Hell yeah. I'm definitely pulling for Izu. Never really liked Breazale myself always seemed a bit soft to me although he's showing a lot of toughness tonight. Izu may gas out though, throwing so many bombs.
Yeah he's just one of those guys that will hang around contender status, hang around the top ten spot but doesn't have the skill or determination/discipline to hang with the elite or top 5 guys. He shows flashes of good skill but mixed in with a lot of laziness (defense wnd offensively). That was a great fight though, I'd like to see them do it again since their styles meshed so well together.
Damn!!!! Hurd just took that fight. The stoppage was fine with me, you don't stand in front of the ref and spit out your mouth piece after u got up at 9.
Incredible. Sounds like dope fights and Fox down here is legit showing live Mardi Gras parades like they're not happening right down the street. I'm gonna have to stay offline and download everything tomorrow.
Not a fan of the stoppage. Yeah Harrison spit out his mouth piece ala Diego Corrales vs Castillo, the ref should have done the same exact thing - take a point, not stop the entire fight.
Not impressed with Hurd though. Why does it seem like everyone in this division has the same Odell Beckham haircut and tattoos? must all have the same barber!
Yeah man Washington is up pretty big so far. Gotta say he's had an excellent resume past couple years. Wilder not so much. That experience is coming in handy for Washington.

I've been on fire with my posts today haha. Just like that it's over.
That's the thing with Deontay - his power is legit. At any given time at any given moment in the fight he can not only turn the tide he can straight up end the fight with a single punch. That's what makes up for his technical flaws and lack of experience is that legit one punch KO power that really no one else has in the heavyweight division I don't think. It is impressive power to be sure.
Indeed. What's funny is the original Wilder opponent was far worse, Andrzej Wawrzyk, but he failed his drug test so they ended up getting Washington who is much better.
Also the Cotto vs James Kirkland PPV was supposed to be today and no way did that deserve to be on PPV. So it all worked out!
Damn man, that Hurd vs. Harrison could've ended up much better than that!!! Only the third time I've ever seen Hurd fight, but I'm not very impressed with this guy, and how they're pumping this guy up....
