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

[Tiozzo]

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.

that's quite easy to explain : they have to sell the fight and the opponent as a legit threat

saying Briggs is an asthmatic bum or that Sosnowski is a Zuri Lawrence victim wouldn't help selling tickets...

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.

Trainer Emanuel Steward has give a warning to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. He advised the champion from Ukraine to stay focused in the fight with Shannon Briggs on October 16 in Hamburg, Germany. Steward told Klitschko that he can't stay too relaxed in the early part of the fight. He thinks the fight could be the toughest of Vitali's entire career.

Ibragimov easily beat Briggs.

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

That was the whole point of the post you were replying to. You seem to have missed the joke.

Should be an entertaining fight while it lasts.

Vitali will win by KO.

Another American hope bites the dust.

Ya coz a lot of people sure have label'd Briggs as a legit 'american hope.' You ****ing monkey.

Definitely should be a fairly entertaining fight. Or at least an entertaining KO/TKO by Vitali by about rounds 5-7. Probably sooner if Vitali wasn't older now and possibly slowing a bit.

[ikim322]

KO/TKO sequence I mean.

Vitali by TKO
