12 rounds, heavyweight, who wins? I am going with Breidis. I think he is the bigger puncher and has a great chin. I think Spinks's angles and awkward style will make it competitive but i am betting on the harder hitting Latvian to pull off a decision win.
Prime Briedis was a force. Just an excellent all around fighter with underrated power. Going with him here by UD or late stoppage. Spinks would have his moments but not enough.
Look...we never really saw the best of what Briedis could do due to injuries and difficulties getting fights. I think he would have been a handful for almost anyone. That notwithstanding, Spinks is a far more proven guy, and I think you go with him out if respect, here.
Spinks by close decision. Spinks beat a lot of good fighters, we should have seen more from both Spinks and Briedis TBH.
Briedis is overrated on this forum yes he gave Usyk a tough fight granted but hes also had poor performance against the likes of Mikaelian where he got a gift decision that alot felt he lost. Don't get me wrong Briedis is good he has a solid chin and good fundamentals but I don't see him as anything special and I think he's been over estimated in recent years. I think Spinks matches up well with Briedis and would befuddle him with his movement/awkward style and win a decision. 1 fighter is known for winning his biggest fights the other is known for losing his biggest fights just let that sink in for a moment.
Spinks is one of the hardest punchers in the entire history of boxing and could level you with one punch. And Spinks was so awkward. I think Spins stops him.
Breidis went the distance with Usyk and Opetaia. Both those guys are naturally bigger than Spinks and likely hit harder. Not in a P4P sense but they probably do. Breidis sparred with Wlad and was repeatedly never hurt. The guy had an iron chin.
