Not a convincing boxing performance at all but he did enough to do the job. I bet Ruiz walked away thinking if I were to do that again I would win?
Boxing is about levels and this was clearly shown to me last night.
Whyte was poor, very flat footed, no stamina, both men just trying to bomb each other out, like British title level.
Povotkin was lucky for me but I cant say the yank offers much either or should I say a threat to the better guys in the division
Upper a level Joshua and Ruiz which was a poor fight but it was about the result
Up another level Fury and Wilder, and for the fore mentioned it’s quite a step for me, Fury the supreme boxer by far and Wilder, he can just land those killer shots

Well I bet Ruiz is regretting putting on all that weight now ! the rematch whenever it happens lol will see a trimmed down fatman Im sure
I was amazed AJ stuck to the plan right too the end too..................well it worked he has the belts back so fair play to him

McCracken had him boxing tonight, fair play.
Needed to be composed and did a job but was more a formality than a spectacle. At least the Saudis got some rounds for their zillion quid

No matter what AJ did tonight he would not make everyone happy.It was being said before he was to muscle bound,he trims down he gets slated.He boxed to instruction,got the job done which I did not think he would.He has come from humble beginnings and is a very wealthy man for that I say well done.

Joshua boxing to instruction, just had to to win

Contrasting styles in which I enjoy seeing a boxer keeping a fighter at bay.
Well done AJ stuck to the gameplan.

I've said for years Wilder would DESTROY AJ. That fight has not changed my mind.
AJ danced his way to the belts. Mind numbingly boring fight.

Joshua boxed well thought it was an awful fight .

Job done for Joshua 
Boring fight but tactically he was superb, nice short popping jab and superb movement. Massive learning from the first fight, worlds apart, he boxed this time
Still the 3rd best heavy weight in the world. Wilder of Fury soon I hope

Think the same, he is not a natural, very limited skills. Poster boy of British boxing and to be fair he is a good figure head for the youth. Just laughing, watched the 7th round again where Ruiz puts it on him, clueless in defence 
My current thinking, being caught up in the pre fight build up is, has RMcK changed him, if it’s possible to get the job done? Basic skills for fighting a smaller fighter is the upper cut on the way in, can’t see how he can throw it without been seriously countered
My deep down thoughts are, he doesn’t stand a chance, Ruiz has his number and once you have somebody’s number you could beat them time and time again
One thing for sure if it comes to Joshua sitting on a pile of belts for the next few years fighting bums, I do hope he loses. I would love to see Ruiz fight Wilder, I would fancy Ruiz chances
