While Anthony Joshua entered Saturday's heavyweight championship fight appearing leaner and more athletic, his opponent, Andy Ruiz, was more than 15 pounds heavier than when they met in June.

Not surprisingly, the outcome of their rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was a unanimous decision victory for Joshua, who avenged his loss to Ruiz and once again became heavyweight champion.

Joshua bounced around the ring, fighting a smart, tactical fight, and mostly stayed out of trouble against the hard-hitting Ruiz. Joshua earned praise on social media from many throughout the sports and entertainment world for his performance, while some criticized Ruiz for coming in out of shape.
