Liakovich got very lazy and just stood on the ropes absorbing punishment. He caused his own loss. Briggs will lose his soon maybe in his first title defense thats how garbage he was tonight.
Briggs knocked him down with like 20 seconds left and lyakhovich got up hurt badly when briggs knocked him out of the ring with 1 second left in the round. He didnt make the count. Counted as Briggs tko
Yea that was pretty crazy. Brigg's looked gased from round 2 on. I think he was having breathing problems, that's what it looked like to me.
I'd forgotten about the asthma, thanks for reminding me. I was freaking out when he looked tired after that 1st round cuz I'd forgotten the asthma and just assumed he was in piss poor shape (though his build was incredible)
I remember Shaun Alexander saying in an interview that he trained with a breathing coach for a couple months and it helped him a lot. Maybe Briggs can go the same route? He has great power when he uses it. He had Sergei hurt so may times, but could not follow up. He looks like he takes short breaths.
The result pissed me off. A lot of complete noobs to boxing (not you Welter) picked Briggs because of his physique and reputation for knocking out C level fighters alone and now this will fuel their fire even more. Where is the guy with Briggs in his signature? I believe it says something about Briggs being a "great" fighter. Well that guy must be smiling tonight.
