It's about time. How many times have they called this fight off?? 2-3 times now.

It's a shame this fight isnt being televised or is it? Koval is a pretty decent fighter for what he is worth. I've seen him a few times fight, he has decent power and decent skills. An all around good C+ heavyweight. Should get Briggs in some good rounds against a boxer and look impressive in doing so. Briggs stops him between rounds 7-9 thats a guarantee

No way Koval lasts that long. Koval get's hammered by 5.

I give him the benefit of the doubt by not trading a lot and give him up til round 7-9.

How about Briggs facing someone who is alive rather than a walking stiff. Pretty good concept don't you think?

He should be looking to fight a Larry Donald or someone of that calibre if he wants to challenge for a title.

You are not buying that excuse that boxers are afraid to face Briggs are you? The same Briggs that lost to McCline, Wilson, Fields? Why doesn't Briggs face McCline again? To avenge his lopsided loss. Getting a fight with McCline should not be all that hard being that McCline is looking to fight anybody just to make money.

How ironic is it that people all of a sudden want to call Briggs the most dangerous fighter in the division but abuse Wlad every chance they get. You so called experts constantly point to Wlad's two losses (to hard punching Sanders, Brewster)as the end of his career however you fail to mention Briggs losses to these other scrubs? ****ing hypocrite's.

Briggs vs McCline would be a decent card for one of Kushners Heavyweight cards...Id pay to see it...

Briggs is decent at best and is a B- fighter. He is building hype by beating nobodies. The first time he steps into the ring against a game top 10 guy his ass will be on the line and will be floored.

I dont give Briggs much hope but I do think he is decent to watch and is rather interesting the comeback trail he is building up for himself...Now where this leads himself is well less to be desired we all know what will happen and what to expect when this does occur.
