I had a dozen amateur fights and three rounders were already hard as hell, I still dont understand how you can condition yourself for 12 boxing rounds, but still be fat. lol

Obviously as you know pro fights are typically not fought at the high pace that amateur bouts are fought at but still I don't think he's going to have the stamina for 12. It's not going that far anyways.
Dummy Brazilian looking downright squidgy next to Joshua, but then so would most fighters. I can see Joshua letting this go a few rounds, just for kicks, then gets bored and topples him into oblivion.
It still amazes me how many "boxing fans" know so little about physiques and genetics!
Joshua obviously is blessed with incredible genetics and his muscles don't necessarily guarantee great conditioning for boxing.
Brezeale needs that loose skin to maintain his weight advantage that he and his team think is important to his success. If he trained to trim down and tighten up his body he would probably weigh in at 240lbs and then would need close to a year to build his strength back up for that weight.
Boxing isn't body building, the longer lean muscle that won't require as much oxygen as the body builder type will generally have more stamina as the rounds build and maintain his power too!
Maybe they should MRI these guys and get an idea of the size of their hearts?
Then see if the larger heart transitions to more will & desire!
