Although he went back to round four, five and six while the two men seemed to take a break to recover, the seventh was never forgotten.
Ruiz was able to land heavily on Joshua and sent the former unified heavyweight champion to the canvas, before toppling him on the back for the fourth time.
At the post-fight press conference, Hearn was read in the tweet and reacted by blaming Wilder for his "lack of clbad".
"I'm sure there will be many people who are happy that AJ is lost tonight.
"Deontay Wilder has no clbad for kicking Joshua while he is on the ground."
Meanwhile, Tyson Fury sent a rather healthy message to his heavyweight rival.

"We have our backs and Forth, but @anthonyfjoshua has changed its stars over the course of life," Fury wrote on Twitter.
"Heavyweight boxing, these things happen, rest, recover, regroup and come back."
