    So what's the final ruling. Did AJ run or not?

    What does this site classify as "running" vs "boxing"?

    A little bit but he mostly just circled and pivoted Andy's fat ass all night.

    Great game plan to be honest. Ruiz has always been a plodder but that was just pathetic.

      You can’t run and throw more punches , including power punches

        Running is just trying to survive with no offence. What you saw was boxing. Hit and don't get hit.

          He schooled his way to victory, clinch or not. He did land some decent power shots too, Ruiz's chin is granite tho. AJ knew better this time around to exchange

            This won’t be the ‘final ruling’. Folks will be debating this for ages.

            Joshua boxed his way to victory but if fighting on the outside avoiding being hit looks like running, then that’s what it looks like. It’s a matter of opinion.

              You have eyes. You saw the fight. You tell me.

              There was nothing wrong with joshua using his legs, that's part of boxing. What made the fight difficult for ruiz was the ref being so eager to break them up whenever joshua held ruiz when he got too close.

                Great game plan either way, easy win except for a few moments when Ruiz got close. You can't complain about his performance or game plan.

                  He showed good footwork. Solid, simple fundamentals. Too afraid to let his right hand go though, and not enough body attacks.

                    I don`t give a ****. He had a great gameplan. He didn`t repeat mistakes from first fight.
