Klit Kayos briggs in 4 rounds

It'll be a good fight while it lasts.

Briggs might shake Vitali in the first round, but when Vitali begins counter-punching Briggs will look helpless...

This is going to be a whitewash, Briggs was finished along time ago.

I like Briggs as an opponent for Vitali much more than Sosnowski. Anything can happen in the early rounds, Briggs is a dangerous puncher.

I couldn't get excited about the Sosnowski fight, but I'm pumped for this one!

Audley Harrison has never defeated a Ring top ten heavyweight or won a world title. Briggs at least has the KO win over Lyakhovich.

Shannon is slightly younger than Audley, who turns 39 in October.

And Shannon has the most first round KOs of any heavyweight in boxing history. Most of Briggs 1st round KOs were over clubfighters and perhaps even cab drivers, but let's keep in mind Audley lost to the Belfast taxi driver Martin Rogan, who started pro boxing at age 33.
