Oleksandr Usyk vs Mairis Briedis - 27/1/18

I just got around to watching the fight. Honestly, I’m shocked that people thought the fight was as close as it was. I thought that Usyk clearly won. I gave Briedis three rounds. Maybe I another round or two could go to him but Usyk seemed in complete control by the second half of the fight.

It looked like a normal Usyk fight to me. Briedis is just a bit better and tougher than his previous opponents. I was even looking for rounds to score for Briedis but I couldn’t give him many. The fight showed me that Usyk is the real deal as I already thought and that Briedis is a solid fighter.

Saw it like you. Briedis was constantly retreating, Usyk dictated the fight. You can retreat if you are setting traps and out landing your opponent but it wasn't that. Usyk was fighting his fight while Briedis was doing what he could. Usyk clear

I scored it how I saw it on the day with the rbr but have to admit if the fight was on neutral territory Briedis would have lost more convincingly on the cards.

Usyk is a very good fighter.

I was surprised some guys had Briedis winning or even a draw, there were some close rounds tho. The right guy won.
