Did you think Usyk/Briedis was really that close?

[GoldenGloveLove]

I know the official scores were very close and I've seen a lot of scores that had it close, some even for Briedis. I watched it stretched out a little too much on TV from youtube app that was only 360, I think. Maybe I wasn't seeing the connects clearly enough but I had 2 rounds Briedis, 1 round even, Usyk winning 3-4 obvious rounds, the rest competitive but edged by Usyk. Was Briedis connecting more than I though, you think?

[Cheek busting]

I still haven't even seen the fight, as I heard it was ugly.

So I'm very interested to hear people's opinions too regarding the fight.

The boxing scene "open scoring" had it a draw....

From what I've heard thus far, majority of people don't seem to think it was nearly that close, with the consensus I've heard having it around 8-9 rounds/4-3 rounds.

I enjoyed the fight but I know a lot of people don't like watching Usyk's style and find it ugly. If you don't like seeing guys punch for points more than power, you may not like it. Briedis was definitely punching for power though. That's part of why I think the scores were so close. He'd land maybe the best punch of a round but maybe be controlled by Usyk's jab for two minutes of the round before that, while he tried to find the range.

Here you go brutha, goes up to 720p.

(is it against any rules to post boxing matches from Youtube?)

Thanks, it might be against for full fights as opposed to clips or highlights. I'll watch this version if I get a lot of people who think Briedis was landing more than I thought in the other version. What did you think?

It was competitive but Usyk a clear winner.

I can't quite remember what rounds I gave him (Breidis) exactly off the top of my head but something like rounds 2, 4, 9 and the 12th

116-112 Usyk

[Pigeons]

I thought it could have gone either way. It was competitive throughout.

[Just looking]

Well, I was waiting a Briedis decision and got surprised

[chaosisme]

I think I had it 9-3/8-4 for Usyk. I thought the cards were only so close because it was in Latvia.

Briedis snatched the last 2 rounds to get a draw on my card
