Wladimir Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs

[Hitman932]

My brother is gonna bet $200 on briggs, he's gonna have a hell of a time watching this one

he may as well set his 200 bucks on fire

Lennox Lewis came back & defeated the people who beat him. His two losses were attributed mostly to his own apathy, & that seemed to proven by the way he handled the returns.

Wlad was KO'd three separate times. He was KO'd twice because he unraveled, & became exhausted, after being unable to finish his foes.
The other time (Sanders), he was KO'd because he could not avoid
or absorb the punches coming his way.
Those losses showed big *****s in his armor....*****s that will be just about impossible to fill in.

"Anit-Wlad" rhetoric ? That's what you'd call it, based on that little bit ? C'mon....

My point isn't what Lennox did to redeem himself, or how anyone got knocked out, it's that Lennox too got knocked out, just like Wlad. And so did,
Joe Louis
Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson
Sonny Liston
Joe Frazier
Evander Holyfield
George Foreman
Floyd Patterson
Jack Dempsey

and countless others...

Are you going to make excuses to why Wlad getting Ko'ed is different from all these guys getting KO'ed? Eventually it will become more and more obvious that your comments are "anit-wlad" rhetoric. The point is he's human just like all these guys and getting KO'ed is common, should even expected in a fighters career. IT'S THE NATURE OF THE SPORT. And it happens to the best of them.

.....& I can't really figure what it is you were trying to say in your comment concerning my take on Briggs...but, I'll tell you this:
If you think Shannon Briggs is not an overhyped fighter, who has come up short......then you are as blind as you are unobjective & straight-up sensitive.

In this I was referring in general to you entire post.

In regards to you saying I'm "as blind and I'm un-objective" Is exactly the opposite of the truth. The fact that I don't differentiate between Wlad getting knocked out and everyone else getting knocked out is itself being fair, objective, and seeing the truth for what it is.

As for your sensitive comment, It's more that I'm annoyed with the constant "unfair, bias, & un-objective" mud slinging at Klitschko.

castillo and cotto would be fighting on this card along with wlad/briggs if castillo wasnt such a **** up. if that were the case i would definately be going. as it is i hope they add a couple fights cause im not gonna go all the way to new york to see briggs get mowed down in 2 rounds.

Me and Enadeus actually thought of doing boxingscene east coast meet up on that card. Oh well, I am going to see that fight anyway.

No way Wlad will win within 4 rounds, will not happen... Briggs is a muscle machine Wlad will respect Briggs power and try and knock him out in the mid-late rounds. Wlad knows how bad his chin is and he wouldn't be foolish enough to go for the KO this early, people that predict Wlad KO in 2 know absolutely nothing about heavyweight boxing.

[HipsterRan]

Briggs will KO Wlad, Briggs is a new man and has a new will to win !

[K-DOGG]

Wlad comes out after Shannon

and Shannon starts to retreat.

If Briggs goes back any farther,

he'll end up in the ringside seats!


Wlad throws a left,

Wlad throws a Wright;

Look at Shannon hold on with all his might!


The pressure's getting hotter,

His breathing's intense,

Looks like Shannon forgot his inhaler,

His corner's pitching the tent.


He may never be a champion

Or win his biggest fights

But when it comes to pulling wool over eyes

Shannon's got it down to rights.


NFLB...Nobody Flops Like Briggs.

U know uve been watching too much Winky Wright when you spell right as Wright...

[Leo Pradun]

Briggs has a big punch but when did he ever finish a top flight opponent he had hurt? Briggs had Lennox Lewis staggering all over the ring I think in the second round of their fight, but was unable to seal the deal. I'll agree with you that Briggs can polish off C level guys with ease but he has failed to impress me with anything more than raw potential at the top level. He can really swat, he has some heart, but his chin, defense, and especially his stamina are really lacking.

Briggs will not make it past Wlad's 1-2 combination. The jab will set up the most underrated right hand in boxing and then it's "down goes Briggs!". His punching power will never be a factor.

do u have the brigs lewis fight, I would really like to see it...

[Leo Pradun]

Briggs was 273 against Koval he was 1dimensional an was running out of steam before he caught Koval

his handspeed will be slown down if he comes in at 273

but if he comes in around 235 he has a good chance for aroun 5rounds the question is when he runs out of steam will Klitschko be tiring so this is a pick-em fight but Klitschko should be just favoured

235 are u kidding me, never...
