Vitali-Klitschko-Shannon Briggs. RBR and discussion.

[Bastian Loc]

you guys all have hearts made out of solid gold.

[MAXWELL_]

Some people reckon that Briggs will fight cautios to try to go the distance. I suppose thats possible, but I dont find it likely. I expect Briggs to all out in an attempt to stop Vitali ecaue IMO that's Briggs only chance to pull it off.

I doubt he'll succeed and my guess is that Vitali stops him inside 6.

agree. vitali Should be able to finish briggs in 6.
but wondering with klitschko prepensity to play safe and stretch fights out.
and briggs being trimmer then ever. if both will be holding each other up
in a longer snoozer.

[BattlingNelson]

Yeah.
the obvious problem for briggs is his stamina past 6 rounds. For him to beat vitali hes gunn have to land some big shots early , and then keep pressuring him. I feel Viatli will be looking for a TKO to keep up his impressive record

Last time Briggs won against a noteworthy opponent was in 2006 where he fought cautiously to score a last round come from behind KO against Liakhovitch. Maybe that wil be his gameplan against Vitali who has looked a little out of breath when finishing opponents lately.

Briggs will fight his usual fight of being the counterpuncher. This does not end inside 6, this fight will be going rounds.

And except for the 12th, that was a pretty awful fight.


I hope today isn't similar.

[TheGreatA]

The Ustinov fight is terrible. Ustinov is crude and his opponent evidently doesn't want to fight.
