Not sure briggs will fair well in bare knuckle .

1. Hes ****ing old .

2. Even in his late prime he was not an active fighter, a 5 round fight will not benifit him the slightest . His punch output wont allow it to. Hes gonna have to load up on the epo to fight like an amateur ( pace wise ) at his age.


The one thing Briggs does have going for him is the fact that he hits like a mule whether hes 50 or not . I personally would not want to get hit by Briggs with no gloves and a taped wrist/ hand exposing the knuckles. But I wouldn't wanna get hit by any trained professional heavyweight in bare knuckle either lol . Briggs should retire and start coaching real fighters and keep training the youtubers . Briggs is a great personality and having someone like him on these kids youtube channels is not gonna be bad for the sport of boxing or for Briggs bank account in future endeavours.

Briggs would make a good commentator too hes well spoken and he knows the game .

Let's go champ!

If Ricco Rodriguez is dumb enough to get in there with the champ, he's getting slept. Briggs is old, but so is Ricco and he couldn't throw hands in his prime.

Wasn't Shannon the 'Cannon' Briggs king of the one-rounders? 37 KO's in the first round?! BROCK LESNAR! WHOEVER THE CHAMP IS OVER THERE, WHERE ARE YOU CHAMP?! NXT BKFC HW CHAMPION! LETS GO CHAMP!!!

At 48, this is a dangerous move.

The players at heavyweight right now

Joey Beltran (BKFC and Police Gazette world heavyweight champ, age 38):
3-1-1 in bare knuckle
18-15-0-1 in MMA

Ricco Rodriguez (former UFC champion, now 42)
1-0 in bare knuckle
1-1 in boxing
54-27-0-1 in MMA

Mark Godbeer (Ken Shamrock's Valor BK champ)
3-0 in bare knuckle
13-5 in MMA

Briggs would be favored against any of them, even at 48.

[observer]

They would just need to run around him for 4 rounds, wait for him to get exhausted trying to chase them, then punch him until he passes out
