Breazeale has a legitimate shot

[Ruthless-RKO]

This isn't a test. Joshua picked a voluntary defence ofcourse. Why not pick Molina? or Duhaupas? Fighters who have had world title shots? a win over them would elevate AJ even more than a win against Breazeale.

Joshua to win within 5 rounds.

The first heavy shot Joshua lands Breazeale he will be knocked out or seriously hurt I'll be surprised if he last 3 rounds.

+1

I only recently watched the Brezealle - Mansour fight. It's on youtube if you watch it I think you will be convinced the above text is pretty much on the mark. I shall be lumping money on a KO1.

Breazeale could prove to be the legitimate, dangerous test that Chas. Martin was supposed to be

That is completely delusional nonsense... Breazeale has no chance whatever... He has the height, weight, reach, strength, and toughness because he cam absorb a very hard punch. He can also punch hard.. What he can't do is box.. He doesn't have the rudimentary skills a rank amateur should have. Dominic Breazeale taught himself how to box because he has no coaching. His coaches have no clue about anything. I guess he's gone back to Manny Robles who might be a small improvement over the guy he had, I can't remember the name of the Heavyweight who was training him.

The problems are his balance, stance, footwork, timing, and delivery. They're all screwed. HIs jab is terrible. He doesn't get it out effortlessly and easily or with any snap, power or accuracy. If you can't work the jab you're reduced to throwing power shots and you're a very sloppy fighter. He brawls. He's slops around. He uses his head to push and for leverage. He grabs and leans on people like Klitschko. He tries to smother them with his huge body. He's a like an orthodox Charles Martin but with more problems and fewer skills. He's fought a couple half good fighters in Mansour and Kassi - very short, old, and half adept guys. He beat them with sheer size, strength. and athleticism, but no skills - looking like a talented football player who came out of the audience, pulled a pair of gloves on, and started swinging. He looked a hair better in the Mansour fight. At least he threw more and didn't get battered with every single punch. But he's wide open. This will be embarrassing for America.

You say he has no rudimentary skills a rank amateur has!!
You do realise he is a Olympian and how hard it is to get there don't you?

Do you think he looks like a skilled fighter? The pro fights I've seen him in suggests that his skill level is pretty close to what Kalan expressed above.

Unfortunately there are many Olympic Heavyweight boxers who get there on sheer size, strength, height, weight, reach, power, toughness, and athleticism.. Even Wilder was better than Breazeale.. If you're into Olympians with boxing skills watch Breazeale's next fight. You won't be disappointed.. Joshua has fewer pro fights and far fewer professional rounds than Breazeale, but he can box. Plus it's a free fight so tune in.

How bad was the US SHW amateur scene when Breazeale made the Olympic team? Sure, he's big and has shown some cumulative pop at a lower level, but he's also painfully slow, clumsy, and easy to hit.

His fortunate win over Kassi and 44-50 x 3 struggles against Mansour show how limited he is when his opponents have a pulse, and AJ is obviously well above that baseline.

i saw him fight in birmingham ala when wilder fought duhaupas. he is fat and has man tits. everyone booed when he won against kassi.
