actor.
It's quite simple, when have you seen him act any different? Look at the people he has around him? When have you seen him giving it the large one? Just go by what you see, no point inventing stuff, treat the guy how you would want a stranger to treat you, who never met you in person. Compare him to the shyt you see come out of Wilders mouth, this boy just wants to represent Watford where he grew up, and is open about when he was being an arsehole, ant the end of the day the kid has has less than 25 fights and has 4 belts with one pro loss, credit where it's due.

Anthony Joshua is my favorite boxer currently. He motivates me I myself am trying to start an amateur career. I'm 28 yrs old kind of old to start Boxing at this age. But to me age is nothing but a number. And I'm motivated just hopefully I connect with the right people in this amazing sport.
Keep going bro. I started old to , well for boxing. Started in late of year 2019 im 20 now.
@@da.kidd.productions Yeah I would of started at 16 but I wanted to graduate High School plus I started working right away once I graduated lost 3 jobs. And made the decision last yr that I would pursue Boxing. My goal is to qualify and compete in the 2024 Olympics. As well as turn pro. I live in Houston Tx now but I'm trying to relocate next yr to Brooklyn. Hopefully I meet the right people in this business to have a successful career. Good luck bro. With your career.
No age is not just a number, if u had slept with a 8 year old ur one fucked up guy she ain’t just a number
Hayduh it doesn’t apply to everything dude.... age is just a number in the context he was in. In your context, yeah that’s just wrong.
This is the fight that made what heavyweight boxing to what it is today !! 🔥
That leaning which the coach keeps on telling AJ to eliminate cost him the Ruiz 1 match. I am glad he is improving as seen during the Pulev KO
This is the best thing I’ve ever watched
Mega team up AJ and Rob! Representing us to the fullest! Road to unification is in his hands. AJ is the only fighter that can beat Fury!
ha! Fury will frustrate the hell outta him., joshua struggles against technical fiughters. He has never faced anyone as big arkward and rangey like Fury. Fury will school him
@@sexydudeuk2172 All the reasons why AJ will beat Fury. Its Fury who has yet to come up against someone as athletic and ferocious as Joshua. As a boxer myself, I know styles make fights and AJ is just all wrong for Fury. As a brit, it's a win win for me as they're both ours.
Fury knows this deep down.
All these AJ haters all over the world are just jelous!! The mans a speciman a monster in the fighting game
Jealous*
@Mosley Shoahs yes sir sorry sir
Just because people say hes not the best in the world it doesn't make then haters
George Dolman it kind of does though. He’s up there with the greats. A more balanced view can easily see that. Therefore when it’s not acknowledged, you can see how that ca impress as hate or jealousy. IJS
Any one who hates AJ is very stupid and useless
This series should be called “Inside the Ropes”. Makes so much more sense to say that than “Behind the Ropes.”
But it’s about what goes on outside of the ring
That would actually be dope
If anything it should be called “Outside the Ropes”
Man !! To be on the TOP it take a lots as you hatters can see!! Big up king 🤴 Joshua 👏👏👏👏👏
Anthony is a really cool and grounded guy👌
A.J for real 💡🙏🔥❤️more Grace and strength to you to overcome all of them one by one both the old and the young one. You are number one worldwide💯💯💯 🔥🔥🔥🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬.
AJ is very professional.. never seeing him out of shape
Great master - great apprentice.
This is a good watch
Joshua the Champ👑🌍
2x
2 x and reigning King
No shame in losing! It’s part of the game.Its how you bounce bk my friend..Do u have the character of a champ or chump
AJ great fa boxing great personality dnt runn up his mouth LOVE HIM
Robs voice is soothing me
He doesn't sack his trainer either when the going gets tough unlike ruiz
Forgot to mention AJ's great timing. Waiting until Klitschko was 42, schooled by Fury and with a 2 year lay-off was great timing.
Klitschko was 40 not 42 and it was 15 months after fury so both beat a old klitschko so let’s not try this bullshit again alright.
Aj was a prospect when klitschko dominated, theres no way he could have fought him that early in his career. give the man some credit
agt155 klit was a spring chicken against Tyson just 40
It seems that’s all boxing is nowadays; prime fighters beating old legends getting a name and then only fighting 2/3 guys in their prime before they get eaten up by the next young fighter
Pretty sure Klitschko was training them 15months. Klitschko and Aj agreed to fight 8months before the fight
Is this full footage? Is there more?
Nice to see how much AJ respects Rob. Joshua should never lose he explosiveness probably his attribute still just be more wiser with it and to the right opponent.
The fight was amazing.
Very dwn to earth Dnt forget his bk yard BLESS MAN
AJ has had to work and work and work to get where he is so many different training techniques and world class fitness center at his disposal and got to the top which is an amazing achievement...but just show how much of a natural fighter and freak of nature that Tyson fury has, started his career in a caravan and had non of these luxuries and still won every belt available. Both amazing athletes with completely different roads to the top love them both
Such a great game🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
How did AJ train to get his belts back???
yes good question
Long distance running he trained with mofara aaaaaaa
Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully your telling me Ruiz jr the fat bitch he even admitted that he is a fat boy😂
@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully AJ claimed to have health complications after the 2nd fight.
@Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully your username is devoted to slagging off khabib and here you are shitting on AJ. God your parents raised you shit 😂😂
Ive realized how stupid it is to imply Joshua was ever ducking Wilder after auditing Wilders resume (All bums except for Stiverne and Ortiz) + Joshua fought Klitschko, an old Klitshko sure but he was still dangerous as we saw.. Really Joshua's resume compared to Wilder is miles apart
What a night
What’s the song called at the end ??????
Great stuff
BOTH GREAT...
Started at age 18. Most boxers mentally developed from kids. AJ learning on the job and listens to his trainers. I think after Usyk loss he needs to make adjustments. Needs a Great cardio trainer. And added trainer that's a legend . Maybe American trainer. Rob McCracken has plateu with Joshua. AJ needs something fresh. He needs that old spite and Tiger back
funny seeing all the praises of mccracken, the tale seems to be different now a year can be a long time
YES KP IT REAL AJ BLESS U
Wow, Joshua is the fucking unit, just raw power...
Correct G!
The Best coach
AJ, u can set as many foundations as u which to but the choices your son makes is in the lap of da gods. AJ's up bringing was tough, with fewer opportunities as he is hoping to create for his son and he (AJ) is hungry to succeed and grow.
I wonder how AJ would have done in this fight with less muscle like the 2nd Ruiz fight.
Maybe he'd have boxed to a decision win ..
Best heavyweight prospect from the street up in 30 years. His record is amazing
I need to see where he practiced for that uppercut
Osibamowo Moyo Punch from the gods?
AJ = Motivation 👊🏿💪🏿
whats that song at the end of the video ?
I don't understand why all the casuals want to see AJ Miller gloves off when all it is is fake promotion for the event. They had zero personal beef whatsoever, like most fights.
They did have beef. Aj doesn't like miller. Aj said the only two fighters to get to him was whyte and Miller
@@nerozonez9423 It was never personal. Beef is like Khabib - Mcgregor
Seems some souls value Aj vs Miller's gloves are off than Wilder vsfury3!
19:40 i taught for a moment it was a movie the way it was shot lool
Technical aspect of McCracken is far to stiff, rigid and restrictive. He needed to be more like water. After Ruiz 1, I believe he is heading in da right direction. AJ was carrying to much bulk to flow and control the pase and tempo. Nothing wrong with "falling in" as long as u can counter or slip. A right hand sometimes needs to stretch forward or "lean in" other wise punches fall short. AJ's right hand falls short all of da time.
Technique and craft means everything in boxing.

Good skilled boxer
Thank you Sky Sports for this amazing content. It’s a pity that AJ vs Miller didn’t take place. I really wanted to see Josh break that juicehead American bum.
There’s a lot of haters of AJ and Klitchco here. It really is sad. AJ is one of the top 3 active heavyweights, period. “Dr. Steelhammer” gave one of his better showings in this loss. This fight could have gone either way. Both fighters were in big trouble during portions of this fight. A lot of other fighters ducked Vladimir, even after he turned 40. I watched this fight and a few others with AJ. The one thing that really impresses me is the way he learns. Almost every fight after this he looked markedly better as he went on. A lot of very good heavyweights change very little throughout their career. If you really watch him, it’s like watching a different boxer with each fight. This was one of the better heavyweight fights I’ve ever seen.
Joshua 😍😍😍
Say what you want about aj but at the very least he is dedicated, trains the right way and has the heart of a lion. The real tests for AJ are gonna come from Usyk and Fury. I would like to see Joshua rematch whyte at some point tho.
Rob McCracken is a fantastic coach

These two made such a good team… wish AJ would go back to rob
Can we at least get answer are we get aj vs Miller glovers are off?
No. Untold people would moan that they're promoting a drugs cheat.
Fuck off . Stop moaning , Canelo , fury ,Ortiz billy joe so many more why are they aloud to be promoted but not Miller I don’t agree with him being a junkies but he’s not fighting he’s talking .
AJ is a humble ruthless GIANT with a killer instinct. There's a reason why Deontay Wilder till dis day ducked this Lionhearted machine.
20:30..How can you be around Josh and be in that shape mate?
