Anthony Joshua vs Dominic Breazeale

[Tarkus]

Joshua in 3 or 4 entertaining rounds. Breazeale doesn't have a great chin or skills, but he has a ton of heart and belief.

How do you know that? Before the fight everyone is brave. Martin was comparing himself to God and then refused to get off of the floor.

Everyone has heart till they get punched in the mouth, something Iron Mike has never said.

I've actually watched him fight. Give it a try, it's very helpful in forming opinions.

LOL. I watched his fights. Yes he came through a little bit of adversity with Mansour, but it was a close fight with a little guy. It is much different facing big hitter like Joshua especially when you are getting badly outboxed. I think thats what happened to Martin and I think he was as determined as Breazeale.

[foxdog1923]

Mansour did the best a 43 year old 6ft1 220 pounder who's heavely injured could do at the moment he fought Breazeale, somehow the ref didn't flag it of and because of the injury it's enough to keep his 0.
Mansour still was obviously better as Breazeale.
Joshua isn't 43, isn't 6ft1 and isn't 220 pound, Joshua is a lot bigger, similar muscled, a lot more heavy, and a lot younger and next to all that, NOT INJURED. So yes, Joshua can make Breazeale look like an complete idiot, even a heavely injured elderly did.

Breazeale is like a Hyundai, Mansour like a broken Volkswagen and Joshua like a brand new Mercedes.

You're not answering the question. You're just like Kalan when you know the answer is not what you like.

Ok let's not mention Mansour and Breazeale cause you will talk about that fight entirely to avoid the answers to my question. We're PRETENDING HERE. Let's say Dillian Whyte KOS Charles Martin in round one, will you say Whyte is better than Joshua because he KOd him in faster time? That's what you did with Parker and you BELIEVED that and stood by it, will you stand by your belief now that it works against Joshua?

2 questions, please answer.

That matters what the fight looks like, if Parker KO's Glazkov in 4 doesn't mean he's worse as Martin since we have all seen Glazkov simply had an injury against Martin.

No. You answer the questions. If you dont answer the questions then we both know why. Answer the questions or this will PROVE you dont know shlt about boxing.

You must have been knocked hard and often lol. Are you a sparringspartner of Whyte?

[PredatorHayds]

Joshua to win by knockout in the first 4 rounds.

I think Breazeale brings more ambition to the table than Martin. It could be exciting whilst it lasts.

not really that interested breazeale is just saying the usual pre fight stuff before he gets poleaxed and then people will be chiming on about how great of a fighter aj is and unbeatable when its all still too early to say

Too early to say. In this division. Sure.

[marvelous marv]

Breazeale has serious defensive flaws. He is gonna get hit early and often.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Joshua is going to keep steamrollering people until he fights someone with good defensive skills and a punch who can take him a few rounds and hit him back.

[funso banjo baby]

the slow motion replays of the Mansour fight show Breazeale landing a nasty short uppercut inside that was felt did the damage to Amir.
coupled with Breazeales thumping back of the head shots to put Consuegra down, it would appear that Breazeale is ugly and lacks finesse but is crudely effective.

whether he'll get the chance to rough up Joshua remains to be seen.

round 2 ko for Anthony seems to be the best bet

[asdfjkl]

If Wilder continues to avoid Povetkin I'd like to see Joshua vs Povetkin

[handsofstone]

People do keep saying that Breazeale was lucky to get the Mansour win due to Amir's injury,what i will say is that Dominic's shots caused the injury so i dont buy into the "luck" angle,if it was an accidental butt or elbow that caused it fair enough but it seemed legal from what i know

It was like when people saying Beltran was lucky in the Burns fight because Ricky had to box with a broken jaw,totally disregarding the fact that Raymundo broke Burns jaw himself with a punch

Breazeale has tons of heart from what ive seen,just no real ability at this level

[crusader]

I've read that Mansour retired from the Breazeale fight due to a self-inflicted tongue rip rather than a broken jaw. Not sure if it's true and it certainly sounds odd...

Yeah i read that too,i shouldve made myself clearer,i just mentioned Beltran/Burns due to people claiming 1 fighter is lucky because the other is injured due to a legal shot

I never knew about the tongue injury until recently,probably when the Breazeale fight was announced,i thought at the time it was a jaw injury but i didnt know it was meant to be self inflicted

If it was self inflicted then maybe Breazeale could count himself a bit lucky but it does seem a bit iffy,unless Mansour considers leaving his toungue hanging out whilst taking a shot self inflicted,maybe i would say its his own fault

Didn't Mansour have a cold too which made his breathing struggle?

Good so NOW you know that just cause Whyte KO'd Minto faster is does NOT mean hes better than Parker. Otherwise Joshua would have to get a KO before 3rd round to be better than Mansour and we both know it doesnt matter what round Joshua KOs him in, Joshua is still better than Mansour.

Yes, a shallow division means yo get less credit for fighting not even top 20 fighters, not more.

Murray-Groves is the fight that interests me

Incidentally, Groves sparred GGG a year or so ago and just admitted that GGG landed big shots in the first sparring session they had, then cracked his rib in the second.

Yea, but Whyte still is better as Parker, Joshua will KO Breazeale within 3 rounds and Mansour didn't, he never KOed him at all.
