    Yeah Cieślak deserves a rematch in Poland. Maybe after he chins Szpilka brutally in a tune up?

    No surprise that it’s been postponed again, unless they go ahead behind closed doors.

    Nope. Briedis wins this in a fight where he dominates the early rounds, starts to tire by the mid, allowing Dorticos to come on stronger, but manages to hang on long enough and mount enough rallies to take it on a close but clear decision.

    WBSS has always seemed cursed.

    I didn't give a crap about the NBA, NHL, and whatever else is out there canceling or suspending whatever, but this really grinds my gears

    Dorticos has no defense and has a weak chin. He’s tailormade did Briedis.

    ...but he's a glass cannon, not a glass pea shooter. :nono:

    (And in fact I wouldn't even say a glass cannon. His chin's at least wedgwood, probably a full grade or two above the average Cuban's. :sisi1)

    Granted there's a lot of tensile strength in Briedis' chin...but still, with power like Dorticos' even the best can be made to crumble if he can land the payload before his own chin sharts the bed on him when the Latvian's heavy-handed blows start to add up.
