It's now time to face the truth,AJ is over rated. Dillian whyte took ages to stop an utter bum tonight and he is AJ;s best win. The man has over rated power and robotic movement.
AJ looked OK, he lacks some ring smarts and variety.. Does not use his jab enough and does not have the crazy handspeed that Sky make out..
I think I underestimated and disrespected Breazeale, he took some great shots, far tougher than I thought. Don't misunderstand me, Breazeale was technically awful but he showed tons of heart, courage and a decent chin tonight so fair play to him. Whyte looked a little bit off but he has been out of action for a while and he is coming off surgery so I will give him a pass.
He also lacks defense and head movement. AJ's toughness and chin remain unknown quantities. Well he was a little chinny in the amateurs. AJ is good to very good, but far from great like Klitschko or Lewis.
Breazeale is not a good hw, worse than any of Wilder's picks, and Joshua huffed and puffed for 7. Whyte, who is Joshua's best win, also looked horrible against a Euro bum, so what does that say?
Breazeale isn't great but at least he had heart and gave it a go unlike that charlatan Martin and is better than a lot of Deontay's opponents. As for Whyte the matchup was just poor. Bacurin came to survive and was a stupid ch9oice for a fight with Whyte by Eddie. Whyte didn't look great but he was never going to against an opponent that knew he couldn't win and brought his bike. At least he finished him faster than any previous opponent. Eddie has to find a proper opponent for the next fight though.
