full

of confidence and joshua is the first to score with a good left hook. I have to be mindful of that Ruiz jab that came in at over 20 stone as Joshua cut back looking for mobility and trying to keep the

fight

at range.

First thoughts by Darren Barker. He absolutely has to stay active. We know how dangerous Ruiz is. he is and badly hurts anthony joshua several times in new york, so expect a very disciplined display from anthony joshua. He will have to work well behind his jab, that will be his game plan to try to keep things at distance much easier, said from the commentary positions. to do it within those ropes he has a plan and wants to follow it the champion has other ideas the pride of mexico loves being the champion he enjoyed that discomfort he calls madison square garden and wants more of the same his life has been transformed quick hands, good boxing brain, I come to a very tough amateur school and I'm looking to destroy Joshua again, but so far in this first round, Joshua's game plan is going wrong and Ruiz has kept his distance, he has good moves, good work for part of any Joshua, very patient start.

So far, Andy Ruiz halfway through, this hasn't really yielded much just by taking a look, but again Andy Joshua's movement and jab are good. Joshua doesn't care how he does it, he wants to win, that's all he wants. win and come back to the UK with those belts, he's been calm and collected, sharp and focused, no distractions, coming to the ring and throwing a good right hand in there and it's that one cut around Ruiz's eye we'll find out that this is a start of dream. for the challenger with white trunks from watford, england, anthony joshua from mexico quick hands fighting instincts look at the concentration in anthony joshua's eyes he's really on fire boxing very well in this first round patient start from

ruiz

but good things from joshua, good job.

The jab has been the most telling blow of the fight so far. All business is on Anthony Joshua Ruiz, the bully, but he's having a hard time getting in range of him as Joshua throws that left jab again, that's the right thing to do. Joshua's right hand followed him again. The blood begins. to filter through ruiz's eye this is a good start from anthony joshua a good start and it's ruiz on the receiving end that's ruiz who's bleeding is bleeding and he looks a little distraught because that was a good right back throw but there's a Cut to Ruiz after the first round, yes well, he staggers when he takes the blows, as you would expect from a 20 stone guy, but he absorbs them, Josh, how encouraged Joshua will be by the fact that he cut him in the first again, um, we realized that What was left of the last fight didn't rush him right away, but one for the ladies and the gym, very relaxed, light in the first round, Joshua, that's Ruiz, there's a Called heavyweight champion, he remains 23 stone away.

Second on that list is Ruiz, but don't worry. fooled by the physique he is a fighter a brilliant amateur mexican educated by cubans while he managed to pass he also has a good jab and he showed it there joshua's head jerked back he has to be careful he has to keep his gloves up because if he gets into problems, can joshua handle it? That was a worrying sign for Anthony Joshua, the power of that just keeps walking forward, very patient, starts from Ruiz, hasn't let a lot of things go, but doesn't waste anything, but there's that right hand again.

Aha, that will give anthony joshua a big incentive as he backs away and ruiz run moves towards him. The last opponent who was so lucky, but not lucky, took the jackpot at Madison Square Garden. He's winning a big purse tonight, not as big as Joshua's. The form, but he loves being world champion and he wants to keep them. Meanwhile, Mexico's Joshua has to keep his boxing brain aware that he got the result early, he's got the cut and who's the left eye on him midway through this second round? deep concentration from both guys here i see aj on and he has to be because ruiz is stalking him walking forward looking very dangerous but not wasting anything he is boxing according to a plan here we will get to joshua at the end of this round with the right hands.

There and Louise sensed them and backed away from us. Both men cut the first two rounds. They didn't complete this fight, living up to all the expectations that collide in the dunes of Saudi Arabia and you're struggling to separate them right now, albeit Joshua's superior style. could be drawing the attention of the judges who knows last 15 seconds second round both men cut a good left hand from anthony joshua ruiz takes it barely blinks this tough man comes forward at the end of the second joshua should continue remember this pen it only takes both men are damaged in these first two rounds that was the jab don't underestimate ruiz's jab but a good hook from joshua hit both men and cut the first two rounds here we go with the third ruiz advancing oh business his parents are here like this that Joshua's good feelings among the rival camp are not so good in the room, of course, yes, you also know what it is and he has to be very careful because if he falters like he did at Madison Square Garden in Ruiz, There is a man who has been through the boxing mill and he is exactly how to finish things off with the jab.

He works well from Joshua and he's also lighter on his feet, he just takes that with less weight, lighter on his feet, more mobile, I've already seen him bringing it back. to the chin instead of his waist as it was in the first fight, good defense from joshua there, but again marie is stalking anthony joshua, a fighter so intelligent despite his corpulence, which he has always carried and wears lightly and also with a smile and has been joking a little about how much he weighs exactly, but he makes that mistake, the jab is good, the hands are fast and the feet may not be the fastest in the business with a very effective and very difficult fighter to win only joseph parker managed to beat ruiz and that was in new zealand and that decision was controversial to say the least and when ruiz had the opportunity at madison square garden he took it and has the taste of being a champion who does not want to give up his legacy already created by becoming the first world heavyweight champion from Mexico, but that is not enough for him, he wants to continue reigning in this division, it is a great opportunity for him, but he has to overcome this challenger and Anthony Joshua, who is desperate for obtaining their degrees.

Back Boxing, well, a lot of movement on Joshua's part, so I think this weight that he's out at will help him be more agile, be able to move more last time, he was very muscular, wasn't he, he, was, Wasn't that what I am? Noting here what we're seeing in this fight is different angles and you know when Josh is moving he's not moving in the same place he's going to his left he's going too this is confusing news good shots of the bodyguard yeah , good things about Anthony. joshua de aj four titles on the line here and a good round for joshua este as we move towards the end of this yes, ruiz realizes that what he believes is that he can't believe he has to do the job inside the distance , he is very aware of what happened in new zealand he doesn't want it to be repeated here and they get a good chat from anthony joshua taking that shot they told him he had to do he didn't do it in madison square garden this is different joshua is here and uh Ruiz doesn't know.

You've got a very disciplined AJ this time getting back to basics, really working well behind that jab. Good stuff in the corner. He put in three months of training camps. This has been very tough on the champions here as he tries. To hold on to those titles, all in Madison Square Garden, four rounds, Joshua has probably started, better, never discount Ruiz Jr.'s skills and quick hands, proud this time, desperate, he was just going to touch the moment he thinks that Josh is moving just as unknown. great tactics joshua here tonight yes absolutely on we can see exactly what the game plan is from the beginning to the heaviest outbox was about to say slowly not slow over the top but definitely the feet are slower than joshua's and this is well good boxing is what we've seen him do very well in the amateurs capturing that goal in 2012 and it looks like he's getting back to basics here working well behind that jab.

I think you're going to try to appeal to Louisiana and try to get him there. right hand joshua is dedicating his life to this sport of boxing but it is dangerous in his mid 50's he says he is not ready to quit yet even though he has enough money for several lives and he wants to reestablish what he considers is there, he is present, he knows what's going on, they didn't touch him, he knows how valuable these rounds are, he doesn't want him to get away, especially with these tactics. Ruiz, you've had a very good start here, certainly compared to what happened at the Garden, it's better to start at miles, the flight was falling apart at this stage at Madison Square Garden in New York, not this time Joshua restored a little the normal serve but was still stopped by Louise, was surprisingly big over the right, Ruiz, who is finishing this strongly and only by in a moment when Joshua took two more behind the back of the head of the round, Joshua was in that round overall and for the first time he looked a little taken aback there, a couple of those close right hands definitely stunned, ach, let's take a little look.

In this there was that overhand right to the head, then the left hook and suddenly those quick hands became apparent and he was on the back foot it was Joshua and we looked to see if that was a temporary or permanent big finish to that . Small words of the last round of referee Luis Babon, the 53-year-old Puerto Rican, those are fierce exchanges inside and Ruiz, the champion, outplayed them. What he looked like when he was under fire, there, Anthony Joshua, yes, it was a big cough shot straight to the back of Aj's head, we've seen how vulnerable he was in that area in the first fight, so maybe it was a Maurice's tactic of trying to hit Aj as he came close and trying to land around the back and side of the head and at that point we saw why the big debate was brewing about this fight, could Joshua change it around what happens When does he get into trouble?

And we have half an answer there, Ruiz, you know, sometimes he has a hard time moving forward. quickly with his feet and his hands go in front of his feet and sometimes he falls short as we see there, but going back really does Joshua good again from Aj's look at what's behind that jab and again lovely work. his timing really looking for the opening for that right hand, he doesn't want to overdo it and come up short very comfortably there, standing for 30 seconds and finishing pretty strongly, joshua here and after those uncertain moments at the end of the quarter, he's come back quite a bit. well, on the fifth good style, keeping Ruiz at bay, that cut is bleeding a little down the side of Louise's face.

However, he shouldn't have any real impression in this fight and we'll get Josh Bratz's thoughts at the end of the round. the whole building and don't forget the loss at Madison Square Garden was his first since he was an amateur in 2011, so they trimmed it down, lost some muscle, went back to the basics of boxing. I've gotten rid of a lot of commercial stuff while preparing for this and so far, as we get halfway from the stage, another right hand from Aj Leonard flies in the sixth round again, you see the lead hand there again that he held. he took it out, he closed it, he moved for less money, excellent material from former champion anthony joshua, who is advancing in this fight as things are, but as we all know, Ruiz, the fast hands, the Mexican has it in his power to change things. very, very fast, in fact, he keeps stalking Joshua, he seems to be following him, following him around the ring, instead of Joshua fighting as if they had such difficulty balancing, a real psychological blow for him after what happened in New York, so many theories launched. no one really knows the truth, but we're seeing the truth, Joshua's real deal up there, now the pace is falling short a couple of times, he seems to be following Aj around the ring instead of cutting them off, but it's good discipline sensible anthony joshua boxing in a minute great job that will do we'll take that one i'm not sure what it is in mexican but i'm sure he feels the same way right now it's joshua a fight inMarch Joshua's way as we move towards the end of the six, as Joshua said, moving both ways creating angles, making it difficult for Ruiz to calm down, getting a little frustrated at the end of the six, I have to find a few more shots destructive to live up to that nickname tonight. he had joshua a little bit in the fight joshua has been calm and executed his game plan tonight because josh rosen starts with his hands he seems to become incompetent he must know that he is ahead but he must also know that Ruiz is a dangerous, of course he is yeah, I don't think there's any need for Ruby to despair, there's still a way forward in this fight, but Randall escapes, yeah, and Aj is boxing with a good very disciplined display so far, working really well behind Joshua here , but it has to be done. be very careful good right hand again Ruiz, but real joy and real success for Anthony Joshua in the seventh round with the disparity and a bit of chatter between the two there and Louise maybe trying to destabilize them and maybe at the moment like she did at Madison Square Garden.

He's been focused from the moment he took those 102 steps from his dressing room through a bit of drizzle to the ring, absolutely focused on the business at hand, shoving that left arm into Ruiz's face, making it very difficult for The Problem. Ruiz getting in there and getting close is what I've touched on before Ruiz's feet move too slowly against Andy Joshua's nimble feet and move so well we have to remember the last time Ruiz came in as a late opponent, an unknown quantity, Joshua, one of two things bothered him, but this time the ruins were a completely known quantity to Joshua.

He knew what to expect too from a good right hand from Anthony Joshua and so far he has handled everything impeccably, as indeed he is doing exactly. what it should be, so I'll pass it to Ruiz and think about how I can win this contest and what he needs to do. He needs to close the gap. You need to start betting now. No, these rounds are slipping away and Aj does it. have the comfortable advantage of believing that it's good to throw everything ah now, look closer this is not good enough stalk him stalk him just plod along and that's it, that's more correct, that was a great right hand and for a moment he exchanged at the top of the clubs and to me that's what Ruiz has to do, he has to screw him up, he has to make him lose concentration, that was right, and it indicates exactly what he was saying, he needs to start forcing his clothes against exactly what what he has done, he has taken a step to put himself. the jab goes, but Ruiz is still a lively and dangerous champion, as anticipated, he won't go out with a whimper here in the desert and I think he knows he has ground to make up and he knows he has to have some kind of stoppage in the last 30 seconds.

Eighth round, if he wants to keep those titles, he needs a real injection. Desert Rui's pace and power prove it a couple of times and what's wrong with Joshua? He got caught with a left hook while Joshua Rob McCracken will be desperate. To get a big finish here he has to be behind in points, but he's had enough encouragement in that last round to believe that he's going to repeat the outfield treatment with Joshua and Joshua, even though he said to rob McCracken in the corner. . I'm fine, I'm fine, he knows he had moments there he'd like to forget, yeah, get back to the game plan now, behind that jab, keep moving, try to get Ruby a little more of a lead right hand and Ruby needs to start clinching. that gap. he sees some damage in the last round, he is getting close and this is where he wants to be released occasionally and it is difficult during the last rounds for aj anthony joshua, great british support here, the mexicans are also here in force, the local saudis have flocked and Everyone is wondering which direction this moment is leaning towards Anthony Joshua, but there is still a little distance to go, expecting a little more urgency from Ruiz coming out for the round, but I think Aj has notified that urgency with a good boxing discipline that returns.

Going back to basics, we've seen him do very well in this competition working well behind his moving jab, you see there kind of ruins, almost shoulders, like you see, stand there and fight me, but why should he do it if he has the points back? As he has done and certainly eh, Ruiz's body, good things are moving again. Joshua doesn't care how he wins. He has come here to get a w. He's not worried about putting on a show. He doesn't care enough. He has come here to win. and get those titles back and he's carrying out his game plan, he's got a little smile on his face as well as a couple of those punches coming from here with a big left hook and so back and he's joshua on the back foot , frenetic action that lasts the last 30 seconds. of the night signs of frustration from ruiz who is desperate for aj to trade with him he has to be sensible he has to keep that boxing brain on it means the last few seconds are still fascinating the families are here i'm here all the time i say that not the most entertaining, but we don't care if he gets the win, oh good right hand, Aj took the sting out of that one, good shot from Ruiz though.

I hope he starts throwing the kitchen sink at Aj because he's after the cards. In my opinion, he wants to keep these titles, he has to let go of his hands, that's a good right hand from Joshua again, beautiful distance between the two while Josh Grazie keeps telling us that throwing the left jab is a very effective tactic . and Canada could well be called into action at the end of this, the way things are shaping up, but with heavyweights you never know and you also wonder about his conditioning, although he shows no slowdown carrying 20 stone for 10 rounds If he has to find a different face if he is able to do it well, do you know what he said?

I'm just looking at Ruiz and he's just following Aj around the ring. You know for some, but uh, yeah, you know, I just think you know for someone. who's been boxing since he was six you're just following your opponent around the ring he needs to clip the wing you have to try and catch aj in the corner you're not getting me right oh

andy

joshua is boxing while he's moving lovely but there's not enough urgency to part of luiz louise losing his titles will be anthony joshua getting on the plane tomorrow with the belts it looks like this right now never rule out the mexican as world champion because of what he has done in the past but if you are worried about this going to the judges, you have every right to be now because the judges are sharpening their pencils and adding up their scores and joshua is really composing, he's doing the job with a certain style, joshua is building just as we see it. unless the judges have seen something very different again from anthony joshua joshua surely has a big points lead here your kids will be told the most important punch in boxing is the jab and we have seen white today and those who dictated the competition behind That ramrod jab, whether on the back foot, is still a great scoring shot, as Kepler is thinking it's really up to me.

Now what can he do from a boxing point of view? You have to look at this and say it's an absolutely outstanding performance. from joshua so far what he has to say so far this is heavyweight boxing anything can happen to himself but just grab him stop him from work and stop him from taking freeze shots and come back after that jab joshua a man who watches thousands of hours of boxing, a true student of the game watched his fight at Madison Square Garden many times figured out what he did wrong he corrected it here and he's surely headed for a w and he's surely looking to put those belts around his waist once further.

Louise now with less than four minutes to sort things out here, she's doing exactly what she needs to watch, plus the energy, she looks so fresh in the 11th round, she's moving but still has a bounce in her step, a fast jab, beautiful and charming, very good. conditioned, we know this from aj, but this is one of the best I've ever seen him physically because he moves really well, that's what he thinks, why did they take the weight off, obviously, right? It's because you wonder if He could have fought like that with that extra weight and that extra muscle.

To me, he looks much happier at this weight and he is on his toes to win this round again as we take a round towards the end to go after this. anthony joshua an assault for ruiz and now is the time to intensify the concentration now is the time as the finish line gets closer and closer to joshua yes, excellent support from many brits who have also come here, good right hand from luis and so joshua hold on like you would do exactly the right thing if you're not going to move just grab older rubies stop him from working that's exactly what he's done just have to stay on move move if he knocks over the kitchen sink like I say that if you want to keep your title you have to let go of your hands he is the first heavyweight champion of Mexico joshua has everything to lose after the way the fight has gone so far he shouldn't get involved he shouldn't get involved in a mega mega punch fest there a little blood is still dripping from the side of ruiz's left eye no problem for him that has not had any significant impact on the fight that jab coming out of joshua again now this is beautiful beautiful the other boxing beautiful joshua and he has fought a fight immaculate so far has a minute 26 to go with anthony joshua has restored the balance he has silenced the skeptics who somehow feared he would walk away if things went wrong tonight, not after a display like this from joshua omg me like boxer has boxed well he has boxed according to the plan he has canceled out ruiz's quick hands he has taken a bit of punishment and is back and has a minute left to go darren does more of the same just keep doing what you are doing lovely boxing stay away from the ropes and the corner keeps moving it's their fight to lose now it's just not Louise's urgency is it there?

I'm not sure he has anything left in the tank. Ruiz 40 seconds. to go and joshua wants to get going, would you believe that he is not calling the shots at all? He's very happy with the way things are going and Louise continues to move forward, but he still can't close that gap significantly in the last 25 seconds and after an endearing fight that Joshua tried, he instead got a small smile from Ruiz Junior as he moves forward. these are the last second of the big right and joshua louise is running out of time his corner celebrates the desolation on ruiz's face by andy ruiz jr they surely use joshua's night redemption in the desert for anthony joshua is back in great style eddie Hearn up there celebrating with him and a regulatory look, a head shape also from Ruiz and deep down he must fear the announcement of the three judges of the feelings. from the USA from Gray from the UK and Roussel from Canada and Joshua is standing on board that so you better give your comments, it was fantastic, it really was, look, wasn't it the most entertaining fight I've ever had? seen.

He didn't care one bit, he did it, he didn't care, of course, it was necessary for Jim to get that victory and he did, he was tremendous boxing textbook material behind the jab, he didn't get greedy like Joshua, when He said, don't overdo it, let Ruiz go. In everything, but the movement was fantastic, I think of a mention to Ángel Fernández, who was incorporated into the team with Rob McCracken, he really created great angles, good movement and that for me was a tremendous display of discipline that will allow him to regain his title . No doubt his dad is in the ring with a big smile on his face, a big smile, he also hurts his face, that means that we have seen the same fighters as everyone else and that it will be Joshua who will be fine, i guess. the new one, but he is the old one, if you know what I mean, yes, order, order, go back to where he was before, I have no doubt and those who feared coming here to Saudi Arabia thought maybe it was the wrong move, maybe they should have gone to Cardiff or something, well they don't seem very smart either and now we have the official verdict for you ladies and gentlemen, let's get to the scorecards after 12 rounds of boxing.

Glenn Feldman and Ben Walrus are 118 to 110. Steve Gray gets 119 -109 all three cards go to the winner by unanimous decision the fighting pride of london england and once again the world heavyweight champion the man known as aj anthony joshua here comes the confetti when the fight started I was convinced there was going to be fireworks you know Ruiz's big right hand felt that and that's where the car opened up yeah luckily that didn't cause any problems or cause any problems, sorry, as the fight went on and then from the second round onwards there were again more shots that Ruiz started. to do it again, slightly connecting with his own punches, as we see, a good jab, but he could never close that gap enough and there was a cut that opened up the frantic Joshua again, but it never caused him any problems.

These were some scary moments. If you wereAj fan because there were some coughing hits to the back of the head that wobbled a little bit but Kate came right back and the jab is exactly out of order of the knife restored there behind the jab moving when she had to do it yeah the ones times became greedy. he got carried away, but that's understandable, he's a fighter he likes to get stuck in, but it was, you know, sometimes he got hit perfectly, very well, you see they keep him moving for a long time when he had to, already You know, although it wasn't completely filled. leverage and overall power on shots, they were scoring shots and they were enough to give him most of the rounds and you know, I'm glad the scorecard reflected the performance of the discipline.

He calls it the sweet science and it was the jab that got to Sweet Science tonight, he didn't get involved and in the end, uh, Ruiz was so frustrated because you can feel his frustration, he wasn't as mobile as he wanted, he couldn't communicate with Joshua and I knew I was. on a big uphill pedal towards the end of the fight, yes you know we did it, you knew we were questioning his weight, the 20 stone he carries in the ring, you know we know how, but I've seen aj in the gym I've seen how well he can move and how disciplined he can be and he showed it there and ruiz only adds to the blame when it comes to form but here we have the two time world heavyweight champion tremendous sport returns this by anthony Joshua
