Comments Thread For: Shannon Briggs Says: "I'll Make Vitali Klitschko Quit!"

[ChopperRead]

Hopefully we won't have the de****able Teddy Atlas doing the ESPN analysis for this one. His unconditional hatred for the K Bros is sickening.

Yep, all he did was run Wlad down last Saturday, and he did the same thing when Vitali fought Gomez. Why have a guy doing "analysis" when he so obviously can't be objective?

[ChopperRead]

no obviously

what was Walcott strategy when he fought Louis ? lure Louis to come in and lead so that he (Walcott) could counterpunch him (this has nothing to do with tempo)

both Klits fight at a rather slow pace, particularly Vitali, and it is a pace they set themselves

if you pick up this pace, you throw him off his normal game, his zone of comfort, cause he doesn't have the time to think and set up his offense, he is kind of forced to react to what you do instead of making you react to what he does

The Klits hate to have a fighter coming at them throwing a lot

Like just about every other fighter out there.

haha yea because vitali looked so uncomfortable in there against arreola. didn't vitali throw over 1000 punches? thats pretty damn sick for a guy his size and age. you rarely see that in the heavyweights.

vitali can fight at what ever pace, just generally depends on what his opponent does that determines how long the fight is going to last and how much they are going to get hit - etc.

vitali's movement may be slowing down a bit and his punches aren't quite as crisp as they used to be - but hes changed his style slightly and delivers a lot more awkward punches from weird angles. i don't think hes anywhere near washed up - and certainly not enough for briggs to beat him. let a few of the fights end from my sig and if i didn't go broke from them ill bet all the points i can on this fight. i didn't realize people were really giving briggs a shot.

Hyping up Briggs isn't going to make it any more impressive for Vitali's resume when he beats him. Sorry Klit fans.

To me Briggs is still old and shot and undeserving of a title shot.

Arreola was walking in without throwing , which is a huge mistake

and the Klits are no counter punchers, like it or not...

it is true Vitali uses a good variety of punches, he particularly did when he fought Fatteola

false

a good counterpuncher likes to have an aggressive fighter coming at him and throwing

the Klits aren't counter punchers, and Wlad stops anything he's doing when punches are coming his way

don't be ridiculous now

Shannon is younger than Vitali.

And he's is younger than Audley Harrison too.

I swear, I am seeing Briggs in a whole new light, prior to this is I wanted Vtialy to seriously hurt Briggs, but I wish for a couple of KDs, and stoppage by the ref before too much damage. He semees a much more jovial and funny guy, compared to all the "both brothers are ****sexuals and they are scared of me" crap. Confident, respectful, good sense of humour, you would think I was talking about Vitaly only, but no, Briggs was displaying these qualities. I hope he gets a big payday from this and continue to fight for a coupel of fight for him, just not against bums that he lines to slaughter or the Klitschko Bros cause you know what would happen again.

Briggs, if you are reading this ****, I know you do on occassion. Keep up the jovial act going, it suits you better than the trash-talking loud mouth accussing people of being **** and racists, when you know they weren't.

Was I wrong about Briggs all this time, was that just a tough guy act? Or was he just simply scared to death of VItaly and reacted in a playful manner so as to not get Big VIt angry. Something to think about

I think Briggs got scared and intimitated to hide those feeling he decided to act silly and jovially - kissing the belt, askin Vitaly to touch his stomach, placing his head on VIt's shoulder and then closing his yeys in clear enjoyment when they went fishing afterwards, looking into VIt's eyes with a demur smile. If the two of them were in prison, and not in suits, I could have sworn Briggs was Vitaly's b*tch and was trying to make nice with him so that Vitaly doesn't **** him too bad that night.

Take pity on the mand Big Vitaly, **** him up, just don't tear him a new one.

[WladIsTheChamp]

I dont know why briggs is a bum he has done alot with what he has. And he has never quit on his stool. Vitali should win but
he has surrendered what true champ has ever done that.

Tyson quit twice, once because of the Danny Williams leg injury and the second, he simply quit on his stool against a nobody in McBride while not being injured. Do you consider Mike Tyson not a true champ then?

GTFO! - The Klitschkos are not good counter punchers? Se any Vitaly fight: Sanders, Johnson, Hide, Williams, Lewis, Gomez, Arreoal, Peter, and can name almost asll of them but those in particular stood out in my mind for VItaly's counterpunching ability from ALL angles with weird shots, he leans back and the comes up with a left that turns into a hook or a jab, or he can change his cross into a upper cut or vice versa. He is the MASTA of counter punchers.
