Andy Ruiz USA vs Anthony Joshua England 2 Boxing Fight Highlights HD

From London, England, the challenger, former heavyweight champion of the world, The Joshua! The reigning, defending, IBA, IBO, WBA, WBO, heavyweight champion of the world, Enrique, The Destroyer, Rory! Joshua Locke, the Mexican-American wrecking ball. Who gets off to the better start, Matt? We want to come in and try and close down that range, lovely jab. He has very fast hands and he's got a clever boxing IQ, Ruiz. He's straight on the front foot and he is the aggressor immediately. Ruiz landed a nice right hand to the body a moment before that, but this is good from Joshua, he's keeping it nice and light. Ruiz's dream rise on the line. He's fainting and he's trying to glide, sneak his way into range. Ruiz has took the center of the ring and he's looking to try and back Joshua up behind the jab. He's a 17 stone, the lightest he's ever weighed following the plan for Joshua. Ruiz switching it up and a right hand. Beautiful work from Joshua. Look at how patient he is and look at the patience from Anthony Joshua. What an excellent start from Anthony Joshua. Cool, calm, focused. Total belief in the tactics of the game and that was a beautiful right hand. He's learned from previous mistakes. And at five weeks notice, Andy Ruiz got the call. Really let go with a hard straight right hand down the pipe, where you can land those hard right hands, those good jabs, keeping him at that range, good left hook. Battle of the jabs at the moment. Joshua knocks one in. But in technical skills and in length, and Ruiz trying to get close and a jab of Joshua. He's working a treat. He needs to be tight to his face and he's got to be thinking about it. He's boxing, lovely jab, keeping it long. Landing long, hard, straight right hands, lead left hook. Now when them two double jabs landed from Andy Ruiz. Great shot from Joshua. Really worked the body, trying to get those hands down. This is better. He's lost. Looking for the right hand again, Joshua. And a big shot as well. And Ruiz in trouble. The difference here is that AJ was cut from the head clash. And Ruiz really can't box over the cut. If it goes to points, because Joshua... You know, even when he's rocked it, he's twice for me. And he hasn't jumped on him in either moment. So really relaxed, really calm. The guts man in Joshua's corner. That's got to move. As you know Matt, when you're going through a fight like this and you're the one in control of the pace. And that's what Anthony Joshua's done so far Matt tonight. Yeah, really good game plan. He's sharp now, he doesn't want to take any more of those right hands that he took in that first round. Breaks the distance down and especially with that jab. Watch the body shots as well. And it's all Anthony Joshua but he is getting closer to Andy Ruiz. Good jab to the body there from Ruiz. It's so disciplined and so measured. And that's what I like. He just tied Andy Ruiz up and made it work for him. And these are the small moments that count the most. Ruiz can't stop it, he can't see it coming. And the thing with Ruiz is... Yeah, this is better for Ruiz but Joshua's still controlling him with the jab. Still snapping the head back of Ruiz. Tries a right hook round the temple area. Where will they be stopping? Good jabs from Ruiz Jr there. Fantastic work. Hooks on the back foot as he is at times here. He's expended very little energy. Andy Ruiz in this fight so far. We're into the fourth round now. But what about that weight he's carrying? Really good, the movement's good. But it's also every now and then he's got to hit Ruiz with something hard. Just to keep him in his place. Joshua's backed up in the corners and on the ropes. And that's where it could turn around. I just want to say Anthony Joshua. AJ's still sticking to his game plan. Fully footed as I said before. Anthony Joshua's having a good way. That's a good right hand. Brian Jennings, Andrew Tabiti. He's given them a lot of credit. Looking to unload a combination. Joshua's climbing. Go for it. Right hand from Ruiz. As he looks to end the round strongly. And he's hunting Joshua again. At the end of the fourth round. Them punches were on the back of the head. He's got to be careful. Joshua's legs just stiffen slightly there. And Ruiz having the best moments of the fight. The 96th of Anthony Joshua. Joshua cannot afford to switch off his box. The brilliant Andy Ruiz Jr. Dangerous for as long as he's in there. Yeah, he's still dangerous. He's stalking Joshua. He's trying to cut the ring off. And from Joshua a right hand. But Ruiz inches forward. And it's just how Joshua deals with that. Up to now he's dealt with it brilliantly. So he's had a good chin Ruiz. Only the one knockdown. Some people said he was silly to go into an immediate rematch. Few heard of it. Not quite as many as he had by this stage in the garden. Because that left hook landed clean. That was, you know, as the rough rounds go on. So he knows he can hurt Andy Ruiz. Right hand from Ruiz really starts forcing the pace. Because he's got to be behind here. Yeah, way behind. He's a fighter. He's never going to tire Andy Ruiz. Because he doesn't wear the weight. The output from him isn't an awful amount. This is what it looks like. This is a masterclass from Anthony Joshua. He's patient. He's picking his shots. That pull from Andy Ruiz. Back comes Joshua with a right hand. Action. Warming up in the set. The pace, and to be totally honest, Andy Ruiz had a good last round. But he forced the pace a lot more. Just off Broadway in early June. Joshua's got to stay sharp here. An appreciation there. And Joshua boxing beautifully behind this jab. And inside 12 as most predicted. He cannot let this fight get up close. Blood trickles down the left eye of Andy Ruiz Jr. He's just keeping it long. His jab's been brilliant tonight. His jab's been absolutely spot on. And even that lead left hook can get that hand speed off. It does spell a bit of danger for Joshua on the inside. Back on the jab. The corner. A screaming Joshua. A bit of fatigue might set in later on. Maybe he does get close to Joshua. Maybe he catches him and hurts him. Then he went 12 rounds for the first time. Oh, and Ruiz just feeding him to the punch there. A touch of toe-to-toe. And that's what Ruiz will want here. He ties him up. And that doesn't have quick enough feet really to get to Joshua just now. We're only in the seventh round in. Is that because of the extra stone he's put on since New York? Well, I think he hasn't got the quickest feet anyway. But it's certainly the extra stone. Tie him up. And that's what he's been doing. And that's good for Joshua. Must be getting annoyed that he hasn't managed to make a dent. There's a big gulp of air. There's that lead left hook out of him. He faints the jab. Lead left hook. Bang on the chin. Beautiful punch. I mean, up to now, it's been pretty much a punch-perfect display from Anthony Joshua. Just peel up. Anthony, he's going to get rushed at some point. Looking for the right hand. Joshua. Oh, and it turns into... His career is on the line. And that can ignite the beast within. Straight right hand to the body. Lovely body shots to the right hand. Tom on the head as well from Ruiz. Got hurt. What happened happened. There, he had the discipline to grab a hold of Ruiz. As he just attempts to get inside. And a right hand there. And Joshua just unsteady. And here comes Andy Ruiz. You just don't know when another... Good shot. Right hand from Joshua. I think the good thing for Joshua, what he's doing, is he's not allowing Ruiz to pin him on the ropes or trap him in the corner. He's moving brilliantly. Just under five rounds to go. Anthony Joshua is doing a very good job of making himself... Many would have thought. We felt him really go for it. Both the dads, both the lovely guys out of the ring. Huge respect between the pair. He locks him up. Something he never even thought about doing last time. That's another good right hand to the body. And he's showing that. He's educating himself. He's improving his game all the time. Because Parker didn't really fancy it, in my opinion. He was happy to do the 12 rounds. Ruiz is coming for him. In this range here. He's waiting until Anthony tries to hold him or tie him up. Beautiful one. Lovely one up from Joshua. That's what I'm saying. He's shown things tonight. Improvements on his game. Right and a left from Ruiz. I still think he's dangerous. Tony, Joshua. Just all at sea there. I think Josh is just going to stick to the game plan. And box his way to a decision here. Ruiz's cut's getting worse again. The blood's flowing from his left eye. I think he was okay, actually, by the shots. But I just think there's a little bit of panic on him when it happens. I think Ruiz letting the shots go. I think maybe a bit of demons from June 1st flooded back a little bit. A little bit of panic. At the moment in the ring where it matters. Anthony Joshua. Joshua stayed nimble on his feet. Very agile. See him again there. Changing direction. Left, right, then back the other way. He's got one big hurrah in him. Anthony Ruiz, I'm pretty sure of it. He was hurt. His pride kicked in. He didn't know where he was. He was throwing shots back. But, you know, tonight he's boxed. His legs are bent. He's dipping low. He's bobbing. He's weaving. And when they do come in close, that was a good body shot from Anthony Ruiz. You know, he's more relaxed because he's further away from Ruiz. Executing the game plan. Has been more flat-footed and frustrated. He's had one or two moments, but they've been few and far. You know, his mobility has been absolutely brilliant. I'd like to say. Lighter than he did in New York. And that was to box his way home. Body shots as well. Has he still got the same power? Anthony Joshua boxing steadily. Here comes Andy Ruiz. He's leaving that left hand out there to try and measure Ruiz. To keep him at range. But at the same time, he's keeping that. That's a testament to that. He's coming down lighter. You know, he's trying to jab his way in. He's landed some good straight right hands to the body as well. He's heart and guts. And he'll keep trying to the end. Has he been disappointing tonight? You know, guys, we want to see him come in at this weight all the time. Disciplined fight. The tactics have been really good. But, you know, it takes a lot of energy to box like this. Exquisite boxing. Still dropping the weights. He's gone back to the Joyboard. Back to basics. The long hair. A very different type of fight. And it's a fight that Anthony Joshua has looked fantastic in. His jab's been brilliant. Never seen his jab looking as good. It's been absolutely fire. And get the job done. Final round. They are slipping away from Andy Ruiz Jr. And he's still so sharp. Expect the last... Oh, big right hand. Big, lovely right hand. He's got it. For the last 10 weeks in the gym. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. So expect him to throw the kicks. But that's easy said than done. It's been brilliant to watch. And it shows you the levels of Anthony Joshua. It doesn't just happen. You've been doing this every single day. It's good. Stay disciplined. Stay on that jab. There's no need to rush him. They're very experienced judges. Can Ruiz do anything? He needs a knockout. Glenn Feldman. This has been a good fight. Both guys are caught. Both guys are too unconscious. A gorgeous boxing picture over 12 rounds. Benoit Roussel from Canada just in front of us. It must be very wide. He is on the verge. You've got a good fighter like Joshua. Who's moved so well. Anthony Ruiz smiles as another jab lands. He says, come on. But it's too late. He will be celebrating at the final bell. What a performance. Under pressure from AJ. Ladies and gentlemen. We go to the scorecards after 12 rounds of boxing. All three scorecards go to the winner by unanimous decision. The fighting pride of London, England. And once again, the heavyweight champion of the world. The man known as AJ. Anthony Joshua. Redemption, revenge, reclamation in the desert for AJ.
