Comments Thread For: Steward: Briggs, The Most Diffcult Fight of Klitschko's Career

[ChopperRead]

I agree.

Briggs has the most first-round KOs in heavyweight history.

I re-watched Lewis-Briggs yesterday. Shannon had Lewis hurt several times in the first three rounds, especially near the end of round one. But in the 4th and 5th, it was all Lewis.

If Vitali gets through the first three, he'll win the fight for sure. But he needs to be very focused and careful in the first three rounds.

Don't worry, Vitali is well aware of Briggs's history and his early power.

Briggs will be hyperventilating by round two.

Briggs has been playing the asthma card constantly in the lead-up.

He needs to harden the **** up!

maybe Briggs will give Vitali his most difficult first round, but that's about it probably, I doubt Briggs can do what Lewis did : turn Vitali's face into a pizza as Wlad would call it

Yep! However, even the hardest punches of Lewis could not knock Vitali down.

There is always some praise to the opponent from the Klitschkos teams. They always say "we do not underestimate this guy" or "he is a very strong opponent" and "he has more pro experience than Vitali". But in reality no other heavyweights is on the same levl as Klitschkos, and nobody is really dangerous to them now.

Emmanuel just gives Briggs 3 rounds to beat Vitali.. most be related to his asma.

Of course steward is gonna say that, he wants the most eyeballs watching the fight too...but in reality its gonna be another snoozefest of a fight till the older Ivan Drago brother puts him away via the same 1-2, 1-2 bs they always do.

The Briggs haters need go back and check out what he did against Ibragimov. Not just in the first three rounds but throughout that war Briggs was able to utilize a sequence of left jab feints followed by two consecutive NASTY looking right hand feints. He did this over and over and over and over again. Ibragimov had no answer. Not Iggy's fault, of course. There IS no answer.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Vitali deals with that kind of bell to bell potential violence. I wish him luck but Briggs got this.

Why would Eman care, he doesn't train him.

And also.. you clearly don't watch many Vitali fights. Him and his brother are nothing a like.

Ibragimov easily beat Briggs.

Vitali is going to do more than just defeat him -- he is going to beat the living **** out of him.
