Shannon Briggs, who lost his WBO heavyweight title via twelve round decision to Sultan Ibragimov on Saturday night at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is blaming a combination of asthma and asthma medication for the loss. He weighed in at a very high 273-pounds for the bout, which Briggs claims is the result of asthma medicine complicating his training camp. [details]

I believe him though, but I don't think ppl who are bulky, ******ed, and have asthma should be boxing in the first place.Comment

Asthma really does **** you up, I don't have it but I know how bad it can **** someone up if he has a bad case of it. But the thing is, honestly why are people with asthma even allowed to box? I'd understand if they had not a bad case, but from this article it makes it sound like briggs has terrible asthma.Last edited by EliteSoldier; 06-03-2007, 05:40 AM.Comment

I knew he wouldnt have that belt long.
Toney could beat Ibragimov and retire champ
if he's fortunate.
His best bet is against a small Heavyweight.Comment

To hell with the asthma excuse.
A lot of excellent athletes have asthma.
In another thread, I predicted the soon-to-be worst heavyweight champion would be revealed tonight. And he did.
Briggs should never have been champion in the first place.Comment

I'm glad no one is taking up for that ****ing loser Briggs. He's the worst fighter to hold the HW title in a while, and that's ****ing saying something!! Maybe him and Rachman can fight each other behind a homeless shelter in the near future like the ****ing bums they are. Briggs always talks mad **** and now he is giving excuses. **** him and those ****** dreads...Comment

Shannon Briggs, as I said weeks ago, is the worst heavyweight titleholder of all time. Not only in the ring as a boxer, but he's also a braggart and a poor sport. He said a few days ago he was going to "send the Russian into orbit" and insulted the quieter Ibragimov. Now he makes excuses!Last edited by Steelhammer86; 06-03-2007, 10:20 AM.Comment
