    Ok Usyk won.. but I would like to see round 13, Usyk was death tired at the end and Briedis started to adapt to his style.
    Anyway.. good fight.

    Both guys should be proud of themselves - tremendous display. Good decision.

    Although the crowd will be thinking who the **** is that lanky bloke interviewing the fighters ?

    Great fight! Both of them forced each other to dig deep and dig deep is exactly what they did. Usyk was the rightful winner but Briedis pushed him all the way and fought a hell of a fight. Usyk is, as I and others have said before, not just extremely mentally tough but he's also very physically tough too. Briedis caught him with some huge shots and he ate them all up no problems. He had to weather the storm for the first 4 or 5 rounds and he took a lot of heavy body shots that must've taken something out of him. Briedis is better than he showed in his previous fight where his holding actually worked against him IMO, and he proved that resoundingly tonight.

    The only thing that ruined the fight was the stupid ******* WBSS stream kept freezing all the time :fusmile

    If you had Ward over Kovalev in I and Jacobs over GGG you're not allowed to say anything about bad cards here, and you should have Breidis winning. Posters that follow boxing know what I mean.
    Excellent fight.

    what a fight that was, I just ****ing love the WBSS, had it 115-113 Usyk but personally could have had it 116-112. generally speaking though, I can see peoples argument for a draw or brides win

    Well, he already one-shotted the current WBA champ, so a belt north of cruiser is certainly within his grasp.
