Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: Joshua vs. Breazeale is a 50-50 Fight!

[BoxingFan85]

Breazeale is dangerous and the opposition always fights the champion harder but anyone claiming its a 50 / 50 fight is either that far off out of sink or they fear Joshua down the line and are hoping for a major upset and i dont find Wilder to be a dummy but he also said Joshua has been ****** up before ?

You cannot let your fellow countrymen down in front of the world/media.. Ofcourse everybody knows this is a 70/30 fight(Wilder included) & Breazeale has been downed by smaller HWs, though he got back up & won.. We all know where Breazeale stands with his fight Kassi & Monsur..

Says the twit that has yet to fight a real top ten opponent....these guys are 16-0, 10-0 and fight the best out there. Deontay is a fraud and a *****. He's like Ward would rather sue than fight.

Joshua is a good fighter with some real power but...
So far he has had first mover advantage and with his power it has been good. When he starts fighting guys who can take his shot we will see what he is made of. We saw how Wilder was destroying people but when he was put in there with Stiverne we saw his other side. Sadly Stiverne was sick but Joshua couldn't put him away. Good fighters are not only good but stronger too so I cant wait for the day Joshua will fight someone with a pulse.

And Wilder who has fought more than 30 fights has YET to find a pulse. Stivern was completely immobile. His last fight was a CW and he was getting beat. *** Wilder.

This is a tough fight, no doubt. Breazeale is undefeated olympian, taller than AJ, is a knockout artist and comes from an American football background, so we know he's a real athlete. Been hearing he's looked devastating throughout camp, too.

Surprised Hearn took on such a dangerous opponent as the first defence for big Josh. They could've taken on any Tom, **** or Fury and generated millions off of it, but credit to AJ for having the ambition and championship mentality to want to test himself against the very best. This is the fourth undefeated fighter in a row Joshua has fought.

[vitali1999]

Yes and what is his fight with Arreola? 100-0 yeah let Joshua take on all the undefeated top ranked tall fighter's in the division for you. While you fight no class bums. Piece of shot.

[The plunger man]

Wilder also said this about Charles martin lol..... I get the feeling that wilder really wants the wheels to come undone on joshua and the hope that that he won't have to fight joshua....joshua bends up wilder like an old card box box.... Legs will fold beneath him when he faces AJ ...but wilder has it coming

I don't put much stock into the Mansour knock down,he was a bit flat footed off balance, he was not stunned at all .The majority of that fight he fell more from tripping over the south paws feet, and Mansour was stunned in the 5th round and started to slowly get decked more,im the few who think breazeale would have k.od Mansour late anyway he was counter punching off the ropes well before the stoppage so im not sure why everyone assumes the smaller Mansour was going to win with taking such shots to the head. I saw a Breazeale not in tip top shape which why he struggled against Mansour,that Breazeale is not showing up for Joshua.

Joshua will plant him for real if he connects. Make no mistake this can be a good fight if breazeale can avoid getting hit,how he does that is another question.

Hell, I think it's 50/50 that it goes to the 2nd round. I try to give guys the benefit of the doubt. After all, in the Mansour fight, Breazeale looked just like Tyson Fury from 3 to 4 years ago. So, guys can improve.
But, I just think Dom is going to be a hot mess against a very disciplined, sharp HW who is patient, but wastes no time when the opportunity is there.

Another easy victory for AJ, but still rather meaningless. Really hope his next is significant.

All I'm saying is, people honestly thought Charles Martin was going to KO Joshua.

Joshua's best trait is that he keeps his cool and remains focused. He targets one clean shot. His worst shortcoming is that he only targets one clean shot and often leaves himself open.

Breezy isn't going to be able to exploit that, as seen in the Kassi fight.

This is a tough fight, no doubt. Breazeale is undefeated olympian, taller than AJ, is a knockout artist and comes from an American football background, so we know he's a real athlete. Been hearing he's looked devastating throughout camp, too.

You can't seriously believe what you just said.

Sorry man, but that's a complete falacy. That sounds like something fans make up to legitimize a garbage win.
The only ones saying Martin by KO were guys like Tyrone Biggums who antagonize Brits just for the fun of it. No one was really expecting Martin to do much.

I think AJ is far better than he's been able to show. I am becoming a believer, not for what he's accomplished, but for the way he's accomplished it. He's a thinker and known when to close the show.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Sorry man, but that's a complete falacy.

Really?

"Anthony Joshua will be stopped by Charles Martin, says Tyson Fury"

http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/10162938/anthony-joshua-will-be-stopped-by-charles-martin-says-tyson-fury

He's just one, but plenty of fighters pegged Martin to beat Joshua for some bizarre reason. That's why they got salty when he took a dive.

I remember Wilder calling it a 50/50 fight beforehand.

You got to understand dude, people were straight jaded over Martin when he was never anything special.
