i think uysk might lose to the bobby breidis

Wow Lep. You might get kicked out of the gang for this statement. I do think Usyk is over rated by many. Casuals don’t really care for him.

 

I think usyk will school him, I think bredis’s whole game plan will be to rough up usyk but I think usyk will just toy with him.

 

I can't see Usyk losing to Breidis. I could definitely see Gassiev KO'ing him or roughing him up and dropping him multiple times en route to a decision win, but would favor Usyk 60/40. I think Usyk works Dorticos in all but the most extreme scenarios. I give Dorticos a .001% chance against Usyk.

 

Ya, I might not be giving him enough credit. He has a vicious right and is very strong. I don't think I've ever read or seen Usyk get dropped by a shot to the head in AM's or pro's -- I have seen him for sure take a knee in the AM's against Beterbiev by a body shot but don't remember if it was a legal shot or not. Beterbiev did seem to hurt him multiple times though in the two AM fights I've seen of them, so he is slightly vulnerable, but he always seemed to pull through.

Being real, I think he is head and shoulders above every other CW on the planet and think he would beat all but 1 or 2 HW. But I've seen him get roughed up in the AM's by Beterbiev and even though Usyk won both fights and even though it was back in the AM's I just can't shake the thought of how vulnerable he looked everytime Beterbiev landed a good shot so wouldn't be outright stunned or shocked if a less talented and skilled boxer but stronger and more powerful boxer beats him.

 

Usyk has some serious, real skill. I reckon that he's going to win the tourney and head on up to HW. Some people are going to look like chumps.

 

Briedis is a cunning and dangerous fighter, very explosive with great accuracy and combination punching. Very similar to Povetkin in a lot of ways, though a little less face first. Usyk though is really starting to impress me. Nothing he does looks that brilliant in isolation, but he strings everything together so well that he becomes an extremely difficult puzzle to solve. I'd put money on Usyk winning a clear decision over Briedis, with Briedis never really finding that opportunity to get off on Usyk with his blistering combos and Usyk racking up points on the outside.

 

is it really that much of an upset? i think highly of both fighters , usyk should get the win tho
