funny pics
I particularly like the one where Briggs is pointing at a precise flag on the WBC belt, probably the US flag, in an obvious attempt to say that the belt will be back in the states (Vitali doesn't look happy on that pic either) -
Briggs looks a bit older than he really is.Comment

no disrespect to Briggs, he appears to be a great, humble family man but he looks homeless in the last picture. reminds of dave chappelle's "tyrone biggums" crackhead skit (chappelle as the crackhead wearing a crazy old looking suit
)
it literally looks like vitali is fighting a bum
I hope Briggs has the stamina to fight a full 5 rounds at leastComment
