Comments Thread For: Usyk vs. Briedis - LIVE BoxingScene Scorecard

Still remain totally unconvinced about Usyk. A lot of his aggression is ineffective and he often throws blind flurries with his head down.

I thought he won kinda clear but I agree he is deff a good fighter but I don't see greatness coming out of him.And i don't see him improving too much

Usyk clearly won

it was hard to give rounds to Briedis after first 4

also there was some dirty stuff from Briedis but Usyk went through it like a boss

great fight

What do you make of Usyk? Unconvinced like I am? I could even see Bellew doing something against him.

Bellew no chance, Usyk would plow his head into mush. Bellew moves to heavy to avoid all these guys and go after the big money, Hearn has worked his career perfectly.

Usyk I think he needs to box rather than go toe to toe and put on a show, maybe he can’t and has to fight that way. With the right trainer he could be something absurd, whoever trains him and has him fighting that way although exciting and fan friendly which I guess is what it’s all about he’ll never reach his full potential.

Damn, Usyk isn't gonna dominate EVERY single fight.

The CW division is by far the deepest division in boxing. Breidis is a world class fighter, and has a very tough style to look good against.

Usyk did what he had to do to win the fight.

And he has plenty of power to transfer to HW. He doesn't have that one shot'n'drop power like Wilder, nor that clubbing combination power like Joshua, but his precision,and awkward angles, give him plenty of a good enough punch to compete at the top-level at HW.

He is a HUGE CW, and he will come in at a solid 223-ish at HW.
