Or rather float like a moth sting like a wasp - Hes a true boxer puncher
He improved his heavy "footedness" a fair bit I think that must be dependent on strength to weight ratio and maybe fast twitch muscle fibers some people just float even if they are heavy, some just have this heavy ass plod. Joshua used to plod a bit but also has the ability to spring too and now hes looking lighter on the feet
I saw no improvement in head movement but he didnt need it, hand were up all fight and he used foot work and pivoting for the defense, was nicely done.
He stayed at his range and imposed it with the jab, power length foot work and pivots.
His reaction and tie ups when struck were much better this time.
His punches seemed more sudden/sharp.
The jab looked improved alot and how it was used.
Endurance improved massively.
Mental/ psychology game including attention improved heaps
How fcuking hard did this guy work?
The only hole and a serious hole I see is head movement its not fast enough its not often enough and its not large enough for safety ie its a subtle move. He doesn't need it so much vs Ruiz but he sure will vs Deontay.
Ruiz came in too heavy and didnt cut the ring down or follow the instructions of his corner, he tried to force a toe to toe by following him around very bizarre. Must be emotional thinking he just wanted the KO too much. Still very dangerous but couldnt get the job done. He would have stood a fair chance if he did what he already knows he should have done.
Joshua over performed Ruiz under performed and it was a wipe out total wipe out in Joshuas favor.
I see it being more competitive in the 3rd but I still see Joshua winning, he's working harder than anyone judging by the rate of progression.
