[Music] [Applause] [Music] this is the pinnacle heavyweight championship at the garden this is what Anthony Joshua wanted and this is what Andy rules jr. could barely tree wasn't fortunes in The Dresden you obey my commands that were to protect yourselves at all times touch goes down man your boxing at the Bell god bless you both Andy Ruiz lost his first world title off because it didn't let his hands go he is fouled that is not going to be the case tonight his only pro loss to Joseph Parker in December of 2016 Parker was unbeaten at the time Joshua appointed Parker in March of 2018 long time for these fighters to be standing in the ring by the way Joshua absurdities that his size has his arms resting on the top rope not many can do that he can do but in trying to stay loose and here we go round number one heavyweight championship of the world [Applause] Parker enormous with a huge size advantage Ruiz jr. yes we know is not the body beautiful but he has good boxing ability as he fires out a double jab long jab from Joshua with the hook would like to do something emphatic here Sergio but he also has to box and find his rhythm we have to be careful cuz Ruiz does really well as he punches back sharply every time you miss a punch and how auntie Louise was successful against Alexander David tranquil is that he is able to walk him down will he be able to walk Joshua down when the punch is coming back and that much more significant you say Joshua able to touch Ruiz hat will fires off a right hand he's able to throw that jab to the body or the head that's exactly what I meant that's what Ruiz does well he counters yes fast hence for a big guy he has really fast counters Ruiz has good ability to go to the body the question is can he get inside against this longer taller man he can get inside but he doesn't want to give up that choppy right hand he had the shorter fighter and Joshua Pun punching down can hurt him Joshua is very versatile he can hurt you with any punch either hand has the ability to box we saw in his last fight against Alexander Povetkin he's able to come back from adversity as well [Applause] we see the shorter putts your man backing up the big heavyweight champion Louise with his defense type Pantera good champing skills comes in defensively responsible and able to move in behind his jab [Music] go back to the perfection fight Brian Rebecca had a little success in those early rounds against Joshua connecting with some pretty significant shot Povetkin brought the heat no question at Wembley in front of 80,000 plus I wonder Sergio I think the challenge here it seems to be being met by Ruiz is just to be able to breathe and round one and be able to box and make this normal because this is not normal for anyone know how many are against this man at this place see what he just did right there look grief came countered he's a sneaky counter puncher he's a he's a quiet puncher and that's why josh was a little leery right now Joshua Windham shaft that landed tries and fires a hook that missed Joshua was able to land that jab if not at will on a regular basis and to think about reason like Quebec Caen they made a career beating bigger men so he knows how to punch up at the right time you know you called him the Mexican Rocky this is certainly Apollo Creed look at the big Joshua it's ridiculous the condition that he's in final seconds now of round one that's a hard chat by Joshua but a decent round one for the Challenger Andi Ruiz able to stay in enable a box against the champ so you have one two buckle keep him long keep him long don't look for the ogia he been long jab jab back and if you can do one there if you have to faint first don't fall in and don't loose anything okay have a little drink where's the book it's out we're talking [ __ ] relax listen he's gonna shop coming over the chocolate me to manage a banana to when it got this job on the ones who don't have the understand alright come on big booty come on stop in walking in sweat one two corner [Applause] it's our pleasure to be here with you at Madison Square Garden Robert McCracken Tom in the corner Sergio and tried to get his band to bob says Ruiz comes out firing and looking to fight good right hand Randy Louise Reece timed him with a right hand but no as he should be a little concerned because he's walking the bigger man down he says he wants to keep him at bay keep them wrong and faith first because Reese is an excellent counter puncher Ruiz has some wins over solid contenders although some came at the back end of those contenders careers he beat Sergey lyova to 2014 ray Austin in 2016 and then later Kevin Johnson but you can see the after pedigree has over a hundred ammeter wins and movies again comes in 32 and 121 knockout so a credible opponent and maybe some people out there were telling me Chris Mannix a you know it he could give a better account of himself than jerel Miller even though he's filling in for Miller after he failed his drug tests yeah I think Andy Ruiz is a more impactful punch and that's why when Anthony Joshua was going through his training camp he brought in amateurs because heyyyyy things day grow more impactful punches and while jerel Miller is the busier fighter and of her wheeze depends a little more pop behind what it rose we is able to calmly move forward and measure that jab when when it comes to fast counter punchers and boxes with fast hands that speak to not throw a power for a hard jab the first time around you want to flip that jab joining these speed check get the other fighter to try to counter wonder one point that Joshua is able to get into the pocket that maybe goes on the attack he has not done that as of yet we're only in round two but Louise certainly is able to get fairly comfortable if not calm in the ring and that's some achievement you know the big fights just suck the energy out a challenger can come in and in a whether it's up your first mega fight for your first championship fight this is a big stage right hand from Joshua that can really train a man in the class as well by the champ yeah this is a big stage for hundred reasons sometimes you're not worried about what Andy Reese could do it's what Madison Square Garden where legends that fought can do two wreaths and Chris I think too you know that Josh want his mind Deontay Wilder had an emphatic win over Dominic Brazil he's already beaten Brazil but he can't go in there and think hey I've got to knock someone out just like that yeah but he's thinking that to a degree he saw the but the wilder win he said he wanted to have the big performance tonight but you got to be careful when a guy can crack in the winter Louisiana final seconds of round two better punches in this round seemingly coming from Anthony Joshua but getting Ruiz is in this fight in this boxing contest [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you know he's showing you the right hand right here we see reeds expecting a sharp jab but Joshua doing the smart thing coming around with a hook that lands nicely serger what does Benny Robles mean by sewing in the right hand because you're outside during there where the bigger man sees just want to show them the rider to try to get job to commit with a counter punch and then you can counter round number three Manny Robles also telling anything Ruiz jr. that you see what happened after you double up on the jab during the exchanges Ruiz showed that he could be a dangerous man as well anyone with fast hands in boxing can be dangerous Anthony Joshua heavyweight champion of the world coming in here to Madison Square Garden wanting to showcase his skills he is doing that so far but getting a bit of a test here early from Andy Ruiz Ruiz in the white and gold trunks Joshua in the whites with black trim see the punches at least the jabs through two rounds 9 2 3 [Applause] Wow [Music] 6:7 more than two minutes to go in this round Anthony Joshua is a composed and ferocious finishers watch this 21 knockouts in 21 wins for Anthony Joshua Luise staggered and an uppercut trying to hold on [Music] Tesla's hurt he's clear-eyed look into the eyes of Michael Griffin but what an answer by Ruiz stunning been with knockdowns in his third round [Applause] and I don't think jaded fancy Joshua thought ad ruies would be able to stand up to that assault so Jim how often do you see after you have a knock-down you figure all right let me finish this guy off and then you're the one in danger both men down but I think Joshua took the worst of it [Applause] Jawas climbed off the canvas before [Applause] as well tremendous answer just when you think the coronation is complete in trouble left in this round these other look the most important 40 seconds of angling regions career he has a herd champion in front of a box [Applause] not moving away body shot that uppercut this will reach they'll be looking for he'll be measuring them for a counter right standing in one spot tapping to the body [Applause] that's what hurt the corner 30 staggered [Applause] that was the man Griffin getting to eat can he step to Michael Griffith Griffin asked him to walk to the and he didn't bell rings and a bell stands Anthony Joshua [Applause] [Applause] first knockdown is aa blue ease it was a beautiful left hook that put him down and here we see Joshua coming down going down for the first time beautiful left hook right on the temple took the legs right out of Joshua [Applause] and here's the second knockdown all right what could be the round of the year and we're back underway and trying to become the heavyweight champion of the world enough stunner Brian he is still on shaky legs Anthony Josh and he is not fully recovered from that last round and Andy Reid's chatting to the body he's gonna try to fit up over and right and there's a jab to the chest Joshua got up in the town of a hard right hand I tell you what Michael Griffin who's had 365 de Provence but he asked Sasha would have stepped to him I think he did the right thing Joshua did not quite step to him the way you would walk however this is the heavyweight championship and you give the benefit of the doubt to the chap [Music] Dame left hook that put we've done didn't put him down this time momentum has changed two knockdowns for Ruiz one knockdown for Joshua Anthony Joshua is in trouble still does not look sturdy out there now looks like a confident bye heavy British crowd they are stunts here at the garden there's a [ __ ] downstairs I'm expecting more goals you want to set up something over the top a looping punch you know we joke about the conditioning of these guys and Ruiz right now looks like the better conditioned fighter those punches seem to graze Joshua on the side of the head [Applause] equilibrium right hand just fall short but Ruiz definitely looks dangerous now [Applause] Louise looks like he's measuring him for his own right hand Joshua must respect that power where weeds with a hard gem and a second chance to the chest [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you know there's not much of an output Sergio from Joshua at this point cuz he respects Reed's that's well you respect them fast hands and he has to respect the power now Andy Reese came to become the heavyweight champion of the world tonight [Applause] on his trunks it says destroyer could he be that tonight and on the back it says victorious [Applause] massive underdog coming in here as a filling as a substitute and here for a showcase for the champion from London but it has been a rude welcome to the United States for Anthony Joshua [Applause] a more tentative round number four after the blockbuster third rounds [Applause] [Music] right [Music] [Music] don't come down here we go you know so let's just keep them in the game you're breaking down did he say what shot wasn't so he's asking we'll put him down I believe son that's what always happens when it comes to a punch like that you'll see coming we get ready for round five Chris Mannix right to ask it is with all the docpods how do you have it scored so far wild third round that I scored 10 8 480 movies 38 37 in Vander evangelise I thought Ruiz let Joshua off the hook a little bit in that last round when he was not all the way back after that brutal third round yesterday I wonder now like Joshua with each round with his legs get stronger and Clinton clear his head a little bit more each time I believe any reason those forty seconds he could have became the champion of the world buddy's a poised patient puncture he feels you're probably going to get another opportunity again Joshua's gonna have to put it into another gear you see Ruiz out landing the champion in power punches and real shots - that's us throwing a hook he throws a good hook to the body we knew Ruiz had good fundamental skills the solid boxer good ammeter pedigree you were just figured and most of the world figured he did not stack up against a six foot six five - heavyweight champion in his athletic crime and Brian Vladimir Klitschko he let Anthony Joshua off the hook a couple of years ago he paid the price in the later rounds cuz Paige is power Joshua but Ruiz again is defensively sound walking in hands up jabbing and trying to work behind the jab you can see the avid or skill coming to the fore and I tell you what five rounds in and the Ruiz has won over a good portion of these Brits here 6,000 Brits here and he's winning the crowd over we're looking a little steadier here round 5 Wilden in this round a blockbuster round great is that how you score that with three knockdowns ten eight that is out how I scored all right [Applause] the cats confused yeah but that mean he got a knockdown as well would it be nine eight two knockdowns Randy Ruiz right one knockdown for a new job I'll let you figure that out final minute now round five Square Garden heavyweight title fight and a spirited challenge from Andy Ruiz Chris Mannix have a heart-to-heart hook by Joshua things can change quickly many Roma told and he reads not to give up those 10 minutes do not let reticulum over the listener that's been raging that's where he got caught right there at any moment this could end thought I would just be saying that about Joshua I can have to say it about engines as well that looked to be blocked it was an overhead rag when he didn't stand it up he needed a full Johnson with downstairs before he threw it upstairs now joshua has his hands a little bit higher showing a little more respect for Ruiz [Applause] right hand by Ruiz able to get through and touch it [Music] [Applause] devyn Haney is here at the fight he'll be on our post show stick around after the fight we'll be here for all the post-fight action and trying to figure out what would be next in the heavyweight division to the shop yeah he could revoke a shitload just FYI listen but winning firms are mate come on this games getting not the one let's get boxing again when he come on come on which ones tokens but one was shot everybody three two one two and here's the the left hook that landed earlier reasons arena partner expecting a jab Joshua did the smart thing to come around the clubs of the left hook glad you're with us here on the zone Madison Square Garden New York City two hard shams 405 as they open up round 6 you wonder what Anthony Joshua they're able to up the work rate maybe it's this round right hand could slip by Brian when Anthony Josh Weston realize is that one good shot he's not gonna purr Cruz to the point where he's just called early Ruiz is going to fire back if Joshua comes charging in after taking that shot one thing copy box can tell you is the normal work rate for a fighter and Anthony just went through five rounds is averaging 28 punches per round his average in his last eight fights forty per round so his output is down now granted he was down twice in that third round that'll skew it however until the opening seconds of this round we just haven't seen a fully engaged Anthony Joshua showing the normal volume and that's because the vanity reasons fast hands and fast counters he have to be careful every time he opens up leave is gonna come back with something Joshua with the enormous height advantage the reach advantage he would bigger Sergio get he heard it from Robert McCracken he could just box Sheb moved back to European style and win this fight that's exactly what day one Rob McCracken said it listen jab jab right hand that's all that it'll win this right hand by Ruiz able to counter straight up the middle you're a DJ you got to keep sticking that jab out there you can't let any reason walk towards you without throwing something back and me getting closer and closer I'd like to see him go to the body more first knockdown to the fight game from Anthony Joshua at that point it looked like it was just going to be party time for all these British fans and again a continuance in Joshua's reign and instead we see the possibility of Andy Ruiz becoming the heavyweight champion in the world good body shot that was a hook from Ruiz that's his best shot Joshua answering with the hook and the jab to the chest which throwing moves Joshua all the way back and I said that earlier Brian before gonna be a [ __ ] downstairs attack to the right to the chest that Jen raised Joshua's cheek inches away from landing clucks heart body shot by Louie and Irina standing up on overhand right [Applause] final seconds here round six Ruiz having all sorts of surprising success again just was talking to him I don't know what he's saying [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the yellow getting rusty mother triple G next week Rosie Perez there with Gennady golovkin the Russell shields there as well one of the top female fighters in the world if not the best but it'll be golovkin next week right here though we've got the heavyweight title very much on the line and and they're dead right hand downstairs and later after that he through a hard check chance to the chest he's trying to set up all over handwriting any reason by the way triple G will be with us on the post so in the post fight we have a lot to talk about either way round seven and andy ruiz jr. sergio having success with those body shots around six Chris how do you look at your scoring on that how do you score that round I gave a damn to Ruiz 58 57 in favor Luiz the last 40 seconds that round Bryan's I think aunt bee Joshua threw one punch and that was at the very end [Applause] third block down to the fight so Louise seven Hey well not quite away but he flashes check Joshua looks gasps no beat came flying out his little sick he's been down four times Joshua turning to his corner he's gotta be careful here he's got to stay engage where is his mouthpiece in a box Joshua was giving him every chance but Shahji was booked into his corner did not advance [Music] we shot the world the Mexican lobby indeed the Mexican rocky makes me believe in movies now [Music] Wow an absolute stunner ruies urgent it wasn't Lucas he knocked him down early knocked him down again and maybe after looting the early power of round six he came back landed his body shots and then round seven it looked like Joshua did not want to continue no he wanted out his facial expression he was tired he was fatigued he was be [Music] Wow Wow Brian is it's a bigger upset that Tyson dumped it it certainly seems like it Buster Douglas was fantastic that one night there's no question Ruiz came in look like I don't want to say a second tier anyway from the second division but he is down the heavyweight champion a stunning turn of events Anthony Joshua at the end of that fight didn't turn around look to his corner again Michael Griffin had given him the final the benefit of the doubt earlier even when Josh wood did not walk toward him so I thought he was giving him every chance and I wouldn't even look at this maybe it'll be seen as controversial eventually but it seems like he was well within his rights to stop that fight but let us take a look again again that's for knockdowns as well this is round 7 you don't want to exchange punches with a man with a faster hand and that's why Anthony Joshua got in trouble right there Ruiz with the faster hands and the faster combinations the better technique beat the heavyweight champion tonight I knew he was swinging shots as well power shots from both sides and then right hand this is a man that wants it sir Joe I mean he just face him Ruiz wanted it and Joshua came here again just as I don't know if he saw it as a ceremony but he did not want it as much as Ruiz here's the second knockdown does a hard right hand and it was an overhand right he's been trying to set that up for some time now and he finally caught him with that but once he did he didn't let the champ off the hook and then he falls forward but that is definitely as a result of those previous right hands so that is a legitimate knockdown and we'll watch it again [Applause] now there's the knock down and we're going to stay with this through the stoppage so there's Michael Griffin doing the right thing administering the count picks up the mouthpiece and you see now this is what I'm talking about Joshua looking to his corner he has to engage he has to step forward show the referee he wants to continue and turning his back you never turn your back on your and you can hear him Sergio he said are you ready to box he got no response from Anthony Joshua the 300 copyright monster just lost one of the Ted let's go to the ring and Michael Butler ladies and gentlemen here at Madison Square Garden referee Michael Griffin steps in and calls a halt to the contest the official time one minute 27 seconds round number 7 the winner by TKO victory and now the new unified IBO IBF WBA WBO heavyweight [Applause] [Music] and a destroyer who's Junior we didn't expect this I don't know if anyone expected this Anthony Joshua 22 and Oh 21 wins by knockout he's able to smile able to show good sportsmanship he's been that type of athlete but sir Joe this is just absolutely stunning one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight championship history incredible incredible Mexican rocky just came to life the judges by the way had this as a very close fight to had it for Ruiz by one point one had it for Joshua by one point so it's very much in a state of flux before release got the stoppage that is great sportsmanship you have to admit it but it is stunning to see Joshua taking this well what do you make of that listen he even in defeat you see the character of that now former champion and Anthony Joshua in the middle of the new heavyweight champion and what we call a vato loco where I come from what's that that man with the sunglasses take a look at some of the numbers and your Ruiz jr. outlanding Anthony Joshua throwing more punches he was he was active he was accurate he was defensively sound he was just outstanding and again uh I have to say looked like he just wanted it more thirty-nine power punches out landing power punches to Joshua as well he boxed beautifully and Andrew Ruiz is in the ring crisp annexation set it up this way Chris Mannix is with the heavyweight champion of the world Chris Andy congratulations for the longest time Buster Douglas is knockout of Mike Tyson was viewed as the biggest upset heavyweight history this gives it a run for its money what are you feeling right now man I just want to thank God for giving me this victory without him this wouldn't have been possible and I just feel so good man this is what I've been dreaming about this is what I've been working hard for and I can't believe I just made my dreams come true man I just want to thank all my team oh hey Minh Eddie Hearns my dad my whole family and sky's the limit baby you said all along you shouldn't be underestimated in a fight like this you said you basically had 15 weeks of training camp you were ready for a fight like this what changed for you in that the third round of the fight when you put him down twice after taking that knockdown what happened in that round I don't know man that was my first time getting dropped on the floor but you know what it just made me stronger it made me want it even more and I just had to knock them down back you know so I just think God man so much when did you realize Andy that you could take his power you took that big shot but you kept moving forward just like against Emmitt Renko you kept moving forward because of the Mexican War II that I am I got that Mexican blood in me so talking about the Mexican style I just proved it after that third round it just didn't look like he recovered at any point could you sense that in the ring I could but I didn't want to I didn't want to throw everything that I got I wanted to hunt him down even more work the body work the head and we're just listening to the game plan with my Amendola Manik Roach and I mean many robliz and and they eat that and we just pulled it off man there's a rematch clause to this contract are you expecting them to exercise it do you want that next fight of course man right now I just want to celebrate I just made history baby for Mexico you are the first Mexican American heavyweight champion what does that mean to you that means everything man this is what I've been dreaming about since I was six years old if it wasn't for my dad I wouldn't be here let me say coming up a round of applause for andy ruiz the new heavyweight champion listen big respect and a big big respect [Music] good fighter Thank You America thank you everyone for coming out this evening sorry I let my fans down sorry I let my support down I'm gonna make a move big respect to enjoy this moment and we'll be seeing you again hey Jay let me turn to you for a second here let me just ask you about okay Eddie this certainly was a shocker to have something like this happen what do you think happened out there oh I J go sloppy it was a beautiful combination anything the third round [Music] so control their five and never recovered I thought at times he might recovered in those rounds but listen tonight belongs to any ruse it's a massive up JJ will be back 100% we'll make the rematch in the UK in november/december but tonight deserves and belongs to ND Rouge he made history it was a massive heavyweight shock tonight he'll go down in history as a very very big one and that will see what i JS about I know he's got the heart of a lion he'll be back and you'll rebuild and at least we know how opponent is for an end-of-year it's going to be a big rematch in the UK but Ruiz deserves it tonight we have seen Anthony Joshua recover from big shots before wladimir klitschko put him down AJ rallied to win that fight why was he not able to recover from Andy Ruiz's assault I don't know he looked flat at times he got hit on the top of the head when he was sloppy after he looked like he had Ruiz out it's an incredible third round it was a great fire and he learned a lot from this you know mountaintops and valleys as they say this is a massive blow for him but he will be back I know it'll be even hungrier now and maybe this is what he needs you know every now and again you get a defeat like this he's got a bounce back and it'll open up a shot at regs later this year but he needs to win it's a must-win fight now and you would you expect him to exercise immediate rematch laws go into later this year absolutely and Andy Ruiz will believe we can win the rematch you know and if he does then you know he's he's in an unbelievable position you already is but he's got a judge got to rebuild come back stronger let them let the fire burn inside him he's got a one-on-one list back you know this is amazing it was an amazing experience thank you so much to the UK fans who traveled but tonight goes down as a huge AJ will rebuild he's a true true warrior in this fall he tries every day to improve he will be devastated when these things in and he's got used that hunger to bounce back and win this rematch thanks Eddie guys hi Chris thank you very much Wow just a stunner and you saw Chris Mannix went to interview Anthony Joshua and Joshua Sergio said no no that's the men talk to him exemplary sportsmanship race under pressure and grace in a stunning defeat your thoughts classy champion classy former champion now let that man this time on the light in the limelight that was just incredible becoming the first mexican-american champion in the heavyweight division that's history we just witnessed he was about a 21 to 100 on Andy Murray's Junior Buster Douglas was said to be about 42 to 1 in Japan against Mike Tyson look Cassius Clay was what a huge underdog against Sonny Liston and shocked the world so these happen we did not expect it to happen here tonight now before we move on again keep it here we're gonna be talking to everybody post fight before we move forward though you did hear Michael Griffith we have good sound there Michael Griffin the referee in the final seconds when he made the decision to stop this fight let's listen in we're in a box I didn't hear that the first sign he said are you ready to box Anthony Joshua said yes now he said yes I

that knockdown and it looked like you fought win there and finish it off is that that's the fire in me but I don't want anyone to kind of crowd in there so this is [ __ ] it shows how bout the power we strip and I'll come back and just tighten up on a few bits we have seen you rally before specifically against wladimir klitschko what was the difference in the hurt you felt tonight yup it really is through the saving some of the same just was up my mind is that you know why it's good for the TV is good for design when people watch it and then this was a referee stoppage at the end you protest the little bit after it stoppage did you have a problem with your the fight this is what we do every one of them flies to disrespecting referee as you know my jobs are flight and the referee put off 24 couldn't fire it's a shame I don't want anyone to kind of drown in their service because it's about the long game that's what the short game you took an D Ruiz on short notice do you think there was a part of you that underestimated him whilst the lake excuses I'll say yeah definitely but it's no excuse to this long fall I've got forward with big shock and then congratulations to you've said all along that one of the reasons you want the Deonte while their fight now because there's a lot of risks that come with heavyweight boxing was this the kind of risk that you were talking about I would prefer to be done say Lord I do not mean it wasn't it was a new reason he deserves every every bit of fame or fortune is about to receive you have an immediate rematch clause do you expect to exercise that Wow hi listen thanks AJ thank you you
