Oleksandr Usyk vs. Mairis Briedis & Yoann Kongolo vs. Andrejs Pokumeiko RBR.

Once Usyk is allowed to get into his rhythm he runs like a well-oiled machine.

 

Usyk's conditioning is incredible. Hasn't dropped the pace since round 1.

MB wins that round with the bigger punches.

Wow.

briedis landed couple nice punches near end of round but needs more then that. 6-3 usyk

 

6-3 Usyk.

 

Usyk controlled the tempo, but I think Briedis landed the better shots in 9

 

87-84 Usyk

 

9th was Bredis's best round in a while. Don't know if I'd give it to him, but he definitely was able to land some decent shots off the back foot.

 

Usyk just took the best punch of the contest from Breidis and shrugged it off and came back firing - Breidis looks resigned, he's simply being out hustled by the man with more skill and a better engine, Breidis is blowing and fading despite some great punches he's relying on a single shot KO...
