Shannon Briggs vs Vinny Mandalone on Tarver Jones card

[GranTorino]

i just watched briggs on the transporter 2.. it was totally unrealistic, the transporter hit briggs on the chin and he didnt go down...

I don't think that's entirely unrealistic. The chin you need to reach the elite (read top 50) level of the HW division would be extraordinary I would think. In my opinion, any of those heavies would be able to take the best shot of the average guy with no problem. Except mine, perhaps, but Im a 6'6" and 340lb powerlifter, so I might only be able to put Byrd down. But I doubt it.

Briggs vs Mandalone on Tarver-Jones undercard, Mandalone is always entertaining when he fight he was in some reall wars on fnf, and Briggs is trying to get back on the mix of things, should be a good fight, man now I dont kn9ow what IM gonna watch we got Byrd-Willimson, Toney-Guinn on shobox and Tarver-Jones, Mandallone-Briggs on same night, man???

Are we talking about the same Shannon Briggs? No offense, but I'm not the least bit interested in seeing this re-tread fight again.

I thought that Vinny was fighting Minto in a rematch on the undercard? I have known Vinny personally for about 8 years now and I think his handlers are making a huge mistake in putting him in there with Briggs. He still has alot to learn about defending himself properly. Unfortunately I see a tough night for Vinny.

i was joking on brigg's bad chin.... he's been floored so many times, he should been ko'd in the movie when he got hit...

I don't care what anyone says but I still think Shannon Briggs can become a contender. He is only 32 and if he works hard and gets into shape he may just get a shot at the title. I've been making posts about this since day one and most people were right away making the remark seem ludacris, we will see in the next year or so.

This is going to be a hilarious fight. Vinny think he actually has a chance at the heavy division, and he's going against a skillful, powerful vet. The only way I see Briggs losing is if he doesn't train for it, AT ALL. Even then, I still see him winning.

Easy win for Briggs and a good showcase. He would have a chance aainst Ruiz or Brewster and could regain the title. I consider him a former world champ because of the Foreman fight. What's everybody's take on that?
