MD Briedis.

Did breidis retire here? If so that's a pretty good career he's had had, despite the dodgy moments this tournament, I think the gevor fight was very close though would need to watch it again to Remeber if it was actually a robbery and the glowacki fight was a disgrace due to the ref... But good for breidis some good wins and only every lost a close one to usyk.

Good fight. I thought that the draw scorecard was a little off but the right guy won

Not seen this fight but from the RBR comments and 2 of the other judges scores, how did one of them come to a draw? Is that even feasible?

It was strange to have it a draw, alpha had it closer when he scored it but Dorticos looked an old man at the end of the fight. He was so slow and one paced at the end of the fight, relying too much on his big right hand.

It’s one of those things where if you gave Dorticos the benefit of the doubt on every possible round, you could probably give it a draw. Briedis definitely did better though.
