Why?
Because seeing a fat bloke batter a chiselled Adonis is great TV.
Why?
AJ needs to keep his jab peppering his face until he can't see anything to hit. Standstill & he'll be clobbered like he was last time.
That's the thing that has always miffed me with Joshua. He doesn't always use his jab effectively and I have always thought that should be one of his biggest weapons. I agree with @Spurus with regards to using it for 12 rounds, I don't think Aj has the skillset or stamina to effectively box on the outside for 12 rounds. I personally feel that the later the fight goes the better it is for AJ, but that is only because of the extra taco's that Ruiz is carrying.AJ needs to keep his jab peppering his face until he can't see anything to hit.

Can't see Joshua being as bad as he was last time. He was complacent and didn't give Ruiz the respect. Ruiz however, knows that he can stop Joshua but I think coming in that much heavier is a bit risky. Joshua needs to keep his distance and make Ruiz keep moving which means he has to get his jab going. I think (hope) Joshua will up his game and be the fighter he should have been first time around.
I think it was more a case of AJ trying to put on a show. He started well and got a clean knockdown and looked comfortable to finish him off. Then he didn't take his time at all. Most of the punches that knocked AJ down came after AJ got in a good shot of his own. He kept thinking he had him then got caught.Can't see Joshua being as bad as he was last time.

Interesting to see how he recovers from his defeat.
