Off the top of my head British and American HWs who were undefeated for a while but were limited.

It's Joshua 1st title defense so it's no big deal with it being this easy, but I hope he fights a bigger opponent after this. Either Wilder, Haye or the Fury/Wlad 2 winner
I dunno gil, Breazeale was reasonably good at football and may be a little taller than Joshua, so this could be it for AJ.
I mean in all seriousness it's never out of the question that a guy can win by knockout out of the blue. Especially at Heavyweight, but I'd be truly shocked if Breazeale pulled this off. He's been thoroughly unimpressive every time I've seen him fight.
He has size and balls. I know that shouldn't make you a contender for any title but that's all Fury had. Granted, Breazeale has a much tougher hurdle than the reluctant Ko artist that is Wlad.

Breazale has no prayer. Stop with this nonsense.

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.

Fury has far more talent than Breazeale. That was a ridiculous comparison.

Yeah, if you ignore everything else he had. By yeah the guy that beat a couple domestic fighters has proven himself way more than the former long reigning champion.

And they still have a plan after they get hit... It's a 12 round fight... Are you going to get hit in the first round??? The plan might not get you all 12 rounds.

TBH, I think Hughie Fury would win against Breazeale, I wonder who AJ is going to fight next. I hope Povetkin, or Ortiz.

Hughie vs Breazeale would be a real interesting fight actually. I would go with Breazeale. Neither can box very well at this stage and Breazeale is a little stronger and bigger... It would be a slop house fight, where tonight's fight will be clean... controlled by AJ... and over.

Hughie Fury can box very well. The question is can he punch.

The gulf in talent is made fairly clear in H. Fury's easy win over Kassi, who Brezeale struggled with, despite him being extremely lethargic.

joshua is gonna blast out breazeale in a few rounds but if breazeale stands and trades with AJ it might make it interesting while it lasts, i'm really hoping groves v murray is a good fight.

To my surprise, the bookies predict a first!!! round KO win from Anthony Joshua to be the most likely!

Not round 3, not round 2, but seriously round 1 KO gives you the least money back of all predictions you can chose out.

I personally think Breazeale makes it till round two and then the ref has probably no option left but flagging it of.

I thought he looked pretty good, albeit against a limited opponent. He picked his spots well and was sharp with the jab and counter hook...looking more like a boxer-puncher than a big banger who just comes forward and bombs people out.

He's due for a step-up in levels now.

They fight went pretty much as I saw it, only it went one round extra. Anyway Breazeale ended up being a good test for Joshua. Wonder whos next?

You shouldnt worry too much about the bookies.
