Usyk round again. Starting to take over. I can smell a robbery though!

Thought Breidis nicked round 11. Good defensive work.

If you don’t like fights like that then just go jump off a bridge and die.

Great fight!

Uysk takes it for me. Definitely worthy of a rematch further down the line, I’d watch it again :OhYes:

Usyk is a genuine weirdo. Superb fighter, though, he sets a horrible pace to try to match.

He’s hard not to like. He’s different that’s for sure but he seems a top fella and is great to watch

No, he isn’t the level some think he is, but he’s top class and has a fan friendly style.

I dunno, winning a decision in Latvia against an inspired Briedis isn't the worst result/ performance for his 14th fight.
What flaws do you think it exposed ? You think Dorticos takes him ?

His style has become more fan friendly recently, but I think he was more effective when he was working with James Ali Bashir. He was moving more, working with his jab from the distance (see Glowacki fight).
