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

[WladIsTheChamp]

Briggs is a fast starter, and he also likes to test his opponent in the first seconds of the fight

if he senses he can end it quick, he will do just that

of course, Vitali is not a bum he can KO with his first punch, but I do believe Briggs will make Vitali feel very uncomfortable at times

Briggs has 2 big weaknesses coming into the fight : his stamina and his absence of defense for the overhand right, one of Vitali's favorite punch

SHeeeeet, if you so comfortable with your boy, then put some points on it. I'll give you 2-1 odds, 10,000 of my points to 5,000 points, straight up win, no matter how it happens or what round. Big Vit takes your Pineapplehead via a TKO in less than 10.

Might be ugly. But Vitali stop's him cold in the 10th round.

Vitali will destroy Briggs. This should be an entertaining fight while it lasts.

Shannon Briggs = KO victim #39

Ibragimov dominated Briggs.

Vitali will knock him out.

hope briggs shows up for the fight. Briggs will take a dive in the 5th collect his check. someone will help him cash it and put his X on the back. Briggs is a bum and has no heart or desire. Heck put minto in there instead.

I like Briggs as a person , met him in Nashville a couple yrs ago . very nice man very friendly and LARGE . I don't think he trains as well as he should and he takes too many punches . He has a "punchers chance " bt he does not have the skill set or stamina of a k bro . K in 9 if Briggs is unable to pressure him , k in 4 if Briggs decides to wage all out war .

[NECK SNAPPER]

Briggs is what he is but he goes out on his shield like a champ.
Vitali is a quitter has done it before in a fight he was winning.
There is no excuse for that period. You quit on your stool. You
have quit on your fans.

10 years ago with a shoulder injury...Vitali also proved against Lewis he wasnt a quitter. If you fight over 40 boxing matches and never go down youre not a quitter, when you do the same then you can call him a quitter.

Fact is Briggs has it all wrong on Vit. You do not want to pressure Vitali. Thats his bread and butter. he loves guys coming straight at him, he will backpedal and keep punching over and over except he has better reflexes and his chin is further away and he will punish Briggs. Wlad you want to pressure. Vit you want to pressure you. He leaves himself open for a counter left when he throws his right stepping into his opponents. People think that Wlad and Vit are the exact same when in fact they have pretty contrasting styles.

I felt Sosnowski looked pretty good because he wasnt really pressuring or trying to get inside, he was waiting for Vitali to pressure. SAnders had his best shots when Vitali got too confident and came after him. Lewis looked best when he got Vitali in the clinch...a place Vitali simply does not want to be.

It sounds like this fight is going to be over before it begins. Briggs is going to walk straight at Vitali and Vitali is going to backpedal, move back on the big shots and punish Briggs as he goes for the early KO. This fight is already over.

Hell fire , call him a quitter after he retired Lennox Lewis ???? He was ready to whup LL ass that night and they stopped it ! The shoulder injury why risk your whole career on one fight , sure he probaly could have beat him with one hand but he took the safe road and it has paid off in belts and millions of dollars and total dominace of the HW division .
Is ducking , retiring not as bad or worse than quitting a fight when you are injured ???

Both Klitskos are a credit to boxing and are true professionals. Being white also helps them as they are both well schooled-commincate well-no entourages or tattoos marring their clean skin. Just 2 men brought up well and are role models to be looked up too. well educated with degrees just a credit to boxing and a credit to society. God did not create all men equal just compare.

man, you're such a ****** fanboy, I broke down the fighter, that doesn't mean I think he will win

and if you're not clever enough to realize the Klitshckos are no counter punchers, I don't know what to say, your fanboyism really is a blinding thing
