2nd and 5th I had for Joshua.

1st, 3rd and 6th for Ruiz.

4th was difficult to call, could have went either way.

JOSHUA THROWN 47 JABS IN THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS.

And people is saying "he needs to throw jabs in the rematch".

He did it, and he thrown a lot of jabs, almost 50 in the first two rounds...

Ruiz might not only have the fastest hands in the division but also the best chin. That right hand he took straight after the knockdown might have slept most of the top 10.

His only obvious weakness is his rather limited footwork. Holyfield danced around Douglas to expose him, Joshua will now have to do the same to Ruiz, and he will.

I suspect Joshua's recklessness was fueled by a desire to produce a spectacular win, like Deontay had just done. Not a good plan as it turned out. (no sh1t Sherlock )

“I knew we had made history,” Robles says. “Andy had become the first Mexican heavyweight champion of the world. But now I think everybody, of all ethnicities and backgrounds, from all over the world, won. We identify more with Andy – although Joshua’s a great guy and an unbelievable athlete.
