Joshuar v Brezeale June 25th

[palmerq]

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

Oh yeh I think had it a draw but Kassi really put a spotlight on how lumbering and near stone structure slow Breazeale can be. Thought he out hustled and made him look silly with shifting in spots, his inside game is near void but literally a coin flip on cards. Its a very good 'big picture' match up for Joshua..U.S Olympian, undefeated and one with much exposure in lead up.. for Joshua really and if anything Breazeale will be dangerous with the lumber via upperhooks. Blind spots are your friend.
