Briggs: "I'm Going To Knock Ibragimov's Head Off"

[beez721]

Briggs- Heavy hands
Sultan - weak chin
but i think Sultan will steal some rounds here and there and it will be a very close fight

sultans chin is still unknown. if anything its briggs that has shown chin issues

[beez721]

Sultan is a great guy and a good fighter but his chin conserns me... and we all know Briggs has crazy power...I think it will be a good fight.

yea,,,such crazy power he's never been able to stop an even semi durable top 20 opponent

JD -
It didn't freeze up? I forgot what fight I was trying to watch on internet recently, but it was hopeless - the picture was frozen up more than it moved. (I often get amnesia when it comes to boxing matches - I forget 'em!)

Thanks!

No, neither the Chagaev fight on the Russian DTV link nor the Abraham fight on the German station froze up. But I remember when I used to have regular speed internet instead of high speed internet, videos froze up a lot. If the YouTube videos play without freezing on your computer, the TV stations will work okay as well.

Briggs was forced to take a two week hiatus from training for another bout of Pneumonia. When the WBO was approached about postponing the fight again, Briggs' people were informed that he would be stripped if he couldn't make the fight. So Briggs will be heavy again and will be looking to take Sultan out early, which is what everyone expects anyways. And if no asthma attack happens again (I think it was a panic attack) then Briggs will barely make it past the 4th. So basically Briggs will give us a great three rounds. I still have Briggs by early KO, but this is for you betters out there that wouldn't mind a little inside info.

So how is Briggs doing in his training? How's Yoel as Briggs current trainer?

I think Briggs' power is overrated by some. he hasn't put anybody good to sleep to my knowledge.

Actually both boxers share some similarities once you get past the size disparity. Both have good power and questionable punch resistance. Both have shown a disinclination to force the action on occasion combined with questionmarks over their stamina.

This is why we could end up with a 12 round stinker or a 5 round KO for either man. At 50-50 odds I'd favour Ibragimov, but at the odds advertised I'd probably bet on Briggs or steer clear of this one.

Saloon here in AZ is showing the fight, thanks to me! $5 cover charge to keep out the riff raff. If anyone's interested and in the vicinity, lemme know and I'll give you the details.

....I have gotten fights on there in the past but the stream comes and goes. We shall see I guess.

Hey, it's better than nothing, right?
