    Opetaia is going forward and fighting cautiously, but Breidis is throwing a lot less.

    Does anyone in the crowd have a pulse or is it just a bunch of corpses in the crowd?

    You can hear a pin drop its so quiet.

    breidis cant match him at fight speed. reactions too slow. hard to time a guy with faster reflexes when yours are dulled.

    Briedis looking like Father Time has scored a KO1.

    I mean to be fair this fight is following the predictable pattern. It should have been further down the card

    Also speaks multiple languages fluently. I don't get the Wlad hate, he's a very impressive person. One has to be very smart, talented and dedicated to be as successful as he is.

    Jai:1,2,3,4,5,
    Mairis:

    The fight remains tense but the interest is ebbing by the round. This is a hurtful, high-level joust with one guy dominating.

    Watching Briedis here reminds me of watching Uchiyama the Japanese GOAT last fight. He’s not as shot as Kovalev but clearly is a step or two behind his prime.
