Breazeale is no slouch, but Wilder has unparalleled punching power. The Bronze Bomber is a generation defining KO artist that will go down in the annals of boxing history. I have Wilder scoring yet another huge knockout but I hope he doesn’t “Get me a body” as he regrettably said recently.
Method of Victory Pick: Deontay Wilder by KO, TKO or DQ (-250)
Wilder vs Breazeale Round Betting Odds
| Wilder Result | Odds | Breazeale Result | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 5 | +900 | Round 8 | +5000 |
| Wilder Round 6 | +900 | Breazeale Round 9 | +5000 |
| Round 7 | +900 | Round 10 | +6600 |
When Breazeale took that aforementioned loss to Joshua, it was via Round 7 TKO. AJ does not have the kind of borderline surreal, preternatural one punch ability that Wilder brings to the ring. It’s for this reason that I see Deontay finishing him around the midway point of the bout.
The round group betting odds for Wilder rounds 5-7 is +300, and Breazeale for rounds 7-9 is +2800. Based on the prior track records of both men, I can see finishes materializing at the aforementioned points outlined (rounds in bold in the table above). That being said, I think Deontay has a much better chance at securing the finish.
I have Wilder all day in this one. Whether Wilder rematches Fury or fights Joshua next are the only things I’m unsure of.
Round Betting Pick: Wilder, Deontay Round 6 (+900)
