Says it's free on the ITV box office

Real shame that this is not only normal ITV.
Bollocks if this is the new face of boxing, less people watch it but those that do pay. Wank business model.
Actually it only says it's free through the Sky platform. I get it free anyway 😁
We need more fighters like these guys in the game. None of this A side, B side crap. They just want to prove who is the best! I'm disappointed the US networks didn't pick this tournament up. Hopefully someone will see common sense and snatch up the final.
It's also interesting to me that for a fight between 2 very good fighters, both undefeated beltholders, that Usyk is such a heavy favorite. Breidis is an excellent fighter, it just shows how highly we think of Usyk.
I think Usyk wins but it will be a highly competitive bout. Closer than many are thinking it'll turn out.
Breidis is pretty handy, kod the f weird made up wba title holder Manuel chart not long ago, I think usyk us just quicker and stronger though and will give a dominating performance but it's going g to be a good win which people may write off as being v some Baltic nobody(even tough breidis really isn't a nobody).
Breidis can't/won't fight on the inside which leads to a lot of messy holding and with Usyk's height/range/jab/levers I can't see how Breidis wins.
Excellent clash between elite's of the division but might not be a great spectacle.
Yea exposure, 95% of all fights you are able to view.
Usyk who is most peoples pick to win the tournament has a long hard fight infornt of him. The Latvian is awkward and dangerous at the same time so I don’t see Alexander taking too many chnaces to try and get him out of there. He will more likely display the boxing skills used to conquer Marco Huck last time when he broke the challenger down round by round & looking the best hes ever looked. Breidis is a different proposition. He isn’t on the slide, he hits with power and has a good boxing brain to go with it. Likewise Breidis destroyed current heavyweight world champ Manuel Charr and outboxed Mike Perez last time but this for him is another step up and the biggest challenge of his career. He will find it difficult to sit back and time Usyk & if he goes looking for a KO it plays into Usyks hands so it’s a very tall order and one I don’t think he will succeed in. Usyk has a tough opponent infornt of him but I think he will come through this test with flying colours controlling the majority of rounds, winning convincingly on the cards. 118-110.

This is cool and the quality is excellent. Why did you not tell me earlier? :)
Will they show the Groves v Eubank fight on this?
They are going to be entering the ring in a bit. A lot of fanfare. Wlad is there.
Germany playing bad 1980's rock n roll no wonder they loved David Hasselhoff
Briedis landed better punches in the first and think he won the first. Very close fight but the bias of the crowd means he won it.
This is an action packed round, think Usyk landed the more effective punches.
Good fight from both 1-1
Great action both fighters going for it. :cool:
Yea good fight so far. Maybe 1 a piece.
Usyk hurt with a clash of heads and got a bit messy. Think Briedis just nicked the 3rd round with good right hands against the southpaw.
Briedis landed better shots in the 4th against Usyk and won it more clearly. 3-1
F-ck this is a close fight.
Usyk dominates the 5th by picking up the pace and pushing Briedis back. He bloodied his nose.
3-2
Usyk is the better skilled fighter but fell down in the 6th and Briedis took over. 4-2
Usyk taking over, pace maybe catching up to Briedis.
Usyk wins 7th, he is the more skilled fighter and could take over now. 4-3 to Briedis.
This WBSS is proving a big success and being broadcast in over 150 country's globally which has netted Kalle Sauerkraut Millions.
2 undefeated World champions going toe to toe and Eubank v Groves still to come in 3 weeks time 😎
I've got Briedis a few up and starting to pull away.
Usyk has faster hands and landed more effective shots.
Briedis landed sneaky uppercut and right hand bit not enough. 4-4
I've got Usyk ahead
Cracking fight
Briedis won the 9th with some effective uppercut and right hands. Hard fight to score but a good fight to watch. Home fight may inspire Briedis
Usyk is doing the pressing but it's Briedis landing better punches for me.
Close fight now
What happens with a draw?
There's a 4th judge if it's a draw then a count back system if that fails
