The ref and the fight both ******.

yeah the fight was pretty bad

I dont want to see Briedis again, kind of a **** fight

briedis is very hard to watch. He has learned all the spoiler tools.
- Throw a punch and clinch.
- Ducking under opponents punch and then goes for a clinch
- anticipating opponents offense and putting him in a headlock.

Only needs to add some smooth headbutts and lowblow to his reportoire and he will be a complete fighter.

Referee should have deducted 2 points in the last round.

Briedis' kayo percentage is very misleading. I remember watching him against Huck for the first time and was left very uninspired and flat-out bored by the performance. And to top it off I didn't witness any power.

Briedis is tricky. Usyk doesn't have concerning power and is a notorious slow starter. Think Briedis could much it up and win a close decision

I think beating a clincher requires good footwork. Perez was only walking forward and didnt keep enough range, so that briedis was able to just tie him up.
I would think usyk would be able to stay at the end of his punches without leaning in and getting out of clinching range after he throws.

Usyk also has more cloud to get a referee who will be much stricter on clinching.

I got Usyk beating Briedis to move on to the finals.

Assuming Gassiev wins his next fight, he vs Dorticos will be the tossup fight of the CW bracket.

Diamond Boy might disagree with you about that power

[Iceman Liddell]

After 6 or 7º round it become a real snoozefest, terrible cardio by Perez and Briedis is just a dirty fighter, Usyk, Dorticos and Gassiev all stops him, can't wait to this fights.

[DuckAdonis]

He'd beat Gassiev and Dorticos, but probably not Usyk.

I think Dorticos, Gassiev and Usyk all beat him

[Motorcity Cobra]

Can't wait to see Usyk put this dude down. Usyk will win all his fights by stoppage
