why briggs is unlikely to stop wlad

[beez721]

the only way briggs wins this fight is by early knockout ( 4 rounds or less). wlad has been stopped on 3 occasions but the only guy to stop wlad early was sanders. does this mean briggs has a very good shot at stopping wlad? NO!! why? because sanders is an awckward sharp shooting southpaw that uses his stance to his full advantage and sets traps. he catches you walking into his left hand which he did with wlad and most of his other 24 first round knockout victims( yes wlad was tko by 2 but was basically out on his feet since the first knockdown in the 1st). briggs has power but its coming from the conventional stance and doesnt have that sneaky type power that sanders has. plus briggs isnt as accurate a puncher as sanders is and hasnt ever stopped a top 15 heavyweight. I give briggs a 1 in 4 or 5 chance of stopping wlad. my prediction is he gets caught walking into a a perfectly timed straight right hand as he aggresively tries to knock wlad out in rounds 2 or 3. this fight will resemble the derrick jefferson fight imo. we'll see,,,should be a good one while it lasts

actually wald was Winning agianst Purrity but quit because he had no energy, so he has been stopped twice

actually his corner stopped the fight. he was too exhausted to continue. but it still goes down as a tko stoppage loss

first of all he said 3 times, which is true

you say hes been stopped twice, which is wrong

as walter solchuck would say "youre out of your element"

wlad has been stopped by sanders, purrity and brewster

the original poster said hed only been stopped "early" once, by sanders, which is true also, the other two came later in the fight

I dunno, Briggs looked pretty bad against McCline..and got knocked down. I know Klitcho(sp) isnt the best but I feel he is a few levels above Briggs. He might very well stop him.

Briggs got up from 5 huge knockdowns by Lewis (well, the last one was more of a slip), so we'll see if Wlad can do better against this much older Briggs. Keep in mind, Lewis fought Briggs almost TEN YEARS AGO.

and lets also keep in mind lewis was nearly knocked out in the 1st round of their fight and took 5 rounds to stop him
