Shannon Briggs is in shape, he's down to 242 pounds!

So what?

Being in shape doesn't automatically make you a top fighter.

He is done as a fighter. His prime was around 13 years ago.

He will be out of breath by the 2nd round. He has absolutely no chance in this fight.

Is a garbage fight for Vitaly, and is shameful since it is a back-to-back garbage fight.

Its just that he does have the power to ko anyone if he lands right and IDK if him coming in lighter will help him in anyway or increase his stamina at all but it certainly couldn't hurt.

Its nice to see that he seems motivated and is taking this seriously.

Well it should increase his speed and at least improve his stamina to a certain extent. Why wouldn't it? He's been carrying an extra 30-40lbs the past few years, so of course that will have an effect on performance. In his early years he had very fast hands.
