Comments Thread For: Shannon Briggs Plans To Box In April, Then Face Ricco Rodriguez In Bare Knuckle Fight

[TMLT87]

Ricco would have to be absolutely bat**** to entertain the idea of doing BKB with Briggs. Ricco is in his 40s himself and his pretty short MMA "prime" was in the early 2000s. He will get hurt bad.

Interesting, the BKB actually favors a heavy handed puncher like Briggs who also has no gas tank since the fights aren't really intended to go that long.

I don't even know who this Rico fella is, but, I'm excited to see the champ.

Rico was a decent heavyweight back in the late 90s early 2000s he was known for having one of the hardest leg kicks in fighting. He left a permenant dent in Randy cortures thigh. But he was on roids and wasnt that great of a fighter other than having hard leg kicks. I actually favor briggs big time in this Rico was never known for having good hands

Goddamn! Isn't Briggs like 60 years old? Why the fuck doesn't he retire already?

He's 48 and they're going to pay him more than he makes in a regular boxing match to fight a 42 year old former UFC champion who was primarily known for his grappling and leg kicks in a bare knuckle fight.

Briggs could legitimately be the Bare Knuckle world heavyweight champion. The current champion is Joey Beltran, an MMA fighter with an 18-15-0-1 career record and a 3-1-1 bare knuckle record. He's 38 and, again, he's primarily a wrestler and jiu-jitsu guy.

They should let Briggs be Wilder’s comeback opponent after Fury bullies him in July.

Oh ****, you're right. I do know this guy. I just forgot about him.

If he wins i hope he calls out wladimir

[robbyheartbaby]

Wow Briggs is back, this is nuts bring it on!

Brain damage is no joke...

Just retire man, you don’t need this.

I agree. I don't know anything about this guy he's supposed to fight in MMA but Briggs could end up taking a dirt nap if he keeps believing his own hype.
Stay as a boxing mascot Shannon, your fighting days are numbered.

It amazes me that people really use a retired, career-long feather-fisted guy like Malignaggi as a measuring stick for what boxers can do in BKB. As much as I don't agree with him jumping into BKB, if Briggs hits anybody there with a clean shot, they're toast.

You have to remember that Briggs is slow as hell and would gas quick if the fight goes past 1-2 rounds. At this point, every time Briggs gets into a ring there's a good chance he's getting knocked out.

I find his antics entertaining, I just gotta call it like I see it.
