That was a masterclass fight by Joshua. He did everything he needed to do against a fighter of Ruiz's stature and ability. Joshua kept his feet moving, and fought from the outside, where he could not get touched by Ruiz's power. My one criticism is that Joshua would get himself into trouble trying to clinch. He wasn't clinching with any conviction, and got caught with some shots. I know some would think that fight was boring, but I was very entertained, because Joshua showed some serious boxing skills. Such a smart game plan.
