[hitking]

Joshua is very good. If Wladimir is truly DONE, this kid is the future of the division.

American HW boxing is in a really bad state right now...

Breazeale showed a lot of heart but nothing else.

Not sure I would place him as one of our top heavyweights is surprising tho for that reason specifically that so many Americans hate wilder

Those damn crooked refs in the UK! In the last knockdown nothing landed clean a Jab is what put Breazeale down! and he did not get a ten count but thats how things work in the UK you cant get wobbled or hurt if you're the foreigner or they will rob you a chance to come back and win.

I don't disagree with you but it's like that in all British fights - someone gets vaguely hurt and it gets called off. Its bad for us because it stops fighters from coming here to fight from other countries.

It's hard to have much sympathy for Breazale though. In his own words he was fighting a "hype job" and he spent 7 rounds getting knocked around the ring by the 'hype job'. I think realistically all that would have happened if the fight went on was that Breazeale would have taken a lot more punishment. Ref probably did him a favour.

I will never tire of watching a Brit spank a yank.

You have no reason to tire....it doesn't happen enough

A win over a fat bum gets you weak losers talking smack...that says a LOT about you soft mofos.

None of your "champs" are there for the long haul.

Brook and Degale are hanging on by a thread.

Joshua won't be around long...his mouth was open in the 3rd round against a guy that wasn't doing anything.

Fury is 27 but looks 47...he's not sticking around.
Liam Smith is about to get his a.ss whipped by Canelo.

Hurry up and talk shi.t while you can...the party will be over soon.

Heavyweight is in a bad state Worldwide.

Wilder beats them all...just watch.

King Kong.

i bet joshua would have trouble with wilders reach that wilder picks him apart and knocks him out.

Lol, the guy was clearly done. He was taking unnecessary punishment at that point. Granted he went down off the air from Joshua's glove, but that in itself shows how much he had left to offer.

After the spate of head injuries this year you can't be too careful. It was obvious what the result of the fight was going to be eventually.

You're too easilly impressed.

Breazeale was a slow, stiff human punchbag

I'm not sure how he made it to round 7, given he was dropped by a cruiser-weight in his last fight

I don't think Jousha power is what it is made out to be

Shame Breazeale has no skills, would have liked to have seen Jousha take a few shots

I would like to see Jousha vs Ortiz, but Hearn would never risk it

Eubank Jr and Groves were far more impressive

i totally agree with this especially about his power,
the more im watching joshua the more im convinced he doesnt hit as hard as i first thought...

i mean breazeale who hasnt really fought anyone went seven rounds with him...

ive always thought fury would beat aj but the more i watch aj the more i think it will be an easy fight for fury,
the height, reach, fast hands and feet will cause aj nightmares,
i think that when aj will feel someone hitting him back with power then he'll think twice before rushing in landing...

either way this guy breazale came to try unlike martin the waste man lol

just to add imo if joseph parker tightens up his defence even he'll cause aj some issues

This performance: AJ's feet were flat.. Jab was slow.. Backed straight up.. No cutting off the ring.. Looked very vulnerable on the inside..

2.5 stars.
