Makabu ofc is dangerous puncher but he will be more comfortable for Okolie than Briedis if he will decide to maul and hug Makabu not Briedis. Ofc also Makabu, like Briedis if they will fight vs Okolie will " fight " with Commentators, referee and judges too. Only way win Okolie for them is to KO Okolie. On cards they will not win this one for a good reason we all know.
Prat. The pole had fought just 3 professional rounds since November 18. 3 rounds in which he was smashed.. Okolie fought a boxing corpse. Breidis' career defecates all over the gangling octopus'..
I am sorry that I am late to this. No, he isn't. It is simply astonishing that people that will exalt a cowardly can-crusher like Wilder will try to tear down a guy like Briedis, who fights anybody and beats most of then. He cannot, DEFINITIONALLY, be overrated, because he has the RECORD. Glowacki Charr Perez Huck Dorticos Durodola Gevor (yeah, I know) Put all the asterixes you want, and it is still just a plain old good record.
yeah, he is old. Prime Briedis had KOed guy who had won vs Alex Pereira in Brasil. In " ***** maybe ammies ". The difference that Alex big name is and always will remain. With Briedis this guy had lasted not full 2 rounds. This guy's last opponent had lasted vs him only 1 minute 48 seconds in Glory KB. Not a world beater but lad is fighter with 0 cherry picks in career. Still props that he fought vs prime Briedis version.
How can anyone say "Briedis is overrated", the man has a wonderful resume and has only 1 loss (middle decision) and that is against Usyk.
Relatively interesting was his fight vs Durodola. Durodola then was from one point high risk / low reward fighter. Before fight vs Briedis he had 22-2-0 ( 20 KOs ) fight record and had been considered as dangerous cos in his last fight he had finished in 2 nd round up coming, hard hitting russian prospect with 18-0-0 ( 18 KOs ) fight record and was avoided fighter like Briedis. Briedis had finished him and Durodola had tested his chin considerably more than Usyk, then he looks that wasn't old and due to short his last fight not tired and with long period before fight vs Briedis. This was fight where Briedis definitely wasn't boring to watch.
