    Adamek v Briggs III ?????

    The aussie press has been reporting that Don King is trying to set up a third bout between Paul Briggs and Tomasz Adamek. The catch is that Briggs would have to win one of the other belts to make it a unification bout Would like to get your opinions as to whether (i) There should be another fight between these 2 guys considering Adamek won the first two (even though they were very close and the decision of both could have gone either way) (ii) these are the best 2 guys in the division so they should go again, (iii) you think that Briggs CAN win one of the other titles to set up the rematch and (iv) if you would watch a third bout.

    IMO, because of the closeness of the first 2 fights I think that if Briggs can get his hands on one of the other belts then these 2 warriors should fight again. The first two fights were awesome and I would be hoping that Briggs could turn the tables on him in a third bout.

    The first fight was great... but am I the only one who thought the second fight wasn't that exciting? Go the aussies though!

      To the best of my knowledge, Adamek is fighting Chad Dawson next. Which, while good for Light Heavyweight clarity, is not so good for Adamek.

        Wouldn't mind seeing a unification bout between these 2 sometime down the track.

        Good thing for Briggs is that it looks like he'll actually get enough support for another title shot, which he well deserves, & I think he'll get seriously avoided otherwise.


        Fight I'd love to see Brigg's have is with Antonio Tarver.
        Briggs was the mandatory for ages, & Tarver never gave him a shot.
        Think that Brigg's has a very good style for Tarver, & would love to see him hammer the "The Mouth".

          briggs said he didnt want to fight adamek again.

          besides, if a fighter beats you twice, whats the need for a third fight?

            Briggs needs to get a big win under his belt before taking on Adamek again. The second fight was exciting in small bursts, but nothing like the first fight. Adamek has a style that's tough for Briggs to get through-- Briggs should look to a Glen Johnson or Clinton Woods. That would be exciting and be a big name for him, if he can win.
