Comments Thread For: Klitschko Broke Briggs' Face, Shannon in The Hospital

Wow,I'm not too surprised either. Briggs must have taken at least 75 flush, solid straight rights while he had his left hand down and he was eating them like candy. I hope the guy is alright, his face was taking a pounding like a drum, I quit watching after the 11th rd...the outcome was inevitable.

It took you 'til the 11th to realise that?!

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

He needed to be saved from his own bravery.

Neither shocked nor surprised!!! The outcome of his injuries was not shocking to say the least.

lets hope ist just on the outside and briggs doesnt suffer permanent damage

After 10th round I could not watch, as someone who has basic medical education, I knew exactly what they will fester into and it was sickening

[BrooklynBomber]

Briggs wil be very very lucky man if he suffers minimum neurological damage, but as it stands he is likely very braindamaged. Vitaly hit him with a number of nasty shots around the temple area. Very bad place to him someone.

So Briggs management and promotor urged the WBC NOT to stop the fight because it was likely Briggs last shot...

Shame on them. Being brave outside the ropes in this manner is sickening. One hopes that other fighters from that stable take note. Disgusting.

That fight was sickening really.. he got hit in the face flush so many times.. the ref had the final say? He should of stopped the fight. There was no need to continue on.. really it was that pointless - Briggs looked like he didn't want to fight near the end and was that his wife at the end in the ring? Don't know how she watched that.

[Mr. Philadel]

hope he doesn't suffer any further lasting damage from this....get well soon Cannon!!

[BALLISTIC]

i wouldve stopped at around 7th..at most rd 10..if that was haye...he wouldve been dropped everytime that right landed..
