      Briggs should have gone out swinging, better to get stopped from exhaustion than stand their like a tool for 12 rounds getting punched and throwing hardly anything back.

            hmm...
            Where did I say that ?

            You think everyone is able to keep their hands up when they're damn near 40 years old, have been in many wars, have always had major stamina problems and are / have been taking flush shots all night ?, you think he wanted that to happen ?.

            Yes you are the only one confused about it because it's ****ing common sense that he was not able too.

              Well, why didn't malignaggi keep his hands up against Khan? It's because a lot of fighters feel they have an easier time getting off their punches with the left hand low.

                So keepin your hands up hurts your stanima more than gettin hit flush in the face?


                So you think him keepin his hands down and gettin hit flush is a better game plan? Lolz

                  I did actually question why Malignaggi didn't keep his hands up. If you're getting tagged to the face at will the sensible thing to do is keep your hands up, especially when your opposition has a great range.

                  You see with Mayweather he keeps his hands dropped but if the opponent starts tagging him cleanly he will keep his hands up.

                  It's about being sensible.

                    Where did I say keeping your hands down is a better game plan ?, quote me saying that please.

                    It's not like he had a choice, he was not able to keep his hands up, not being able and not wanting too are 2 different things.

                    Learn to read "son", done here, you're boring me.

                      what surprised me was how dopey Briggs looked on the ring entrance... looked like he was sleep walking. Seemed a completely different character to the hyped up guy that was at the weigh in
