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]
