Thread: Marco Huck-Mairis Briedis - WBC Cruiser Title/BoxNation/Sat.

The only notable fight of the weekend should be a cracker.

Briedis (21-0, 18 KOs) - a Latvian that's not a pot belly hod carrier - is a proper sparko merchant. The only geezer to take him 12 rounds is Ismail Abdoul, who is awkward/granite (back in the day Haye, Enzo Mac, Adamek among many others couldn't put a dent in him) - he's sent good heavyweights to kip. He boxes in a neat and tidy orthodox style behind a good, consistent jab.

Huck (40-3-1, 27 KOs) is only 32 - same age as Briedis - but been around at the top level since the boer war. He's never in a dull fight, is hard-as-nails with the crudest spurt-stop-spurt-breathe style ever, which is highly effective for him.

This can't fail to be a good punch-up. Up-and-downer? Spectacular KO? 12 rounds of action? It's all good.

The fresher Briedis (4/7) is a narrow-ish favourite. 13/10 KO, 3/1 PTS. Huck is 13/8 for the win, 6/1 KO, 3/1 PTS. 25/1 Draw. Fight to not go distance - Evens.
