"I love Adin but Jesus Christ," another said.
"He looks like a f**king cat doing the paw thing," one said.
However, one fan backed in the novice fighter.
The Twitter user said: "Adin is a beginner, how are you people judging him.
"If anything the coach needs to accommodate, tell him to use his feet, be critical of how he is throwing etc... how is Adin supposed to know if he has never put gloves on before."
Ross responded to the vitriol with a livestream update scolding his haters.
Ross said: "Everything’s going to progressively come together.
"That was my very first time putting on gloves like that.
"I want to see a lot of mother f**kers who were there talking s**t with their fat nerdy asses that are going to be in the gym the first time.
