Comments Thread For: Wallin: Breazeale Is A Come-Forward Guy And He's Going To Try To Hurt Me

Maybe that one punch was t enough to ruin a career. I think prolonged beatings are worse than one shot. The 12 round torturous drubbing at the hands of wilder on stiverne clearly ruined him....that beating that resulted in a hospital visit destroyed Stiverne’s ability to take a punch and seemed to kill his ability or desire to train properly. That was literally the last time I saw wilder box and move, jab, give angles, and be proactive with punches. He’s been lazy ever since.

It helped wilder stiverrne is a very slow fighter..

I believe he's been out of action since the Wilder loss?

Either way, yeah looking forward to the fight

You're right, I was thinking how he came back from when AJ KO'd him, still it showed resilience.

That fight Wilder looked like a guy that had really turned the corner & learned how to box. Stiverne thought he could take a few punches to set traps to counter attack like he did in both Arreola fights but he clearly had no idea how hard Wilder could punch. He took a terrible beating & I agree Stiverne was ruined after that fight. When i think of a fight that ruined a career this fight is on top of the list.

This is a huge fight in the HW division in my opinion. On paper I would lean towards Breazeale as the favourite but I don’t know much about Wallin. I said it in other threads that he beat a bunch of weaker opponents then had a UD over Granat who got KO’d by Dimitrenko in 1 round, he lost to Tyson Fury & won by injury retirement over Kauffman. Still has something to prove in my opinion. Breazeale is the biggest puncher he has faced yet. Breazeale is slow & easy to hit so we will see what kind of power he has. Breazeale has been floored by Wilder, Mansour, Ugonoh & Negron. He has always got up & came back to win except against Wilder. If Wallin can’t hurt Breazeale he could be in some trouble & will have to rely on his boxing skills. Breazeale will be going for the KO aggressively if Wallin can’t gain his respect. Breazeale has beaten this kind of opponent before. This is Wallin’s 2nd step up. Kauffman I rated at the same level.
