What happened was a combination of ruiz coming in too fat, the ref allowing joshua to hold to break them up right away and joshua utilizing his reach, his legs and the ref.
The taller boxer doesn't want the shorter fighter to close the distance, and when they have no other way out, they hold, and when the ref breaks them up, it resets everything, giving the shorter fighter no chance to win.
A good ref would have warned joshua for holding and let ruiz work with the free hand.
