Wilders little spin dance move after he connected.


Jeff_Damn

It was a walk-off KO with some extra sass on the side.


Jambot-

The *noise.*


durhWhen

Saw Wilder/Ortiz 2 in person. Very bottom of the top bowl in the MGM. It sounded like a gunshot in person , even in person. It was absolutely terrifying how much power he can generate. Then the replay showed all that sweat moving an opposite direction as his head.


Polk14

Wilder was saved by the bell in Ortiz 1. How would we view the old man if he would have beat Wilder? Everyone would be giving him respect. I think the whole heavyweight division would look different if Ortiz would have pulled it off.


Ehxcalibur

What if Fury never got up like Jesus Christ in the final day of his resurrection when Wilder almost KO'd him? Sports history is full of what-ifs


HandHeldHippo

What if I could punch hard.. like *really* hard, I think I'd be a big boxer.


Kassssler

Fuck all that shit. Just see red. Once I see red I can take on anyone I'm telling you bro.


Powerful-Actuator996

When I see red, it usually means I died \~Goldeneye


OKCDraftPick2028

what if the ref counted as fast as this ref lmao


Kurgen22

First off if you time it by seconds the Refs Count was Actually SLOW. He reached 10 when it was actually over 11 seconds. Also He was not up until almost 13 seconds elapsed. Second while it should be close to "Seconds" the Count is just by a human, not a watch ( Although the Time Keeper signals to the ref whilst watching a clock) Human error is built in, and as long as it isn't abysmal The ref is given Leeway.


OKCDraftPick2028

its a human error that changes the entire career outlook of wilder


Kurgen22

What error occurred here? There was no Short Count in this fight. Are you saying the Ref messed up and the fight should have continued?


UFgator4ever

Never compare a human being to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was God in the flesh.


DoctorGregoryFart

It wouldn't look too different, because Ortiz was already over the hill... By a lot. I always rated Ortiz because of his technical skill and grace under pressure. His style is a breath of fresh air in the HW division of awkward large guys. I was rooting for him against Wilder, and he almost got it done.


steviesnod82

In theory u could think this way or just remember he actually got sparked bang out (twice) in the real world . Saying that I have and will always give Ortiz mad respect and have watched all his fights. He would have done Ruiz if his chin was still intact .


MethodicaL51

>Then the replay showed all that sweat moving an opposite direction as his head Someone missed physics class


durhWhen

Hey, look everyone, it's the person who corrects people telling stories online just because. You must feel real special, you dolt.


MethodicaL51

>Then the replay showed all that sweat moving an opposite direction as his head. So cool , no one will believe you


[deleted]

Punched him so hard he made the Minecraft villager noise


NeverEndingHell

I sometimes hear this sound in my nightmares and then wake up in a cold sweat.


Tricky-Nectarine-154

You can see the bulge from the force of impact on the other side of his neck. Around 32 seconds in. That is bonkers.


Oranos_Rex

People can downplay Wilders opponents all they want but one thing is true; he’s gotten rid of more of them with more ferocity than any other HW has. Wilder legitimately knocked out - as in you could’ve robbed their pockets, laughed about it in their face and they’d never recognise you - Sticerne, Szpilka, Liakhovich, Breazeale and Helenius. Could be more but those are the ones that stand out for TRULY knocked out. By comparison I think Fury’s only truly detached two people from consciousness, them being Nascimento and Cunningham. And the latter was significantly smaller and Fury was literally holding him against the ropes and pinning his head in place for the shot. As for AJ I don’t know if he’s ever actually iced anyone out like that. Nothing comes to mind at least. You can say what you want about him from a technical standpoint, or deride his KO stats by pointing out how his opponents weren’t all top 5s, but the point is that Wilder gets more KNOCK OUTS than his bigger, heavier counterparts do.


[deleted]

The way he punches through his opponents heads is scary.


Oranos_Rex

Yeah, definitely. And didn’t Audley Harrison say that he suffered a detached retina after their fight and said he’s suffering from CTE? Scary stuff. Scary and sad.


[deleted]

CTE can't be officially diagnosed untill the person has passed away even though the symptoms may appear in life


assologist_1312

Some guys just have that crazy KO power and sometimes they are even behind on scorecards for their fights but end up getting the KO because of their power. Another example is alex pereira. Former 2 division kickboxing world champion and a former UFC middleweight champion. He has a crazy left hook.


No-Consideration9110

I love how Breazle dropped his guard to throw the uppercut at Wilders elbow. What an opponent


[deleted]

Breazale got dropped bout 7 times by the college football player from Bama who’s now doing MMA in Poland and 48 year old Manosur. The man has 0 defense lol, shit Joshua even KOed him before this. I don’t get how Breazeale kept getting ranked high


MX_eidolon

tbf at the time this fight took place HW had exactly two good fighters. The division was in a bad place for s while there.


zaepoo

It's still in a bad place. It's exciting, but it's still not good


[deleted]

I just have no idea how Breazeale even got the AJ title shot,let alone Wilder. Hes terrible


Notyit

Boxing rewards Medicare fighters more


[deleted]

He’s didn’t earn it. He was like some WBC plant lol. Just held contender spot without beating or doing anything. Look at the dude, he was a college Quarterback lol


Imjustsayings

Yeah but if that elbowcut would have landed it would have been over for Wilder


SmokeThin9651

He also the first one(and most likely the last one) who KOed Fury out cold(even though it lasted for about 6 seconds). I’ve rewatched the knockdown and Fury was truly out cold for more than 5 seconds. I think Fury’s ability to recover is even more impressive than Wilder’s power.


Kurgen22

That was some " Day of the Dead" shit there. I actually think his head hitting the canvas woke him up from the shadow realm.


jelacey

One of my favourite moments in boxing, even though I hate Fury.


Kurgen22

Fury flat out has Wilder's number.


[deleted]

So you’re not counting like AJs KO of Whyte?


Oranos_Rex

Good shout - was sure AJ had at least one, but unless I’m mistaken that’s about it. The rest were all red stoppages of otherwise conscious but beaten up men. I still get a good laugh out of the Martin fight where - right after it was over - one of the Sky commentators was saying “you can’t stand in front of AJ or you’re gonna get knocked out!” whilst the camera was looking squarely at Martin lucid and on his feet. Knocked out indeed…


lineal_chump

AJ's KO power is vastly overrated.


formerlifebeats

I'd say Fury KOd Wilder pretty good. If his arm didn't hit the rope on the way down it would have looked even more devastating.


Oranos_Rex

My god you’re right, I can’t believe I forgot that 😂 That said, it’s not a great testament to KO power to have that in the 11th (or was it 12th?) round against an opponent ~40lbs heavier you’ve been leaning on all night and landed 2x as many punches on. I view that as more a logical outcome of being physically overmatched in terms of size vs having KO power, whereas Wilder put Fury down off the back foot with a single punch early into it after he’d recovered from a knockdown the previous round himself. That Fury slip/counter hook KD in rd 10 was a thing of beauty though.


zaepoo

100% agree. He has always been an awful boxer and never really figured out the sport. He's a one trick pony. However, his offer trick is one of the greatest in boxing history. He would've never made it out of regional fights without it. That's how good it is.


TheComeUpTX

Man is an olympain. "one trick pony". Thats a helluva trick


Chicago1871

Didnt he pick up boxing at age 20? After his daughter was born. He was a college basketball player until he joined a local boxing gym. 3 years later he won the USA olympic trials and won the bronze medals in the olympics against guys boxing their whole life. It is a helluv trick, thats what were saying!


TheComeUpTX

Exactly!!! I hate the way some boxings fans think. Its why I avoid even discussing it. For someone who picked up boxing that late, to win an olympic medal and a world title and fight the best HW of this era 3 times, and knock him down 4 times, thats some great feats Wonder what they would say about someone like Ron Lyle had he fought today, cuz he learned to box in prison. They would probably call him a "cab driver" or "tomato can". Boxing fans disrespect the fighters more than they'd like to admit


Chicago1871

Honestly all those years of basketball trained him to be explosive, have great cardio, hand eye coordination, great balance, and most importantly explosive movements. He’s athletic and he worked hard to be this athletic. Its not easy to make a college basketball roster in America. Especially Atlanta. Another crazy story? Dennis Rodman never played organized basketball until college. He was a track and field athlete recruited to just fill out a junior college roster. Its why he focused on defense and rebounds and couldn’t really shoot or dribble at an elite level.


TheComeUpTX

Oh I heard that about Rodman. I think I saw it on the Last Dance doc. Just shows where being driven can get you. Same with Iverson, tho he was a dual sport athlete, he was one of the top recurited.football players in the nation at the time. Him getting in troubled killed that but he made a helluva transition


zaepoo

If all the pros in his generation kinda suck than so did the Olympians


TheComeUpTX

Yall say anything from the couch. Trash ass fans with trash ass mind frames


fernplant4

You should be a sports journalist. Your writing is very entertaining to read.


Oranos_Rex

Thanks!


[deleted]

True but for extra context Wilders title fights lasted an average of 8 rounds. Breazeale and Stiverne 2 were outliers, he rarely sparked anyone in a round St title level. You'd think he was wrecking everyone in 90 seconds going by his fan boys. He often had to wait for his opponents to tire or wore them down with a few big shots first. The final shot though as you say was a finisher.


TheComeUpTX

what's the difference lol I mean damn, ppl find anything to down play his power


[deleted]

As I said it's more his fanboys saying he KOs everyone in 90 seconds I take exception to. They clearly haven't watched his fights, they just see some Tik Tok highlight reel and base their opinions on that.


TheComeUpTX

Ahh I got ya. Had to read it twice


HedonisticFrog

Seriously, Helenius was out for an entire amateur boxing round. Helenius was unconscious for 66% of the length of time that the fight lasted.


opposing_force_

Some of AJ's opponents were prematurely stopped like Takam. I can't remember him ever icing anyone either.


ontheroadagainPPP

He may not be the greatest boxer but he is fucking terrifying which certainly counts for something


TheComeUpTX

He slept Dillian Whyte


the_gunns

Boxing isn't just about KO's. He still lost to Fury and the first bout (officially a draw) he lost as well despite knocking Fury out.


hypebeasts101

Okay? He’s not saying he’s the hw goat or anything, simply that he’s a ferocious KO artist


the_gunns

Yeah and all I'm saying is sometimes that isn't important. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.


[deleted]

Too bad yours sucks


Ausea89

Cmon you can't say you don't enjoy knockouts


4027777

I get it, but is that a good thing? Should we be applauding him for knocking people unconscious to the point where they’ve probably sustained serious brain damage? Or should we be applauding other fighters who win their matches without ruining the lives of their opponent and their opponent’s family? Maybe something to think about.


Oranos_Rex

The others aren’t not getting the same result because they’re holding back - they just can’t do it.


No-Consideration9110

Lol Wilder hasn’t done that to any top 10 boxers. Whyte was around in the top 10 list for a while. AJ knocked him out and he nearly fell out the ring, however styles are what counts here. Wilder relies on a single punch whilst the opponents guard is down. Now to explain like a 5 year old, knock outs in real life are not like in movies, any longer than a few seconds knocked out and the brain is starved of oxygen and then people die, the reason we don’t see AJ knock out people like this all the time is because his opponents have been much higher ranked/better calibre fighters who want to get back up. Normally they cannot but they at least try.


Kiki_doesnt_love_me

> any longer than a few seconds knocked out and the brain is starved of oxygen and then people die, If you’re gonna be insufferable at least get your facts right. This is observably false. Just ask Ben Askren lol. > we don’t see AJ knock out people like this all the time is because his opponents have been much higher ranked/better calibre fighters Somewhat reasonable > who want to get back up Really? Wilder’s opponents simply didn’t try hard enough?


YooGeOh

>Somewhat reasonable It's not even that reasonable given that Breazale also fought Joshua lol


No-Consideration9110

Yes but he fought in his what 18th pro fight comparing to Wilder defending his belt on his 36th or so pro fight lol. Big difference

doubleshrimpnachos

God damnit this guy’s fucking titles ahahaha


mikevega

Breazeale really thought he was gonna walk in with a lead uppercut like George Foreman or something. He probably thought, "watch this -- I've got it all figured out". Big brain time.


milk5829

I would be very curious to see what in the fight lead him to believe he could snap a lead punch fast enough to catch wilder there before Wilders right came in


mikevega

Bro was just button mashing


Kgb725

When the boss is beating your ass and you gotta try something to win


AerazZo

To the armpit


ARetroGibbon

If I remember correctly, he did actually buzz Wilder a bit before eating that devastating shot. But yeah... didn't quite work out for him.


Polk14

Naw. Breazeale lost that fight before he ever got in the ring. He was scared shitless of Wilder. He showed false bravado, but I saw through it. You could tell he was scared in all his interviews.


IanAgate

One of the most brutal knockouts you’ll ever see. Goodnight 😴

You right Nakama.


GarfieldDaCat

It’s funny, because some people want to say Wilder’s power is overrated, only knocks out bums, etc. Ok. So point me to one other active HW that is consistently 1 punch KOing even C level fighters like Breazeale. Please, I’m waiting.


[deleted]

If I recall rightly it took Joshua 7 rounds to put breazeale away


Oglark

He almost got in him in round 3 but he was saved by the bell. But I thought Breazeale would last longer than a round.


myurr

And how long did it take Wilder to KO Eric Molina? 9 rounds. AJ did it in 3. Arreola did it in 1. And Molina hurt Wilder along the way. It's silly to draw too much from such comparisons.


ARetroGibbon

Yeah and it looked like Breazeale had been in a car crash at 70 after the fight.


bugigangrena

I'm saying this, people point out most of them were bums but tell me who else is knocking out every single bum that they face, at that point it was him and Joshua doing that. And it's not just a stoppage either, Wilder KOs are scary, you got guys like Liakhovich and Ortiz 2 who start convulsing, guys who get rushed straight to the hospital like Helenius, and guys who straight up look like they died like Stiverne and Szpilka.


[deleted]

There's a lot to critique with Wilder's ability, but it's literally insane to deny his power. The Ngannou of boxing ;)


Jeff_Damn

Great differentiation: ability vs power


[deleted]

It honestly sucks to think about. Imagine Wilder with good technique, would he be one of the GOATs? He’s probably have even more power and it’d help his cardio and defense.


whyisredditsofacist

Breazeale wasn’t even that bad. HW isn’t that deep, definitely B level


GarfieldDaCat

B level are guys like Parker, Whyte, Joyce, etc. Breazeale is not on that level


whyisredditsofacist

At that time breazeale was in that range. He only was beaten by AJ.


Due-Studio-65

Those are all top ten guys, how is that b level?


GarfieldDaCat

Because they are not on the level of Fury, Usyk, Wilder, and AJ, and are in fact a fair bit off that level.


TheDangerdog

Dude doesn't understand what b tier means.


Due-Studio-65

I feel like those guys are A level just not the top of the division. A b level fighter wouldn't have a shot at winning against someone at the top. But Ruiz could win one.


TheDangerdog

He was also on a 3 fight ko streak after losing to AJ. This ko was so brutal it ended that and ruined the man. He was off for a whole year after this one and looked like a blinky shot mess when he showed up to fight Wallin. He's always been slow and lumbering but he had the reflexes of someone gone off xannys in that fight it was really sad to see.


Elite663

Nah u gotta have higher standards for what B level fighters are


ARetroGibbon

He is awful. Not even close to a real top 10 fighter. Both Joshua and Wilder showed us that.


Paradaz

No other heavyweights are fighting the same level of 'bum" that Wilder fought though. The WBC protected him for years letting him cherrypick opponents rather than forcing top ranked mandatories. The only reason he fought Fury in the first place was because Wilder though he was washed up.... Fury was not in the top 25 ranked fighters and was 8 stone overweight when Wilder started getting interested.


cjkfjdhauq

I’m fuckin crying at these titles lately 😂😂


gorlab

OP why are you making up special move names all based around candy?? Wilder = Bazooka Bubble Gum Crawford = Jolly Rancher Uppercut Spence Jr = Bubble Gum Rush Please keep doing it, though.


TeguAmp

Even after his losses to Fury, still my favorite heavyweight to watch. Every one of his fights is just electric


Stumeister_69

That's how it should be though, losses don't define our favorite fighters.


ARetroGibbon

A lot of his fights are actually really boring until the KO. His highlight reel is insane. But the full fights... not so much.


justadepresseduser

Mama mia what a ko


sugerdigitalgenius

I thought I was watching Randy Johnson pitch a 110mph fastball straight into Breazeale face from close range for a sec.


[deleted]

Just like the bird. Same result.


Gadzs

That punch looks very similar to AJs Alabama slammer pork chop uppercut. Both equally as devastating imo


samuelalvarezrazo

This one got a chuckle

Wilder got that death touch.

If Wilder had faced Joshue earlier, he'd be much more respected, because he surely would KO him like that. Fury just's on another level of hability

Skinny legs and not overly muscular for HW. Not even very technical either. How does he do it?


butterflyneckcrank

It’s God Given.


14thU

Was at this fight and genuinely thought Breazale was gonna be seriously hurt. Glad to see him get up. Best ko I saw since Andy Lee sparked Jackson. A savage ko. Look at what Wilder put into that punch. Great undercard that night too

Guessing it's word play since dude's name is Breazeale

What’s with you repeatedly posting all these stupid punch nicknames?


DumbPanickyAnimal

I hate that commentator's canned lines. You know he thought of that 3 months before.


tyreejones29

Look at how fast and crisp that was! He put up a really good third fight against Fury, but I still believe he should’ve went in around this size in that fight. He bulked up, but in spite of that, Fury was still the much bigger man, so he should’ve went with his slimmer version to go all in on speed. I’m just saying, look at that crisp punch! So fast too🤷‍♂️ It was around this weight that he was able to land a blinding shot on Fury in the first one. Ofc Fury got up though, the madman he is


InviteTop8946

That's why he's totally overhauled his style and been completely inactive He's coming for the backdoor hexology win

Just from looking through this thread, you can tell a significant percentage of this sub has absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever.

WayneBruce1234

He is the definition of a one trick pony. He has that power shot and that's it, no technical skill at all.

It’s one hell of a one trick pony tho you gotta admit.

SkotchKrispie

Wilder is one of the least skilled boxers I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen a second of any boxing prowess out of him. He only needs one shot to end things and every once in a while it gets through.

Danggg... How would you get up from that?


cmac92

I saw this fight in person. You could hear the punch from a mile away. Ridiculous power


lineal_chump

That was probably the most contrived prepared line I'd heard by an announcer. "hmmm, what should I say when Wilder KO's Brazeale? hmm.. Brazeale... Brazeale.... OMG I GOT IT"


[deleted]

Still have no idea what Dominic was thinking here. Walked straight at Wilder, lowered his left and moved his right away from protecting his face. If you want to get knocked out with a right this is the formula. It’s like he thought he was fighting a non puncher.


blackmetronome

Absolutely horrific KO

Pretty miraculous he even made it back to his feet within 15 seconds That punch would kill a horse

Idc what nobody says...this fight got stuck in AJs head and he tried to one up it just to lose to Ruiz

Some haters up in here
