Anthony Joshua W12 Andy Ruiz... In Saudi Arabia, Anthony Joshua regained the WBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight championships by outboxing a blubbery Andy Ruiz less than six months after Ruiz knocked Joshua out. There were two key differences from Ruiz's win: one, Ruiz was out of shape, gaining 15 pounds since June, and two, Joshua brilliantly executed a stick-and-move game plan. The win wont inspire Joshua's critics, but he and his training team deserve a lot of credit for remaking Joshua's style in just a few months. For twelve rounds, Joshua fought a very disciplined fight, using his jab, foot speed and height to manuever around the 22-foot ring and avoid Ruiz's power. Official scores were 118-108 (twice) and 119-109. Although Ruiz deserves criticism for falling so far out of shape when he had months to prepare for the rematch, he at least put up a decent effort on fight day.  A Joshua jab opened a cut on the outside of Ruiz's left eye in round one, and Ruiz had his head snapped back several times during the course of the bout. However, Joshua never pressed for a knockout, instead using the ring to stay away from his slower opponent. It was a good strategy for a man coming off a knockout loss, but it also meant that there were no must-see highlights. Joshua, now 21-1, was mum about future fights, and his conservative style in this fight certainly wont scare anyone away. However, the next chess move belongs to Deontay Wilder, who is supposedly having his own rematch vs. Tyson Fury in early 2020, a fight that has not yet been finalized.  Ruiz, now 32-2, used his post-fight interview to campaign for a third fight vs. Joshua, but after showing up so out of shape, he should be required to get a quality win before receiving another title shot.   source: dazn
