BRIGGS-IBRAGIMOV: ROUND BY ROUND????? Anybody doin it?

In a walkout bout, former heavyweight title challenger Calvin Brock (31-1, 23 KOs) won an eight round unanimous decision over Alex Gonzalez (18-5, 8 KOs). Scores were 79-74, 77-74, 77-74. Brock was knocked down in round three and wasn't hurt.

the commentators from latin america said that briggs in march had to cancel this fight because he had a pneumonia, and thats something that it takes a lot of time to completly recover. im not making excuses, he made a shitty performance, but still, he wasnt in a good condition for the fight.

compubox stats- shannon briggs total punches thrown threw 11 11 thrown 3 landed pretty good numbers for a 36 minutes of fighting:boxing: http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/7975/hippl3.png

Now be a good sport...Sultan Ibragimov won and has earned some respect! I respect him as much as I can respect a poor fighter. I refuse to acknolwedge him as a good fighter until he actually shows me something. And accept what truth? That there are white fighter from Europe/Asia? Zomg, not that! I hate white people. I have no hate towards any fighter do to race, color, or creed... their skill and entertainment value is all that interests me. Sultan has given me neither... Although getting knocked down by Austin made me chuckle.

do you guys remember briggs saying that if he didn't had asthma he would be greatest fighter of all times? LOL

If he challenges the klits, oleg, or peter. I see him losing. He beat a bum ass fighter tonight. Yes I agree! But atleast he will be more active than Briggs was! I would like to see Sultan next fighting Wlad! Wlad would ko his ass in 4 rounds...

The klits are the real deal, they have skills and are strong as fuck. I don't think any smaller guy even with the best boxing skills could beat them. Because the klits are pretty high up on the skill factor. In interviews shannon said that the heavyweight division is filled with joke fighters, he's one of the joke fighters and has always been a joke. They are good, but Mike Tyson, Jack Dempsey, and Rocky Marciano they are not. They are the best in today's era, but todays era isn't very good. They are B+ fighters in a division full of D level fighters to be honest.

this fight sucked! I'm happy that Sultan won maybe we will see some exciting bouts with him as champion!

Congrats to Ibragimov! Very happy to see him win the title, I met him at the Hollywood Hard Rock Cafe for the Night of Heavyweights card back in December and he as well as his brother were very nice guys. I also met his manager, but didn't realize that was his manager until watching the card tonight. Glad to see the smaller man win, hopefully people will realize that its not all about size in boxing, skills do mean alot as well, which is why I shake my head when people continue to insist that guys like Marciano, Dempsey, and even prime Tyson wouldn't be able to compete with the guys today.

here we go another guy that needs to resort to perversion when he hears what he doesnt wanna hear. many of his punches were grazing but on 2 different occasions he landed a clean combination and had briggs hurt. even the announcers at ringside mentioned it and as far as your perverted remark goes Im not even big on sultan. he's extremely vulnerable to right hands and I think guys like wlad and peter would take him out,,, but I hadnt much doubt he'd get past briggs 2 occasions? Really? That many against a stationary target? I'm fucking impressed. Ringside announcers are paid to liven up a boring fight and exagerate when nescesary. Sultan's best punches were never part of combinations but rather his straight left lead or after a very small jab. All of his 3 punch combos and whatnot were simply not landing. white man wins over big black man.....let the racist comments rain in You're the only one who has mentioned race in this thread. Get the fuck out.

Hah, I didn't pick either fighter because it was/is a joke of a heavyweight title fight. Every "big punch" with the exception of a handful were easy to see were partially blocked or not landing flush. I'm not suggesting by any stretch of the imagination that Sultan didn't win... but take his dick out of your mouth. here we go another guy that needs to resort to perversion when he hears what he doesnt wanna hear. many of his punches were grazing but on 2 different occasions he landed a clean combination and had briggs hurt. even the announcers at ringside mentioned it and as far as your perverted remark goes Im not even big on sultan. he's extremely vulnerable to right hands and I think guys like wlad and peter would take him out,,, but I hadnt much doubt he'd get past briggs

Weren't you won of the ppl he predicted mr. big black muscle man going to kick that white dudes ass? I was cheering for Briggs... but i feared his power and though he would catch Sultan..... I'm happy for Sultan... he ended the critics of having a weak chin. Good job to him!!! Briggs needs to lose pounds and come 230-240 maximum... he has huge stamina and lung problems he is damaging himself

how the fuck did he block the punches when his hands were down the entire fight....sultan landed shots right on his fake ass muslim beard... First off... yes... I'm extremely racist. I hate everybody who isn't a nice purple. Blocked might've been somewhat of a stretch... yes he blocked some shots here and there but more than anything Sultan simply missed or Briggs actually avoided. Sliding off the side of his head or hitting his chest do not equate to clean, solid punches. You people seem to think I'm taking an issue with Sultan. Wait... actually I am I suppose. Only in so much is I have a hard time likign a fighter who almost lost to Ray fucking Austin. Neither fighter is shit; so stop acting like they are.

Briggs has lung problems and he is way too big... he should come in at 230-240 maximum... he has problems and all these muscles don't help him. i agree....hes got way too much meat on him...the heart cant handle all that weight!

i also gave briggs round 1 since neither of them did shit. i think if you rewatch the fight and pay close attention you can make a case for briggs winning rounds 10 and 11 .....I agree on round one.

uh yea,,,ok dude. I guess al bernstein and tompkins are both crazy too then. try watching it with your eyes open next time. btw,,,arent you one of the clowns that picked briggs by kayo? :duh: hes out of his mind....hes just a racist and mad that a small lil white dude knocked one of the biggest black heavies out their
