Sounded like a pretty easy, though boring, win.
Joshua wins by unanimous decision! The judges had it 118-110, 118-110 and 119-109.

How many donuts do you think Ruiz can chow down in one sitting?
Gotta be at least a baker's dozen....

Do people still watch boxing? I've never been a fan but the sport was popular enough that I'd know the names of its stars/champions. I dont think I've heard of either of these guys. Some dude named Tyson Fury got involved with the WWE for a second and they acted like he was a big deal. Still no clue who he was. Much like UFC anymore boxing just isnt talked about on any sports related podcast or show I watch. I'm guessing it's because the viewership of the sport is down.

I'm guessing that interest from Americans in the sport has waned on account of not being as good at it anymore i.e. producing world champions. Mayweather has retired and the average American doesn't even know who Wilder is. While it may not be as exciting as eras gone by it's at least more exciting now than during the Klitschko era. The HW division anyway.

It's because America has only had one heavyweight of significance since the 90's which is Deontay Wilder. People like Tyson, Holyfield and Bowe all faded out at around the same time.
First it was Lennox Lewis who was British and he was popular but then he retired and then there was the boring Klitschko era that lasted a decade and the only ones relevant were a bunch of Eastern Europeans that nobody remembers. Then it was revitalised in 2015 but most of the best and most popular heavyweights like Joshua, Fury and Whyte are all British.
If it wasn't for Wilder, the most relevant heavyweight that America has is Miller who was just banned for being a drugs cheat.

Joshua is a fraud. Guy must have covered 25miles running away from Ruiz in that fight. As for Ruiz, in all honesty the fat idiot doesn’t deserve a rematch after that shitshow. Partying nonstop and scoffing pizzas for 4 months? You avin a laugh? Mans a disgrace to the sport.

Well, strictly speaking it actually was a masterclass of pugilism - in how not to get hit. Now I'm a proud British boxing fan, but Joshua just doesn't cut it for me (he at least got himself in prime shape for this though). Wilder would only have to land one on Joshua's chin and it's all over, first round probably, whilst Fury would embarrass him in the art of boxing - he's the White Lennox Lewis and has every chance of beating Wilder - again!...
Joshua and his team need to use their brains here, they should go for a fight against Ortiz or give Whyte another chance, and I would actually take Whyte to beat him this time. But ultimately the other guy in the thread is right, the heavyweight division has been in poor shape for a long time, once Lewis retired it just went downhill. The days of Tyson obliterating people, Holyfield sticking his chin out and brawling forwards to pulverise blokes, these are but sad heavyweight memories.

Turns out Joshua has to fight a mandatory against either Usyk or Pulev. The talk of Whyte being in the frame is three fights away! I smell boxing bollitix...
