Comments: Ruiz was just looking more active, landing better shots. Some comeback at the end by Holly but not enough to grab the round. The "throwdown" did not impress here.

Reason: Dominated most of round
Comments: Ruiz wobbled, stopped for a "low shot" which is dubious (no replay at time of note). I'd say no. Left hook and body shot from Holly post brief stop. Couple of nice Holly jabs. Ruiz is tired.

Comments: Close call here. Ruiz landed a few good shots which took it. Holly looked like he took round off or was tired from last round. Ruiz round.

Comments: It's the last round. Ruiz tapes then takes a knee like a slip. Holly landed body shots in 2nd minute. Danced Ruiz takes a 2nd knee about 1:00 left. Holly's round.
