The wards of the Dutch mentor Ronald Kuman have not yet had a single fight within the framework of the Spanish La Liga championship and they hone their skills in friendly matches, in the last three of which they won. The last time the “blue-garnet” entered the field was on September 19, beating Elche with a minimal advantage of 1:0. Antoine Griezmann was the author of the only goal in the 2-nd minute of the confrontation. For medical reasons goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, defender Samuel Umtiti and forward Martin Braithwaite are forced to miss the future game.
Mairis appeared 27 times in the professional ring and celebrated success on 26 occasions. In January 2018, he suffered the first defeat of his career against Alexander Usik, but then developed the streak to three victories, which continues to this day. The Latvian managed to deal with Brandon Delorier, Noel Gevor and Krzysztof Glovatsky. At the same time, we note that only in the last fight he got an early victory in the third round, knocking down his opponent twice in a row. At the moment he occupies the first line of the rating in the division. It is worth saying that Briedis knows how to adapt perfectly to his opponent, but at the same time he always has a clear plan and performs it well. He has excellent striking technique and, on top of that, a strong punch.
