Briggs-Ibragimov Lands in MSG on 3/10

[beez721]

On Saturday, March 10, at Madison Square Garden’s Theater, Brooklyn-born WBO Heavyweight Champion Shannon Briggs will defend his title for the first time against unbeaten challenger and 2000 Olympic Silver medalist Sultan Ibragimov in a 12 round war to be televised live on HBO, beginning at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT. [details]

if sultan comes in shape briggs can kiss his title goodbye. I think people are going to be very surprised by the outcome of this one

[beez721]

LOL......Austin is one of the worst fighters I have ever watched but somehow he gets draws and ****.

either you've only watched him against austin or you dont have much boxing knowledge. I'll take it as you only saw him against austin. sultan is very vulnerable to straight right hands but he's also a very good 2 fisted puncher. he did look like a sloppy mess in his last fight but he was just too heavy and it showed,,plus austin has that awckward herky jerky style that throws your timing off. I feel pretty confident that he goes through briggs. the first 3 rounds will be dangerous though

Austin would be a pick 'em fight with Briggs. I've said this over and over again. I really do think Briggs is the most overrated currently active boxer on this forum. I have no idea why he has so many fans. The biggest victory of his life, the win over Foreman, was a ****ing robbery. His career is a joke.

Rahman was a better and more deserving champion.

I agree with you on all points. plus a lot of people are underrating sultan mostly based on his last fight. he has flaws but he also has a very good offensive arsenal when hes in shape

[beez721]

If a Glass jaw then great heart!

more like a glass defense. he got hit clean often and did get up fairly clear eyed and finished the fight. he was too heavy in that fight

this is a heavyweight matchup any fan is gonna want to watch. There isnt a chance its gonna be another nothing performance by Briggs, Ibragimovs style simply wont allow it.

I wanna go to this one.

[Kball15]

It's because he looks like a Wrestler, man....or a comic book hero or villain. He's all flash, no substance; and I don't get the appeal either.

Briggs is a very personable guy. Nice guy. I can definetly see why a lot of guys like him. I'm not a fan, but i've enjoyed a lot of his past fights and it seems like he could be in a great fight he just hasnt been givent the opponent. i think this could be a great fight

Ibragimov is going to get the piss whipped out of him.

[Kball15]

I hope Ibragimov is getting ready to fight in a hostile evironment because MSG my guess will be a really pro-Briggs crowd.

well its in the theatre so only about 5000?

and ill certainly be going to root on Ibragimov

[psychopath]

If Briggs loses this one he can kiss his career good bye.

I don't know I'm not fully decided yet but I'm leaning towards Briggs at this point simply because I want to see Briggs takes a shot at WLAD and Peter.

I hope Sultan knocks that big phony's freakin' bloc off.

WOW why the hate you like cops that kill puppies and kids but hate Shannon Briggs
