Day 15: On a scale of 1-10: Rate Anthony Joshua's win over Andy Ruiz

[removed]

3.

He ran away from a heavy bag with gloves on.

[Kezzer]

Technically he was super and there were many questions asked of him which he answered.

It clearly wasn’t a complete performance because there was no knock out but he certainly showed he can adapt a completely different style

People who are “haters” may claim running - but it was a technical masterclass that true boxing fans will understand

[Laligalaliga]

I gave it a 7 because he didnt win by KO but it was a loop sided performance.
Ruiz had no chance whatsoever.
Avoid unnecessary engagement, stink and move, that was high technical.

[Marchegiano]

5, Andy Ruiz is the favorite against who? Exactly.

[Scopedog]

It was about a 6 IMO, and then I think I'm probably just giving it a point extra because I was there. It was a solid enough performance from Joshua, it was a sharp and disciplined display of boxing, but then again that was against an opponent who made it easy for him. Ruiz already had the blueprint to at least give Joshua trouble from the first fight, if he'd fought in the same way he did in New York but kicked it up a gear he probably would have at least given himself a chance to put Joshua under pressure and make it happen, but obviously he wasn't prepared physically or strategically for the rematch and the rest is history. A lot of people wrote Joshua off and he deserves credit for bouncing back, but I think that credit is kind of cancelled out by the fact that he really should have beaten Ruiz the first time.

10. He won 12 -0 in rounds. Only haters call it running.

You're the only one that voted 10.

Perhaps, I am being a bit harsh but in my opinion that win goes unrated. Andy Ruiz was an overmatched, set up and cherrypicked opponent who didn't deserve a rematch or let alone belong in the same ring as Anthony Joshua in their first meeting.

Furthermore, Ruiz he took the fight on short notice without so much as getting enough time to get in boxing shape or conditioning and yet he had done the unthinkable. I apologize but you don't get credit for something that you were already supposed to do.

[KTFOKING]

7 to 7.5.

He dominated Ruiz and got over a mental hurdle of suffering his first defeat months prior. Joshua deserves credit of how quickly he was able to right his wrong and how easy he made the rematch to be. Sure, Ruiz came out of shape but that isn't Joshua's fault.

Good performance.

[boliodogs]

I gave him a 3. He won every round from an out of shape blubber butt Ruiz. But he fought scared and took no risks after he promised a brutal revenge KO of Ruiz. He followed his game plan to win and not get hurt but it was a dull fight and he didn't fight like a great champion he claims to be.

[hugh grant]

It's maybe a 6 or 7 even. Ruiz isn't an AT G im.afraid.
Id love to give my fellow countryman more
