119-109 but the fight was closer than the scorecards because most of rounds Usyk won by a tiny margin
every scorecard that range from 116-112 to 119-109 Usyk is acceptable to me

I got it 117-111 Usyk

Round 12 was kinda close. Rounds 2 and 3 also were close as well as Round 9.

I have it 118-113 to Usyk.

It was Perez who made Breidis' last fight so ugly

9-3 Usyk
Should be an easy UD for him although I’m not overly impressed. He may well get beaten up badly in the final. And his HW plans are totally laughable. If he ever gets in the ring with an above average HW puncher, he’ll get bullied badly.

i was scared they will give it to Briedis, but it should be definitely a UD

The decision is awful, Usyk was far more dominant.

A LOT tighter than the fight was. But the right winner. Should be UD though. That fight is very hard to score a draw.

Surprisingly close scores. Guess we can't be too shocked, this is Boxing and they were in the other guys hometown, but thankfully the right guy wins, and we advance to the Final.

right, the fight actually was as i predicted, clean and clearly for Usyk (but still Briedis surprised me positively, Usyk just got perfect stamina)

I was wrong, I admit. It was very close, but I changed my attitude - Usyk can not beat Joshua.

Usyk and Briedis are clearly better than nearly every HW.

Have to agree with the judges re: how close it was. Usyk took the later rounds but his walking forward was not effective early on and he missed a fair bit throughout the whole fight really. Very tough fight to score for me anyhow. Felt Briedis was winning the inside exchanges and had power over usyk early on. Usyk work rate is what pulled him through, he worked harder. That was evident.

I only caught the last few rounds. It looked like a most excellent and competitive fight from that. Kudos to two fine sportsmen!

it was evenish for 6 but then bredes lost too much energy.

Those who say that the fight was a CLEAR victory to Usyk are clearly either Ukrainians or fans of Usyk. I too think Usyk should have won, but it was really close. This should have been the final. Lets hope Gasiev can last at least 6 against Usyk.

Granted some of the rounds were harder to score, especially in the first half, but to say that Usyk was ineffective when coming forward in the earlier stages is very fanciful. He was landing at will with his jab, and was landing the majority of the left hands. Breidis couldn't get in range to get his shots off. Was totally trumped in range, and that was the difference for me tonight.

Usyk outworked/outconditioned Briedis winning about 8 rounds.

It was a very difficult task for judges. For me, Usyk clearly won 3 rounds, the rest is questionable. Anyway, this fight deserves to be seen tomorrow again............

this is the only forum i follow that everyone agrees that Usyk won, which is surprising, i can't imagine how Briedis actually won but seems like quite lot of people think so
