I felt very nervous when Gutknecht was in cruise control vs Groves. I was even screaming "STOP the fight". I'm feeling the same type of nervousness for Dom Breazeale. Call me crazy but I hope they do not allow the fight to continue for too long. I'd actually be fie with a premature stoppage. Quite frankly it's a total mismatch.
No. Joshua pounded Breazeale and still took over 6 rounds to get the win. Wilder doesn't have that relentless combination punching that AJ does so I expect it to go longer, maybe even on the cards. You don't KO Breazeale by hitting him once, waiting a minute then hitting him once again. Wilder will win in a dominant fashion, but how he wins is unclear.
For me it usually happens when past their best fighter takes on a dangerous younger guy. The two most recent for me were Soto vs Rios (which turned out way better than I thought) and Klitschko vs Joshua (which had the ending was afraid of as a Klitschko fan but was far better than I thought). I'm not terrified for Breazale, he's just going to get knocked out like most of Wilder's opposition, he'll live and fight on.
Not nervous per say but any time Tommy Morrison would fight man was he good, but boy did he have a glass chin. Keep you on the edge of your seat!
Ya Joshua about got the ten count against an older Klitschko very underrated champion. Afraid he will be forgotten in the history books very unfortunate!
You could be right but I feel it is usually the opposite. Long reigning champs at heavyweight tend to be remembered more fondly after years of retirement. Lewis being a prime example, an all time great unbeatable champ now but had plenty of critics at the time.
GGG-Canelo 2 I was nervous for GGG he was being walked down when I thought if ginger stood his ground he would get kod........ Hurd-Lara I wanted Lara to win it was so close........Floyd --pac . .............Floyd looked svared.......
I literally almost had a heart attack right after the opening bell in Pacquiao-Rios. Pac had been iced by the roided right hand of JMM and was coming back from a year long last off. I didn't know if Pac would evaporate Thanos Snap style at the first power shot that Rios lands.
I was a bit nervous for Fury pre-Wilder. Had no idea what sort of Fury we were going to get.. needn’t have worried, but at the time thought it might be over quickly.
