Jan 27, Riga, LAT, Arena, Sauerland Event / WBSS
Oleksandr Usyk, 90,4, Ukr  W12-M  Mairis Briedis, 90,3, Lat
Semifinal in the WBSS Tournament, defence of the WBO title by Usyk as he won the WBC title from Briedis with a win on scores of 115-113 twice and 114-114. It was fastpaced with Usyk, a southpaw, using his superior reach and outjabbed Briedis. But Usyk´s left was seldom effective and many of his punches lacked power. He fought like the exellent amateur boxer he is while Briedis kept coming, working with fewer but harder punches. As it was Usyk´s volume made a difference and he was a deserved winner but had to work hard to get it in an exellent fight.
