Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Demolishes Breazeale in One Round

[hitking]

Yes, but if Klits had no technique and opted to open up wide risking with bombs like Wilder does, their foe's heads would be decapitated.

Wilder starched Breazeale with a short, straight right hand. He momentarily sent Fury’s brain into orbit with short, straight right hand. He scored the first KD in the Stiverne rematch with a perfect one-two straight down the middle splitting the guard. The first KD in the Ortiz fight was a straight lead right hand. He put Szpilka to sleep with a short, perfectly timed straight right hand. And the list goes on and on.

Wilder’s power doesn’t come from swinging for the fences. He can just crack. It is what it is. He’s also not nearly as wild as people make him out to be. He usually loses his technique when he has a guy hurt. And/or when he’s having trouble landing, gets frustrated, and starts pressing. When he fights under control. He actually has a really good jab that he works behind. And he does a nice job of setting up his punches.

You mean the ref stopped 21 of his opponents. AJ never knocked anyone out cleanly. Ref always jumped in and calls tko.

Oh because Whyte was going to get up from his KO?

Nah come on man, give Breazeale a break. He's a decent contender and risked his life and just been humiliated in the first round, in front of his family, and Jim Grey basically announces "no one wanted to see Breazeale anyway" to the world. That's pretty disrespectful.

Not dissing him at all
But I did want to hear what he had to say

Literally still had his left knee on the ground when the ref counted "Ten" you can rewind and see it. He then stood up and stumbled back into the ropes

Breazeale was up before the 10 count and he never wobbled after he stood up. Go watch it again.

Thank you for admitting it (Bold). Yes Wilder was the big favorite, and Fury fought his ass off. It was a great fight. Stop with Ortiz not top 10. Name 9 HW others better than Ortiz. AJ, Wilder, Fury, ... Whyte...?

My point is AJ is probably fighting Pulev next (joke as AJ destroys that statue, only interesting part will be the purse bid), and Fury lol who knows what bum Arum has him against next. Ortiz-Wilder2 will be the most entertaining fight of those 3 IMO. Obviously AJ-Wilder or WilderFury2 would be best but this is boxing so of course we cant have nice things

Joshua
Fury
Wilder
Whyte
Parker
Usyk
Joe Joyce
Daniel Dubois

I think these guys beat Ortiz

So maybe around 9th

WOW! Yes that was an incredible performance! Great win for Wilder!

I guess he will have cooled down for the post fight press conference. Sounds petty but if I was Breazeale I would never give Jim Gray an interview ever again.

I don’t think it took AJ a couple rounds to recover because he was hurt against Wlad. I think AJ blew his load in the fifth and was pretty much shot for a couple rounds. He was probably in worse shape than Wlad by the end of the fifth. And I believe the KD in the sixth was more fatigue than anything else.

I would pick AJ to beat Wilder. But AJ’s stamina issues would have me worried about that pick. Because if he gets tired against Wilder the way he did against Wlad and needs two or three rounds to catch his second wind. It’s gonna make it really tough to avoid getting hit with one of Wilder’s bombs. And even tougher to stay on his feet if he does catch a couple big shots.

I agree he was fatigued but I've never seen him that tired before or after that fight.

I think the KD made it worst. It's kinda like the same way Kovalev looked so winded after getting dropped by Alvarez.

I think it's safe to say Wilder will drop Joshua at some point if he doesn't get stopped first. I'd be curious to see if he's able to fully recover. That's the reason I give Wilder the edge. Wilder is more likely to end the fight than the other way around.

Go watch it cause that mofo was stumbling backwards
First sign of someone being fughed
The ref catches him

[D4thincarnation]

Because boxing. Why should any of this be a surprise to anyone? Mandatory should but doesn't ever mean no 1 ranked contender anymore.

Maybe because someone was paid some money to make it happen.

Now who would want Breazeale to be the no.1 contender and not Whyte.

I wonder.
