It will not be easy, but Usyk will defeat Briedis (and the ref/judges) in the pretty dirty match - a lot of holding, clinching and wrestling by Briedis.
i dont think Usyk lets Briedis to clinch often and effectively, Briedis is different fighter than Glowacki but i expect similar outcome of this fight, Usyk will be cautious, not like in fight vs Huck

Filip Hrgovic TKO 4 Tom Little
Good fight. Little was very cautious in rounds 1-3, then rocked Hrgovic in round 4 and tried for the KO, but ended up being stopped.

I have been waiting for this match for months, but I don't expect a fan friendly fight; I have a very strong feeling that I am right. Anyway, we will see soon.......

Ok...people can't seem to make up their minds on this.
Is it Aleksandr Usyk or Oleksandr?
Seriously I don't know
Aleksandr in Russian, Oleksandr in Ukrainian
Alright, that settles it for me then. Seeing as how he is Ukrainian I'll always refer to him as Oleksandr going forward. I always had anyway, this just makes it official.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Usyk definitely feels Ukrainian, as we can see often on his trunks, but funny thing is that i watch a footage of his training camp on Ukrainian tv, while lector talks Ukrainian, Usyk talks Russian, but it's normal, a lot (i think most) of Ukrainians from eastern Ukraine and Crimea speak Russian as their first/only language, in central part of Ukraine a lot of people also speak ''surzhyk'' a mix of Ukrainian and Russian
