i think theyre trying to make briggs overconfident, nothing more. briggs loves to hear his own name and manny steward is no dumb ass.
he may be hyping the fight up a little bit but its not all that necessary
briggs is the opponent because of where the fight was predestined to be (New York City) if this date were set at the thomas and mack center they probably wouldnt be fighting. as a result of briggs bein the hometown boy, fighting at the garden, against a "russian" champ, i dont think they have a hard time selling tickets.
As much as i'd love to see Briggs KO Klit, i don't think he's got much chance.
i dont even think briggs is going to be able to get past wlads jab. i expect wlad to just beat the living **** out of briggs with the jab as long as the fight goes on. i can see him landing 25 jabs in the first round and briggs going to his corner bleeding and swollen. briggs is just way too easy to hit, and wlads jab backs anyone and everyone up. briggs will never have the chance to get inside in this fight.
i expect briggs to come out rushing like a mad bull... briggs is notorious for fast starts and even faster slow downs, cause he gets tired so easy... especially if wlad can pop him one good time early...
i'll say it again, briggs isnt deserving of a title shot(most arent these days)but he is dangerous... and for as often as wlad gets criticized for his weak chin, he is fighting some big hitters(peter, briggs, brewster, sanders)...
i expect briggs to come out rushing like a mad bull... ..
...... and meet a perfectly timed straight right hand in the center of the ring, briggs is down and hes not going to get up
!!!!! Briggs is knocked out by the first punch of the fight!!!!!
