Cruiserweight is a joke now Usyk and Gassiev have gone. When are one of them going to step up go after another belt? Is it like 4 belts 4 champs now? Ridiculous.
**** fight, but Breidis just needs to get into the ring at this stage. This is nothing more than a hometown showcase for him. Hopefully his next fight is quality.
Yeah, matchup is awful. Briedis is old, last fight was year ago. It is nothing for 26 years old lad if compare with guy who soon will be 37. Briedis also had ring rust before Dorticos fight approx 15 months. Looks that after Dorticos fight he had some attempts to get Makabu fight, ofc he isn't enough cheap and wasn't enough old I think then. Then had attempted to move in HW and this Eddie with his Okolie had appeared. I suspect cos Eddie clauses and maybe damn too low $ ( Eddie) it did not had happened until IBF had ordered Cieslak. There mesh with him and looks that IBF might had offered Opetaia ( ranked #3 exactly below Cieslak ). Maybe lad too young or something like this or too short term for lad till fight ( I understand guy it might be too unfair ). From where they had get this next opponent, I dunno. If Briedis have intent to move in HW, maybe better was to book for him Pulev, Chisora like boxers to fight with. I think Briedis already should had some warm up fight under belt. 12 months without fight for boxer who will soon be 37 doesn't looks good at all.
