    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.

    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

    You’re having a laugh mate. He’s just beaten the second best CW twice. Opetaia and Briedis are both daylight ahead of the rest of that division.

    I have reconsidered my position that Opetaia can be a force at heavyweight. I think that’s doubtful. But he’s clearly the best CW.

    Who you got? I change my prediction every 5 mins lol. I do think Usyk fighting in Saudi is an advantage. He put on a master class against Joshua in Saudi while Fury lost to Ngannou in Saudi.

    Time for Usyk & Fury to show the world how a man loses & wins with utter grace
