I'm genuienly surprised to see so many actually picking Breazeale to beat Wilder.
I've said myself that I don't think Wilder will have an easy night with Breazeale, he may even look bad at points in the fight, but come on... Breazeale is not world champion material. He's tough, yeah, and he's strong and big, but his footwork is non-existent and his hand speed is glacial. I can see him landing a few shots here and there but winning? No way. Say what you like about Wilder's skills but he got the job done against Ortiz. Ortiz is a significantly tougher challenge than Breazeale, if you ask me. Breazeale won't be allowed to lean on Wilder and so his weight advantage will be neutralised.
