    Breidis is one of the most underrated fighters in recent years. And i love watching him. But this is a hard style match up for him.

    Breidis isn't tall enough to keep Liston at a distance. Liston's enormous 82 inch reach would be difficult to escape from unless you are exceptionally quick footed like Ali.

    Liston's jab should allow him to control majority of the rounds. Breidis will have success with his straight right but Liston is smart enough to shell up and take the sting out of the punches. Liston will cause damage with left hooks and body shots of his own and control the fight via his jab.

    Breidis reportedly was never hurt in sparring with Wlad so perhaps he has an iron chin and can go the distance. But i don't think he has an answer for the Liston jab.

    Liston UD 9-3.
