    Well obviously Briggs DOES have brain damage now.

    The proof is there. He was never this funny BEFORE the Vitali beaing :lo1:

    The fight was allegedly not stopped, and I agree, because of American nationalism.

    I was determined by the "boxing high command" so to speak that the Euro's could not be seen to have demolished the last American champion so thoroughly. Briggs had to make the distance at all costs. This fight was never going to be stopped under any circumstances, only if Briggs was rendered unconscious.

    It was a very calculated decision but at Briggs' expense and danger.

      He's one of the worst.

      Sometimes Lewis stops fights early, depending upon who he wants to win.

      Briggs collapsed and was hospitalized after that fight. He seems crazy now, probably he's brain-damaged.

      He could have been seriously disabled like Magomed.

            By the way he acts I say he does
