Manuel Charr vs. Mairis Briedis & Badr Hari vs. Ismael Londt RBR

Round 4

Briedis is kicking his back heel off the mat whenever it touches, putting an extra moon-walking bounce in his step as he floats around Charr, performing crochet with the quick light jab. Charr is just mowing the lawn, advancing behind a turtle shell, absorbing most of Briedis' combos but allowing every other jab to penetrate down the middle, and touched enough on the body as well to ensure a large point-scoring edge for Briedis, given the utter lack of credible offense from Charr. An occasional chopping right hand behind a lunging jab, at best grazing the chin of Briedis as he falls back against the ropes and ricochets in to hold.

10-9 Briedis

40-36 Briedis

 

Briedis has never really fought a puncher (outside maybe shot to bits Danny Williams...his best victories otherwise being over Lubos Suda and Ismail Abdoul, neither very heavy-handed, the former a try-hard grinder in the Firat Arslan mold but a level below, ever in the Euro title fringe contention hunt, and the latter a cutie-pie journeyman) but I doubt Charr stops him.
