this is the most work i've ever put into the start of a thread

[ono]

Short fight for AJ. Easy work. Brezeale is terrible. He's out of shape and was going life and death with Amir Mansour in January. He paws his jab and AJ will just throw over the top of it and probably knock him into the stands.

Congratulations to Eddie Hearn though, he's managed to find an unbeaten Heavyweight who is worse than Martin

[Fenster]

An American Olympian Al Haymon fighter. Makes sense.

Going by the Mansour fight he'll do well to get out the first round.

[Memphis]

Brezeale is probably the highest ranked fighter in the IBF they could get. He's pony and going to get twatted inside 3 rounds. My mum could shoot a right hand over his jab and she's 5 foot nothing with bad knees.

Another heavyweight who will be talked up as dangerous at the pre fight press conferences

To be fair no one has ever sold a fight on the back of 'look he's horse shit but it's all we could get'

[Mark TKO]

Box Office my arse

[erics44]

he cant be total shit, he must be alright to have gotten to the Olympics

and he must have a chin, and he must be capable of landing a few punches

putting his last fight down as a bad start I think it might creep past 3

Say what you want Joshua and Eddie Hearn but the fact is, this is Johsua's 4th young (30 and under) undefeated fighter he's gonna face in a row. That's tough match making in my book. As with any undefeated fighter, they could be anything, same applies to Brezeale who was an Olympian for the USA in 2012. For a 1st defence I think Brezeale is more than a respectable opponent.

[El Kabong]

Should be an easy fight for AJ, won't last 4 rounds if AJ has his mind right.

He was never going to take on anyone like Wilder or Haye for his first defence was he, it is frustrating because we all think he needs to fight the best in order to be tested.
His power alone will take him through the B tier but you can see why they don't want to throw him in with the elite straight away.

Only problem now is that he is holding a world title so people will be demanding the big names sooner rather than later, also Hearn is going to keep putting him in with unknown fighters with a decent paper record and putting it on PPV purely because Joshua is now a 'name' with the general public and the casual fans.

Who says looking like shat over last couple fights doesn't reap rewards Breazele was in the abyss vs Mansour and you can make a case he lost to Kassi as well. Should be a breeze for Joshua if he stays smart though 6'7 with decent pop and having the chips cashed in on you is nothing to take for granted.

I don't think the Kassi fight was that close at all, I was hoping kassi was going to win as he seems like a really interesting guy but I thought that breazeale was a comfortable winner there.. He had a good performance v the cuban fellow who was undfeated at the time but he has since went on to be stopped 3 times in a row :S... He was definently fortunate he cut mansours tongue in half with a punch( I remember him landing a really good one on amir, so there is that at least :S) otherwise he could well have been out of there, he was very nearly ko'd.

I suspect joshua will put him away when mansour just fell a little bit short but to be fair I think that says more about joshua than breazeale, if he blasts him out as we expect then it would be pretty impressive in my opinion.

There is certainly better options out there for joshua to face(maybe even mansour) but they want to get him exposure in america, so a blow out of an undefeated Olympian american with an 88% ko rate will look very good on paper for him.... the truth really isnt important here :S
