He lost to Krzysztof Glowacki in 2015 (=Huck vs Glowacki) but he came back to win in 2016 beating Ola Afolabi (=Afolabi vs Huck 4) and Dmytro Kucher (=Huck vs Kucher).

pretty boring fight. good boxing from briedis neutralizes huck’s offense almost completely. briedis doesn’t do much offensively himself either, but certainly enough to win almost all the rounds. Very few meaningful punches are landed at any point in the fight. So it’s a convincing win for briedis but not much fun to watch.
True – not the most exiting fight, Mairis Briedis was trying to make it great though – as always. But Marco put it on brakes as soon as it got interesting. Overally – a fight You could expect from 2 boxers who know each other very well – lot’s of sparing hours spent together. Hard to surprise each other, both know perfectly how to eliminate others knock-out punches. Congrats to Briedis – he is better. Every single round. No doubt.
