    The cards were bang on.

    It was a really easy fight to score.

    Briedis is still a handful for anyone at cruiser, I'd love to see him vs the CBS/Riakporhe winner.

    Only 70 landed punches?

    That stat sounds wrong.

    I wonder whether he was intending to weather the early rounds and try to turn it on the second half of the fight after Jai had spent a decent chunk of his gas tank.

    And let's face it, Breidis chin is up to surviving like that.

    Just didn't turn around as quickly as he'd have liked and couldn't finish the job... Younger Breidis would've won this at a canter.

    Remember when Briedis went to heavyweight and flattened a few for fun?

    Opetaia was just too accurate. Briedis took the shots better, but Briedis didn’t land clean enough. Briedis could probably beat up a lot of heavyweights, I don’t care to see a trilogy.

    Both will live happily ever after. Briedis in retirement and Opetaia knowing he won't face another Briedis as he cleans out the division again and again.
