Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Tyson Luke Fury & Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis II - RBR.

2nd

 

Briedis was dirty rabbit puncher

 

No, he just looked like a man who hadn't been fighting for two years, and needed a few rounds to get back in the groove.

 

While true about the atmosphere, I hate seeing retired athletes with their health gone and in financial trouble. These big fights in Saudi help address the financial concern there. Notice how they all give some sort of ass-kiss in when in front of the mic?

 

Briedis isn’t completely shot, he’d still **** up dudes like Okolie or Billiam Bum Smith.

 

He doesn’t have the facial structure to take punches without getting marked up.

 

I think you are exactly right. My point is that if he unleashes a few hard combos early and gets the attention of Jai, then perhaps he changes up Jai's approach/mentality and doesn't get swept on the early rounds. He doesn't have to sustain the attack, but do enough to get through then slow back down.

There is a reason why I am on the couch and not in the ring though lol.

 

I can't believe this is actually happening

 

Both men get food poisoning and start violently vomiting and shitting around the ring. The fight is called a TD and the resulting riots overturn several democracies and make BLM look like a children's birthday party.

 

That's one bad head...

 

Mannix trying to have an in depth 2 hour interview with Opetaia after the fight was weird too.

 

To me it looked like he knew he didn't have the handspeed and reflexes to match Opeteia early so he was looking to make him overextend & counter. It was obviously too little too late but he definitely came to win.

 

No he was not. Jai planted his head deep into Breidis shoulder when he was throwing.

 

I thought they were fine, no idea what his the complaint was. I could give Briedis at least 3 and upto 5 rounds at a push. I gave him 4. I thought all 3 cards were reasonable
