manuel charr takes on cruiser mairis breidis.

breidis record is probably more like 21-1 and not 16-0 as boxrec list because he had two prizefighter tournaments that arent included.

he's quite good. and has been up and down in the cruiser and heavy division.

can he beat a full heavy like Charr?

charr was (like everyone) fairly mediocre-looking against Wlad and povetkin but is a fairly ok b level heavy

could be a interesting matchup. I'd like to see Breidis outwork Charr for the points.

Never seen Breidis. Charr is a good gate keeper, so a win over him would look good for anyone.

And as a side note, Charr was in against Vitali, not Wlad.

And i'd add that briedis' loss is VERY questionable, i thought he won the fight

Briedis is amongst the best body punchers of the division and has excellent hands for a big fighter. I think he'd be a player at cruiser but it's just easier to find fights for him at heavy... a little like Ugonoh...

As far as skills, Briedis is much better but it's a step up and we'll see how he handles Charr's heavy hooks. IMO Briedis wins by UD
