Very impressive by Joshua, composed and boxed his way like he should but probably wasn’t expected to.

Academic fight for AJ. Even when he landed clean he wouldn’t push in too close.

Just a bunch of blokes keeping the belts warm for Usyk.
There’s no chance he outboxes any of top 3 heavyweights for 12 rounds + avoids a bomb that knocks him out

AJ stuck to game plan. Very effective.

Well done Joshua for fighting the smart fight. Easy win in the end. His head movement will never be there, but he's doing the best he can with the tools at his disposal.

Back to the big 3 merry-go-round, then.

Absurdly comfortable for AJ. It wasn't wildly entertaining, but he won the way he needed to. He completely outboxed Ruiz and looked as though he could've gone another 5 rounds.

119-109 for me. Like a Klitschko fight: knew what he needed to do and remained disciplined. Excellent boxing. Ruiz!s condition was embarrassing though.

Master class from AJ, honestly didn’t think he had the disciple for that type of performance
