18th Wilder V Breazeale : Thought and Predictions

If Wilder gets KOed he officially looses 100 mil.

 

It isn't a terrible fight, but it is terribly disappointing. I was hoping for Fury/Wilder II this month and the winner to face AJ in the fall. Now, it appears none of the three will face each other this year. Hard for me to give a **** about the HW division when they don't fight each other. Whether it's Wilder in this fight or Joshua getting sparked or Fury going back on the powder, something is going to blow it all up.

This year has been terrible.

 

As always Wilder will get troubled and buzzed by a punch or two but Brezeale isn't good enough to finish him. Then Wilder eventually will find a lucky punch somewhere late in the fight.

 

Bomb squad KO in the 6th

 

Head says Wilder. Heart says DB. It's a decent fight. Should be fireworks while it lasts and is definitely better than any of the other upcoming big HW fights involving the top 3.

 

Wilder fans need to hang off of everything he's doing right now as Wilder and his team aren't giving them much to celebrate at the moment. Look out for the 'it was like watching Ali schooling Foreman all over again' comments or 'not even Iron Mike would have pulled off a KO like that!' kind of comments.

I'm actually feeling a little sorry for Wilder fanbois at the moment, what with the recent turning down of $120 million dollar DAZN deal and Finkel saying that they won't even look at the unification fight with Joshua until at least 2020.

They've basically got Wilder cleaning up the PBC of its heavyweight rosta to look forward to and........that's pretty much it.

Onto the fight at hand and it will either be Wilder early if the beef is bought into it or Breazeale will once again prove his durability and go down fighting in the later rounds after giving Wilder a few hairy moments. Given that Breazeale can swat a bit himself, I expect the latter with Wilders usual cautious, low output and ambushing Breazeale late on with a few right hands/ windmills.

Still hope that Breazeale pulls off the upset thou as I was rather hoping Whyte may get his chance late 2020 once the WBC finally make him mandatory but, on evidence that'll happen in the mid 2020's..........pffft.

 

No chance Wilder gets dropped here

 

Wilder keeps getting "lucky" with that punch. Perhaps his skill set plays a role in landing those fight changing shots

 

The inverse is also true. Brazeale punches harder than Fury but is so much easier to find.

 

I think a lot of people underestimate Fury's power

 

Well he fights tomato cans so he gets away with being sloppy and having no defense. Tomato cans who slow down around round 6-7 so Wilder can take them out.

It's no coincidence Wilder's handlers are carefully protecting him from anyone with a pulse.

 

I think (hope) Breazeale gives Wilder a drawn out Golota/Bowe style beating, then loses via DQ on a rabbit punch, or something like that.
