Joe Rogan Reacts to Deontay Wilder KO'ing Dominic Breazeale

I was ringside when Deontay Wilder knocked out Brazil. I was in Brooklyn for that with my brother. Bro. Dude. Bro. Dude. That guy. It's, I've been in fights, I've been knocked out, I've been at UFC fights where dudes get knocked out. I have never in my life heard someone get knocked out like that. My brother goes, oh my God. And my brother's a raw dude. He goes, oh my God. And they sat next to his family. And it ruined it for me because I saw the wife. I just went, oh my God. I didn't cheer. I wouldn't cheer anyway. But I was just like, oh my God. And this is the funniest part is my boy, shout out to Brian Daley at Showtime, just so in between rounds, probably two and three. Jim Gray's gonna come in and interview you about your Showtime special. You go, oh, that'd be cool. They tell me the day before, so you had this nice outfit. My brother's looking all fresh. Did you really think it was gonna get to round two or three? I thought it was gonna go under four. I didn't think one round, but I thought there was a chance they sent me there. They're like, Jim Gray's gonna come then. Cuckoo, she went, all right, we should probably get out of here, huh? Should probably get out of here. Dude, I'm telling you, man. He's something special. He's so special, man. He's such a good dude. You've never had him on. You had a fury on here. You had him on too. He was amazing. He's great. We had a great time. How passionate. He's a sweetheart. He was like a really nice guy. That was my problem with him going, oh, I wanna murder this guy. I wanna kill this guy. And I wanna exercise my right. I expect that from these, for lack of a better term, these animals, these guys who aren't at your level. But he's such a good person. I'm like, ah, dude, don't do that. Because they can paint you into that box. I believe that's gonna just go away. Oh, it did. It's gone now. It's gone. His performance is so spectacular. I think it goes away. But I think it's also, that was his legitimate mindset at that time. That guy, if you listen to my podcast when I interviewed him and talked about how he got into boxing because of his daughter, he's doing it on yours as well. Talk about that. That's a special person, man. I mean, he became a bronze medalist in the Olympics after a year and a half of boxing. That's insane. That's how special he is. That's insane, man. You gotta imagine, if he was in a year and a half of boxing and he's entered into the Olympics, he's gonna be having matches against guys who have 10 years experience. Easy. Hundreds of fights, man. Hundreds of fights. Amateur fights, top hundreds and hundreds. And he's got virtually no experience. And he's not the slickest guy in the world either. So he has to be able to take a shot. But he's got two giant advantages. Huge reach and ridiculous power. And I think- That's athleticism. Because, yeah, and I think because of the fact that he's not a big heavyweight, I don't think he gets as tired as they do. I agree. I think he came in the last fight, the heaviest he's ever been. He came in at 223 and went, did he really? Yeah, that's interesting, because he's usually 214, 213. Dudes. Oh, dude. Look at this. That motherfucker. He punches so hard, man. He's the scariest heavyweight knockout artist since Mike Tyson. 100%. When he was walking out- Right? Well, you agree with that? When he was walking out, I looked at my brother. I went, you know how you feel right now? You got goosebumps? I went, imagine being on Mike Tyson fighting in his prime. How that fucking crowd must have felt. Yeah. Because when he was walking out, I felt so bad for Brazil, because we're next to his family. I'm like, he's such an underdog. He's gonna get knocked out. It was just a weird feeling. I think we're gonna see that with Deontay Wilder. I think Deontay Wilder's the new Mike Tyson. 100%. I think he's the new Mike Tyson. He hits that hard. And what's interesting about him is everyone gives me shit. Like, you're such a homework, you work for Showtime. No, no, no, no. Here's the thing about that, Joe. What people don't realize is Deontay, while his fights are on Showtime, he's an independent contractor. He doesn't have a promoter. He's his team. So Dezone offered him hundreds of millions of dollars. Same as they offered Joshua and Canel. He turned it down. Damn. You know why? Because he wants to fight Joshua and he wants to fight Fury. He goes, well, if I'm with them, that's gonna limit me fighting Fury or Joshua. If I'm independent, I can fight Joshua. I can fight Wilder. If I was Joshua or Wilder, I'd be terrified right now. Why do you think they? I mean, not Wilder rather, Fury. Joshua or Fury, I'd be terrified of that mindset. It's definitely easier fights. But he's the scariest fighter of all time. In the fucking 12th round, when he cracks Tyson, Fury and drops him like that, you're like, in the 12th round, he still has this ridiculous power. And he's only getting better, but I think what happens is it's more likely, especially looking at the way promoters work, you're gonna get Joshua versus Wilder before you get Fury. Oh, I think so. I think so. I'll take any of them. But I want all three of them. I do. These fucks owe it, these fucks. It's context, remember? These fucks owe it to boxing, to the legacy of boxing to fight each other. Well, it's one of those rare moments in the heavyweight division where you have three unbelievably compelling guys. And then one of them was a former champion who, by the way, the last fight was a draw and I thought he should have won a decision. So if you look at it, I thought he should have won a decision, but I agree with the result. Me too. This is, well, it's real squirrely. Preach. Because the way Wilder heard him, dropped him, and then knocked him down and almost had him flatlined in the 12th. And if you go over the actual count, the actual 10 count, from one to 10, from the time he dropped, which is not what Tyson Fury's job is. Tyson Fury's job is to get up in the referee, he says nine, and he did that. He did that. But if you go by an actual clock. 11 or 12, isn't it? Yeah, you go by an actual clock. It's about 11 or 12 seconds. Yeah, Tyson Fury lost that 10 count. But Fury won the rounds. Yes. Fury won more rounds, hands down he outbox him. But you're right, that count was longer than 10. Yeah, he should have, if you were just going by 10 seconds, Deontay Wilder has a real argument that he should have won by knockout. Here's the thing, that's why I like the draw. Yes, perfect. That's why the draw's fantastic. Perfect. Cool, run it back. Let's get a clear winner. Yeah, run it back. And then Joshua, who's this animal out there, who's just this fucking, he's so damn good. Honestly though, what the fuck is a 10 count for if it's not 10 seconds? Why does a referee get to make the count? Human error. There should be in every fucking corner, every corner, wherever the fight is, there should be a clock. And then when someone goes down, someone else, not the referee, hits that button. And this guy is 10 seconds. Oh, you can really do, two, three, four, five, six. Cause good to go, one, two, three, four, five. But he goes one. No, he's jacked up with adrenaline. There's a huge knockout, the crowd. He might want a guy to get up. He might want to get up. He might want to help him. He might take extra time to rub the gloves on his chest. Ask him a couple of questions. Are you good to go? Are you good? And they grab it. Walk towards me. What's today's date? You can do all that shit. You can give him a little bit of a break. Do you like the human error part? Like same with baseball. No. Like the umpts, they fuck up all the time. Yeah.
