Comments Thread For: Usyk Decisions Briedis in Tough Fight To Unify WBC, WBO Titles

9-3 Usyk? GTFOH. That's the worst score I've heard yet. You are obviously bias as hell for Usyk. The "Brit guy" had no dog in the fight and his assessment was much more accurate than yours. I'm a huge Usyk fan but I call the fight as it is not as I expect or hope it to be. You should try doing that sometime.

You should try watching without sound once then score again honestly.The crowd which may have been the reason the guy calling it was lost and you listening to both tainted your view.Or you just DKSAB

...If you can't see that, you either don't know boxing are you are a delusional Usyk cheerleader.

Well, it may be so.
Or, maybe it's you who's delusional and doesn't know sheet about boxing.
Or, maybe you are pissed off by your missus and feel like getting personal on a boxing forum.
Whatever it be, I forgive you, son.

It amazes me how anybody who isn't totally bias can watch that fight and say anybody got schooled. It was a close fight in which the favorite, Usyk, under performed and the underdog, Briedis, exceeded expectations.

Underdog my aiss. Kinda silly calling an uderdog a guy having walked like a train through Danny Williams, Durodola, Huck, Charr and Perez.
It was a close fight in which Usyk disarmed and dismantled a dangerous puncher known for knocking out heavyweights.
Usyk took Briedis' best shots grinning and made him look clueless, static and quite limited. He established his own game-plan, never letting Briedis exploit any of his strengths and effectively exposed his weaknesses.
Briedis tried his best but in the end he was outboxed, outpunched, frustrated, bloody-faced and helpless despite his never-ceasing desire to win.

You must have expected a total annihilation of an underdog by miracle-making favourite - then you better watch some Boyka's fights. :blow:

IMO, Lebedev should fight Briedis at first or someone from the 2nd semifinal to acquire such an honor to fight for 3 major World belts and with a winner of Muhammad Ali trophy.

I like that idea alot and it would be a superb fight.

There are some interesting prospects but none that will be ready in the next 2 years so the division is basically cleaned up. Maybe Vlasov if he beats Duro then Lebedev/Briedis and off to HW seems a logical path.

Gassiev, Briedis, Lebedev, Glowacki, Dorticos, Perez, Vlasov, Benjenaru, Makabu, Kudryashov all fighting to sort out the vacant titles in the aftermath. Yes please.

[Mr Objecitivity]

you are the guy who insisted that Ward could not possibly be competitive at cruiser, right?

No! Rather, I insisted that Ward is UNLIKELY to be very successful at cruiser weight based on him having 0 feats or 0 fights at cruiser weight.

Andre Ward has feats and accomplishments at super middleweight and light heavyweight. Thus, it makes sense to predict that he will have much more success in those weight divisions. However, this is n't the case with the cruiser weight division.

[Mr Objecitivity]

Are you using some am fight when he only had about 25 tops to prove he would lose to Usyk or Bredieis??????????smdh

I was only kidding! But I won't be at all surprised if Usyk or Breidis managed to beat Wilder. Even by knockout (in Breidis's case) considering Wilder was getting out-boxed and losing rounds to an inferior southpaw compared to Usyk in Artur Szpilka who is also a natural looking cruiser weight. And Breidis is a very powerful puncher at heavyweight and I doubt Wilder's chin improved much from his amateur days. He's been stunned badly by lesser boxers and dropped by Harold Sconiers.

If Szpilka can win rounds against Wilder, out-box him and last 10 rounds. Usyk can do even better! And if Evgeny Romanov possesses the punching power to KO Wilder in the amateurs. Then so does Briedis!

98% of people on here picked Usyk to win. Briedis was a big underdog.
