Vitali Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs: who wins?

[The Hammer]

Briggs. KO4. Stretcher.

Do you really believe that?

I have a feeling Briggs will at least last the distance, even if he gets beaten badly. I don't know why, it's just a feeling I have.

The poll results pretty much reflect my overall view. Klitschko will win via complete domination.

[The Hammer]

Not many interesting fights between now and the Vitali-Briggs fight on October 16.

Too bad the three Super Six fight are all postponed (or in the case of Kessler-Green, cancelled).

I hope Briggs has a great camp and comes in ready to ****. I will be watching the ESPN stream live for sute.

[The Hammer]

Hopefully Shannon's former trainer Teddy Atlas won't be working on telecast of this fight. His hatred of the Klitschkos is sickening.

[The Hammer]

Any more predictions for today's fight?

The referee for this fight, Englishman Ian John-Lewis, is the guy who was supposed to referee the Klitschko vs Gomez bout, until Klitschko's camp asked for another referee. He was the referee for the Harrison vs Rogan upset, and refereed the Gomez vs Virchis fight.

Having that crooked bastard as the referee is the one thing that worries me.

His behavior in Wlodarczyk-Fragomeni I was de****able. He was yelling at Wlodarczyk all night for nothing, and didn't count a knockdown which would have given Wlodarczyk the win. He was obviously paid of by Fragomeni's promoter.
