Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Briedis on January 27 in Arena Riga, Latvia

[Shrap]

Usyk is gonna embarrass Briedis in front of his whole country.

[Pigeons]

Anyone have an issue with Breidis fighting at home in the first two rounds?

[jas]

Scorecards have been fair in wbss

Briedis perez cards were actually closer than it was

This has usyk ud written all over it

He might even stop him tbh. Usyk doesnt look like hes messing around in this competition. he could of easily cruised to a UD against huck...

he could have easily koed huck earlier imo

usyk ud was gonna be 1 of my bankers at jus under evens but the Great mlac has spoken i may stay clear

brieidis can move and also grab, and also has better stamina than a shot huck. usyk doesnt take many risks- these all point to a ud

I will probably follow you on usyk UD, but im just not sure about breidis and his chin, i have seen him only take a flush punch from duaroadola (sp) and i cant remember how he took it as it was ages ago. Usyk is not a huge puncher, but a TKO is definitely a possibility

Grabbing hold of perez is one thing, grabbing hold and trying to work inside of usyk is a totally different matter.

I remember Glowacki was not able to clinch usyk ONE time the entire fight....

glowacki dont try and clinch, briedis has faster feet than glowacki

huck was resorting to tactics of staying on outside out of range then jumpin in with one shot so usyk was able to counter him, briedis doesnt really do that

im sticking to betting on edges of 25% or more so if they have usyk briedis as 55% possibility and i honestly think its 80% likelihood ...ima end up bettin on it.

bet small on cotto ko without any research really but lesson learnt there was dont bet on an aging fighter. the weight must have been him not being able to maintain as much muscle which is the classic sign of aging that occured with bhop. and i thought there wasnt huge edge on cotto ko

I dont think research would of helped you there mate, no one knew Cotto would be shot, considering he put on a boxing masterclass agaisnt Kamegai only a short while ago...

You seen anything this weekend?

going to go huge on this:

Lomachenko
Vargas

0.70

maybe the overs in the yarde fight and the under in the dubois fight. thoughts?

holding off until usyk ud, skoglund for whenever he fights fielding, canelo over ggg if odds stay similar, brook for whenever he fights khan. may change mind on any of them- i think one mistake people make if once they have they have their mind decided on who they think will win they start to only see things that validate their opinion.

gonna just do inplay for all the other fights

jus watched few seconds of darch joshua for ya and looks like darch has no power to wrroy dubois- under looks good,

yarde one has too many unknown variables, i did hear from good source that yarde got dropped by joe fournier in sparring though so he may fight to protect that chin as he steps up levels, he does great speed and power and shot selection though mate.

vargas should beat smith but dude has terrible scar tissue and been inactive and coming off a tough fight vs berchelt...but that fight was competitive at times and berchelt is a quality operator...he should beat smith easily tbh
surprised bookies give smith 25% chance

loma rigo staying away from. i think thats not a good bet at 1/4. i can see a scenario where rigo wins early round by moving and potshotting and then hes in his rhythm and loma is playin catch up and then makes mistakes that rigo capitalizes on

Why are people sleeping on the cruiser-weight tournament?
