Vitali Klitschko's Trainer: Briggs Will Never Be The Same

By Ruslan Chikov

Vitali Klitschko's trainer Fritz Sdunek believes former champion Shannon Briggs will never be the same after the terrible beating he took last Saturday in Hamburg, Germany. Vitali made the fifth defense of his WBC heavyweight title with a dominating twelve round beating of Briggs.

After the contest was over, Briggs was taken to the hospital where doctors found several facial fractures, including the orbital bone of the left eye, a concussion, a tendon tear in the bicep that came after blocking a Klitschko punch in the first round and a busted left ear drum. Briggs' entire face was very swollen from the punishment and had some trouble breathing due to his asthma.

Klitschko's trainer was very surprised that neither Briggs' corner or promoter tried to stop the contest.

Sdunek said - "Briggs will never  be the same after all of those puncehs. I would have taken my fighter out of there after the tenth round."
