All the talk from Wilder calling out AJ, rumors swirling he's going to fight Breazeale next, no wonder he's not going to Cardiff on Saturday...
When Wilder KO's Breazeale brutally in the first, here'll come the "Oh.... AJ ruined him!!! AJ ruined him!!!" crowd. The same exact ones who acted like AJ KOing Molina quicker than Wilder was concrete proof that AJ's power>>>>Wilder's, in fact.
Not surprising, he's ranked number 2 by the WBC, been on a decent run and is a Haymon fighter so again Haymon win or lose keeps control of the belt. Personally I think it's a solid fight, Breazeale would give us a nice comparison vs Joshua and with his chin and power will be dangerous. Wilder should win though, Breazeale has no jab and his technique is so poor he makes Wilder look like Wlad. But he'll be criticized for taking this fight. Joshua is the fight we all want, but to be fair to Wilder even Hearn would prefer it later in the year so you can't say he's ducking Joshua. But Whyte would be a far bigger payday, is ranked number 1 by the WBC and is more deserving of a shot than Breazeale. Critics will say Wilder is ducking Whyte when in reality it's Haymon once again forcing Wilder to fight another Haymon fighter for peanuts and letting Wilder take the criticism for Haymon's decisions.
Joshua/Parker winner Povetkin (gap) Joshua/Parker loser Ortiz rematch (gap) every other possible opponent
I love brazeale but I hope he retires soon He is going to end up punchy with all the shots he’s taken AJ beat him up badly Mansiur gave him hell That polish guy beat him up too Wilder will finish him for good
