Briggs Knocks out Liakhovich Video---

Brock will not rise to the occassion against Terry Smith and Zuri Lawrence, he'll bring his A game to the Garden.

I am so awaiting, its gonna be my first Wlad fight live.
I will try to take a laptop with me to express my feelings onto this forum.

Agreed, it was more Rahman-Maskaev II than Rahman-Maskaev I.

What I also think like about Brock is that he knows his limitations and probably knows how to make a right fight plan.
He is one of the hard working men of pugilism.

Not the most talented, but he works very hard. He's going to fight a smart fight and do what he needs to do. The question remains whether it will be enough though.

That's a good point you just made. Usually the "jack of all trade" types can be relied upon to come up with a sound gameplan and follow it through. The reason for this is they have to do so just to survive with larger and more talented men. I am rooting for wlad obviously, but Brock seems like a nice guy who would be a good champion to represent American.

I just don't see Brock unifying the titles and then defending the big title as a dominant champion, and would rather see Wlad bring the belts together. More than anything in boxing, I want to see a unified heavyweight champion. It would help boxing more than most realize.

yeah it really pained me to see how soft sergei looked physically, obviously that is not how conditioning is determined but i cant understand how i can have a better physique tham a guy who works out constantly and probably eats healthy. i work out once or twice a week but i dont run cept to play basketball and physically i "look" in better shape..

i had a couple friends over for the fight who didnt know anything about either fighter.....

they referred to him as "***** ****" for the entirety of the fight...

my brother said it best as the fight ended

"***** **** just fell out of the bra"

No doubt he was tired but that’s not what caused him to go down or fall out the ring. He was hurt by Briggs' punches.

[Leo Pradun]

Klitschko will beat Briggs...

I agree, and it doesn't matter anyways. If a fighter cannot intelligently defend himself due to any circumstance, the fight should be stopped regardless of his champion status or the time left in the round. It's not the ref's job to decide how close the fight is or how much time is left. His job is to protect the fighters in between the bells.

I wanted it called after the first knockdown. The ref did a piss-poor job of checking to see that Sergei was coherent. After the next right hand that nearly decapitated him, it should have been stopped again.

But apparently we're so hard up for some drama in the heavyweight division that we're willing to risk a fighter's health for a bit of excitement.
