Man, I am pumped about the Fall, you have two Klitschkos fights in the span of one month.
Both Klitschkos opponents are dangerous and both have a grudge/history type of story.
Can't wait to see Vitaly KO that big mouth Pineapplehead, I wonder what excuse he will afterwards.Comment

Haha Briggs retire Vitali in one round? Vitali's never been down and Briggs isnt good. Also if Vitali got hit and went down and KO'ed to Briggs, guaranteed he would take the rematch, that would be huge money and would be on HBO at worst.Comment
