    Usyk wins by UD against Briedis. I don't see stoppage, because Briedis is in very good shape and can take punch. Usyk is volume puncher and better skilled, but lacks of big punch.

    Usyk by UD. Thoughts?

    Not sure about how well a punch Briedis can take, he seemed bothered by a few of Durodola's punches, but since he spoils so well, most never land clean on him enough to do any real damage, but with Usyk's accuracy, he'll land cleaner and far more than most, so his chin is gonna get checked, and if it might prove more fragile than we may think.

    Mairis ' No Mas' Briedis will retire in his corner.

    I don't think Usyk will as active as he was against Huck, Briedis has pretty good power and a sneaky uppercut and i think Usyk will box from the outside against Briedis.

    It's easy to say that Usyk beats Briedis easily.. but u never know, hate to sound cliche, but Styles make fights.. Maybe Briedis will do something that will make Usyk uncomfortable.

    There's nothing to fear from Usyk the Pillowfist. Briedis might lose some rounds first but at some point that Latvian power will find its mark. It will be a lot like Briedis-Charr.

    Usyk's movement and tighter defence will be the difference, he should win a comfortable decision.

    I have seen Usyk catch an uppercut or two on the chin. If that happens against M.B. big upset but still an upset nonetheless.

    Yeah, a UD is how I have it too. Think Usyk will just be that little bit better at everything and nick the majority of the rounds.

    That seems right. Will be interesting to see if a guy who trains with Loma will know how to avoid all the clinching by Mairis “The Octopus” Briedis.

    Everyone saw how Briedis struggled with the southpaw style of Perez.
