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

[aboutfkntime]

A small cruiser weight named 'Evgeny Romanov' almost knocked Wilder out cold and unconscious until the referee saved him whilst he had head gear on and whilst he was getting hit by padded gloves.

Tell Wilder to avenge his defeat to Evgeny Romanov or he loses to Romanov again. And Mairis Breidis also defeats Wilder, along with Usyk.

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

doritos is a bum! gassiev is gonna kill him

dorticos is well schooled power puncher, that's why he called "the KO doctor"

This fight reminded me Usyk vs Huck one, with a younger harder hitting and cleaner fighting version of Huck.
In my opinion, Usyk schooled Briedis starting from round 4. Briedis obviously lacks amateur boxing career coming straight from kickboxing, and it shows.
I was surprised to see how well Usyk takes punches. Briedis is a heavy hitter, and he landed a couple of really clean ones, and Usyk ate them without a wink.
I just can't get how the first judge and a whole bunch of people here managed to see it a draw.

Schooled????

Poor performance from Usyk, barely sc****d it out. First 6 rounds he threw punches with no power, bouncing while he punched, Briedis really clapped him with a couple nasty uppercuts, but Usyk got a chin thats for sure. Problem with Usyk is that he either doesnt have power or refuses to throw power punches. no way I see him surviving at heavyweight vs any good fighter.

One thing we finally know of Usyk, he'd better not **** up with heavyweights.

[PURIST]

An Olympic gold medalist hypejob Usyk got exposed by a fighter with no boxing amateur background
Has no chance against even a mediocre heavyweight

[kidbazooka]

Im sorry but this usyk guy sucks horrible defense very overrated atleast around here.

[P4Pdunny]

Missed this, hopefully its on youtube somewhere

Great fight!

Both deserve huge props, thought the right man won, but those scorecards were exactly as close as they should have been.

Atmosphere was unreal. Hopefully Breidis can get another big fight soon. That Perez fight left a bad taste with all the clinching, but he showed a true warriors heart last night to go with his beautiful timing and power punching.

Usyk is phenomenal.

Cant wait for Dorticos vs Gassiev.

This tourney is sensational.

LMOA. What a coinsidence that those who didn't care to watch this fight live and comment here afterwards now call Usyk "exposed" and "sucks horrible". Casuals detected.
He fought against #2-3 ranked boxer of the devision with powerful right and left and though no boxing amateur career he was kickboxer. Clearly talented sportsman. Usyk did great after 3rd disasterous round.
