    Let me clear two other things up real quick, the Briedis match shouldn't have been a "razor close" decision, at worst it was 116-112, it could be scored 117-111 or even as wide as 118-110. Competitive yes, but not that close.

    Also, playing it safe for 3 or 4 rounds, getting the rhythm and timing down of Bellew, who for all of his flaws, has a pretty damn high ring IQ and can be a tricky customer, then after he studied him for a little while, he unleashed hell.

    Inoue gets his chance on FOTY honors in 2019 after winning the WBSS himself.

    This year it's Usyk, hands down.

    To be fair he has a better case than Mcdonnel :risas3:. He would be in the WBSS if there was to be one at 135. In fact that wouldn't be a bad weight to do one at.

    Inoue has had an amazing 2018 as well. 2 KOs in 2 rounds against world class opponents.

    How's this not amazing and competitive in its own right?
