I'm watching the Ruiz-Jones fight again. So far, what I've noticed is that for the first minute or so, the ref did seem to be jumping in quickly and not letting Ruiz punch out of the clinch. But it stopped after a minute. To claim that cost you a fight, is insane. The ref did watch Ruiz claimed he did for the first minute of the first round. That was it.
The main thing I noticed was Ruiz did take the fight to Jones in the first round. However, with 15 seconds left, Jones caught Ruiz with a nice right hand that seemed to stun Ruiz while he was engaging Jones. I think, off of memory so far, that punch set the pace of the fight. After that punch, and so far in the 2nd round, Ruiz is being very cautious.
