Shannon Briggs Crushes Another One

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK - The large crowd which squeezed it’s way into the Hammerstein Ballroom came to see their fighter, New York’s own Shannon Briggs.

Fighting back in his hometown as the main event, in his promoter, Cedric Kushner’s, initial showcasing of his newly formed Gotham Boxing, Briggs delivered in dramatic fashion!

Taking on a tough and game, yet doomed, Chris Koval, Briggs started early with a deadening jab which had the outclassed fighter from Youngstown, Ohio, puffed and red about the face before the end of the first round. With Koval taunting the physically imposing Briggs and yelling "you can’t hurt me", Briggs continued pounding away at his hapless foe. While Briggs tipped the scales at 273 lbs., and will need to get that weight down when he takes on more challenging opposition, he looked solid and was boxing well. [details]

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs would be a great championship fight. Both are tall, big and very strong with fast hands.

briggs was fast when he was 220 lbs range. not anymore and he has no defense. he'd get stopped within 3 rounds

Yeah Briggs needs to drop some weight if he seriously wants to get back in the game.

Briggs doesn't deserve a shot at the title. What has he done? Who of note has he beaten?


Answer: NO ONE AND HE DOESN'T!

Good grief. Briggs couldn't beat ANYONE in the top ten. NOT ONE....and pick a top ten heavyweight list. If it's legit, Briggs won't beat any of them.

He's got a hype machine and maybe public sentiment in his corner 'cause he's a nice guy; but nice don't equal worthy of a title shot. Unless he fights and beats someone near the top 5, I don't want to hear anything about this guy deserving a shot. It's an insult to those who do.
