The Usyk vs Briedis prediction thread.

Breidis UD. Too strong, too fast too Latvian.

 

Briedis

 

Usyk wide UD I think.

I do underrate Breidis a lot, or have thought I did in the past. I just can't for the life of me see the method to his madness. He's got pretty serious tools to work with but doesn't come close to exploiting them. He's a much smarter fighter than I've given him credit for in the past and he does set traps well, he just frustrates the hell out of me.
You look at the KO%, see some highlights of his and can see the speed, power, and explosiveness, then actually watch the full fights expecting so much and it's just.....WTF?

 

Usyk in 10.

Big fan of both but Briedis struggled with Perez and his southpaw stance.

Usyk is much better than Perez and I think he'll take over by round 6.

 

I agree

 

Usyk completely schools him. And i really like Briedis.

 

Breidis will be exposed when he faces Usyk and finds himself unable to clench to a UD.

 

They are both good, but Usyk is an unusual talent..................should win by UD or perhaps a TKO.................like both of them, so it is a lose -lose situation for me...................

 

Usyk UD.

 

Usyk clear UD, knockdown(s) and/or a late stoppage very possible.
Breidis is pretty good, one of the best in a strong division, but he will face a better opponent with a style that doesn't suit him.

 

Usyk will win a clear but competitive UD. It will be an entertaining fight with Briedis having his moments here and there but Oleksandr will dominate.

 

Usyk ud 10-2.
