Where were where?

check streams bruh. search vip streams.

and now for the customary 'they have to both stand on those funny boxes'

Great to see massive home crowd in Riga. Thats what world boxing needs. Not a dead Vegas atmosphere.

Perez KO early for me.

Incredible atmosphere in Riga.

Perez looks bigger and more powerful. Briedis need to move.

Tentative 1st round. The best shots that I saw get through came from Perez. So I'd give him the round.

1-0 Perez

Briedis doesnt look very comfortable against a southpaw to me.

Another tentative round the best shots that I saw land came from Breidis.

1-1 even

A measured, close fight like this if it stays this way would probably go to Breidis on the cards even if Perez might deserve it. These rounds are too close when you're in the other guys home country you can't leave 'em like this.

That was accidental ffs.

Thats what was going through my head to be honest!

BAD CUT around Breidis' eye. That could cause this fight to be stopped.

This fight is a scrappy and ugly affair.

mandatory wbc rule to deduct point from non cut boxer. doesnt matter if accidental

Perez got the better of the 3rd, but lost a point due to an accidental headbutt which opened a bad cut on Breidis.

28-28 even

Groucho Marx is taking a piss there. Point deduction for a head clash is ridiculous. Especially when it is Briedis who is constantly clinching.

he had to do it. wbc rule to deduct boxer who wasnt cut. read the rules.

punch hold punch hold punch hold

Another Perez round. He's giving Breidis a lot of problems.

38-37 Perez

perez doing fine. how will his stamina hold up at this weight? better than at hw? briedis usually gets stronger after slow start.

Yep. It's a John Ruiz-esque fight.

I never heard or seen that before. It doesnt even matter. If it is a rule it is a stupid rule.

39-36 for Perez.
