    Disgraceful.

    He knew how Joshua was going to box this whole time. Not pretty, running away and point scoring. And it worked. Ruiz failed to prepare and box in a way suited to this. Joshua did what was needed, even if he ran and clinched. It was expected. Credit to Joshua for that.

    Ruiz could have won this, and pissed this away at the weigh in. Very ill disciplined. Frustrating to watch, as he won't get a rematch.

    What happened is Joshua had his legs this time the whole fight.

    And Ruiz has the tools and style to break it down. He's just a fat ****ing slob who can't stay away from burritos and cola. Resulting in this terrible performance.

    I think Ruiz got paid millions for both fights and achieved his dream of being a HW champ, set himself up for life and he probably didn't want the spotlights on him for the rest of his career. That's the only explanation for him coming in so much heavier.

    Agree. Ruiz blew it. 284 was too heavy. His moment of glory has come and gone.
    Credit to AJ.

    I doubt it's that. He is just that lazy, ala Buster Douglas. Real shame as well.

    He just did not adjust to the adjustments of Joshua

    Joshua dropped weight, came to move and box, and fought very carefully

    Ruiz had no real answer outside a few brief moments

    Performance was fine. He did not gas from the extra weight and he fought his fight. It's not a disgrace to have shorter arms than the other guy.

    I doubt Ruiz thought Joshua would run all fight.

    Props to Joshua. He fought the right style, and won. If they fight a third time Ruiz must work to cut off the ring. That will be the key.

    If the fight comes down to exchanges, Ruiz will stop Joshua again. It's up to Joshua to prevent that, and Ruiz to make it happen.

    If Joshua did this the 1st time, their wouldn't have been a rematch.

    He came in out of shape and unprepared

    Joshua is always the better boxer but he gave himself 0 to no chance at 20 stone.

    I’m glad he got schooled. To everyone complaining about how Joshua fought how about putting the blame on Andy “gained 16 lbs because of my sombrero “ Ruiz.

    I think once the saw AJ was losing weight he knew he wouldn't be able to compete so he just sailed for the last part of the training camp..

    He needed AJ to get sloppy to win and he knew that wasn't going to happen..
