    I'm looking forward to Saturday night's NBC heavyweight card.

    Al Haymon may love junior welterweights, but most mainstream sports fans could care less.

    If PBC is really going to take off in the U.S. ... the heavyweights have to play a big role.

    It could all begin Saturday with PBC's night of the heavyweights card.

    Expecting a night of big KOs. :happy

    I can't wait to see Wilder get KO'd. Haymon will be ushering in the Duhaupas era of Heavyweight boxing.

    Three mismatches, maybe except for Breazeale-Kassi. Both Wilder and Martin should be being matched with better opponents.

    Martin's pace is ridiculously slow. He turned pro about the same time with Gerald Washington who's fighting Amir Mansour soon and Martin's still fighting yet another bum.

    Martin is younger I believe. Maybe they want to develop him on a slower pace than Breazeale, and Washington who are both over 30.
    I like Breazeale because of his solid inside game. He reminds me a bit of Rid**** Bowe.........A slower less skilled version, but nonetheless there are style similarities.
    I think Down the road he could be in some exciting fights if his chin holds up.

    The night of mismatches. One must have a special talent to produce that. I love heavyweights but the whole event is trash.

    Probably only Breazeale v Kassi is an acceptable fight.

    Poor judgment, Duhaupas has a grade A+ iron chin (really never been hurt in all his 34 fights)

    Wilder should be able to outbox Duhaupas, if Wilder tries to score a KO he will be dettered by Duhaupas iron chin & under-rated effective counter punching that usually sapped the offense of all his previous 34 opponents

    Duhaupas hasn't faced any power puncher except from Teper.

    I agree about the Bowe comparison, but where do you see a speed/skill disparity??:huh:huh:huh

    We havent seen Brazeale take bombs like we did Bowe, or throw defense comepletely out the window, but inside, the fighting styles are very similar, and I would dare say Brazeale has the better 1-2, at least so far agaisnt limited competition. :think

    Bowe threw more fluid combos, and could rip off 3-5 punch combos pretty quick for a big guy.
    I don't see Breazeale as slow btw. Just not as quick handed as Bowe was. His right hand is straighter than Bowes was. Bowe liked to loop his right a lot.
    TBH he probably has a better pro style than Wilder, and would maul Wilder on the inside if he didn't catch too many rights on the way in.

    I'll be cheering for Duhaupas too, but Wilders team picked him for a reason.... In addition to lacking power his backfoot style plays right into Wilders hands.

    Says who?? Why do people always feel fighter should rush themselves to levels they aren't ready for? They rushed David Price up to a level he wasn't ready for(fighting Thompson after just 15 fights) and look at him now. He's pretty much finished and history.

    People said the same about Wilder, that he was taking a ridiculously long time to step up. It's worked out alright for him. He is the WBC champion. And will probably take on both Povetkin and Wlad next year and make about $30+ million dollars. Sometimes it pay to take it slow.

    They did the right thing with Martin. They let him take his time and develop so he won't be another David Price when he step up.

    He's much more of a front-foot fighter. The Charr fight he was on the back foot because he was easily able to outbox his opponent, but look at his other fights on youtube, including Teper, and he's most definitely front-foot heavy.
