I believe they said Ruiz was up by 1 on two cards and Joshua up 1 on the other....not 100 % positive though

I’m delighted about the judges scoring matching my own.

Ruiz Jr. was clever, he paced himself well, his bodyshots were excellent, deeply impressive timing, and his fast counterpunching was highly effective.

AJ was reckless, had no game-plan, he didn’t pace himself, he didn’t effectively use his size advantage to control the distance, he loaded-up, didn’t use the jab and tried to go toe-to-toe with a heavy-handed fighter whose combos were faster than his own.

Joshua fought an unintelligent fight. He lost his composure and was defensively irresponsible.

A lot of people seem to think that AJ “lost the fight” rather than Ruiz Jr. “winning it”, with the outcome of the rematch already considered a foregone conclusion, resulting in the Brit inevitably reclaiming his crowns.

I’m not so sure myself. AJ’s problems appeared to be due to his lack of boxing ability and also his apparent lack of discipline. There are a lot of issues to be addressed.

Ruiz Jr’s speed and counterpunching is a massive challenge and the main issue to overcome.

I expect the Mexican to be much better for their rematch, he’ll be fitter, much lighter and slightly quicker, especially with six months to prepare, with lots of funds at his disposal for a much improved training camp (i.e. facilities, team & decent sparring partners).

I honestly don’t know how AJ adapts his fighting style to negate Ruiz Jr’s superior hand-speed.
