Briedas v Huck.prediction

I'll post this again from KiwiMan's thread.

I've been going back and forth on this one big time, I as usual ignore all the noise and chatter about this or that fighter being shot, Huck lost a highly competitive match he was clearly leading on all of the cards in when he was stopped against Glowacki, he struggled for the first few rounds with him because he's a southpaw, Huck has always struggled against southpaws, and then he got caught by a desperate Glowacki who was swinging for the fences, it happens. Huck isn't shot, he just basically dominated Kucher who's a solid fighter with a pretty good punch, who has Briedis beaten that's on the level of Kucher? Durodola? So what, Durodola isn't a great or even a good boxer, its just that he has a decent chin, and Kudryashov thought he was Mayweather for some odd reason.

Briedis is great, I've been high on him for years, I think he's awesome, he does everything well against good but stylistically average fighters who bring nothing challenging to the table, and yes his power is impressive, so he always has a chance at winning by KO, but he's never fought anyone with the skillset of Huck, who is an incredibly underrated fighter. Here's the catch, Briedis has a set rhythm, in fact he's fairly orthodox, Huck is the epitome of arrhythmic, Huck is actually a rhythm breaker, most look at him as a caveman, which he is at first glance, but pay closer attention because he has a calculated method to his madness, Huck fights when he wants to fight, sets the pace he wants to set, ambushes when he wants to ambush, and then proceeds to smother and foul everything his opponent does, he's actually a brilliant fighter who gets far too little credit.

So while Briedis may very well get lucky and land that Glowacki like brutal KO punch, if he doesn't I see him struggling here, mightily, and being drug into a war and thoroughly mugged by Captain Caveman, and possibly KO'd late.
