I thought the count might have been a little fast, but it didn't matter, Breazeale was on queer street when he got up. He couldve had someone elses legs underneath him and not known the difference. Wilder has improved a little. Particularly new was the uppercut he tried and missed on. Still it would seem like his form is causing unnecessary wear and tear on his body and will be a threat to his longevity. Its exciting to swing for the fences on every punch but it can be hell when you land and hell when you miss.

The shot that ended the fight came in typical Wilder fashion. He shot the jab and kept the right hand behind the body/lead shoulder. Breazeale, had his left hand practically in his pocket and he was trying to shoot from the hip. I didn't think he'd last to the opening bell to be honest. His footwork couldn't have been worse with two wooden legs. This was a showcase for Wilder and wilder makes these fights look easier than they should be because his opponents stand in front of him thinking they're out of range or or focusing on offense because they know that he's prone to getting clipped. I don't think theres a huge problem with his chin as much as him not seeing the punches coming because hes usually swinging big. If you want to be wilder, you have to get your legs into the fight and give him angles to neutralize the reach. Jabbing him out of position and feinting him to keep him from setting his feet.

Is Joshua capable of that.... Possibly. The issue with Joshua is hes used to walking down opponents that he has outgunned and advancing behind the jab to open guys up with combos. Which is beautiful if you're already inside. Joshuas a big target and if he stands in front of Wilder coming in, he'll be precisely where he doesn't want to be.. Most opponents have taken to try to circle to wilders left (away from that right hand and under estimating its ranginess). Joshua jabbing over the jab and turning him will take some of that away. Sooner or later Wilder is going to uncork the right hand behind the jab even if hes out of position, turned, off balance because its what he knows. Joshua cant get to overzealous and combo happy or he risks paying for it.
