    Vitali busted Briggs cheek, made him cry and sent him to hospital. Wlad would KO Briggs early.

    Actually doesn't. Briggs wore flip-flops. Not a smart choice for footwear in a staged violent altercation if they planned to douse water over Briggs head.

    Whats Briggs doing randomly seating in same restaurant and table as Wlad? Also why didn't he throw a punch after Wlad poured water on his hair rather than flapping about and doing the old "Hold me back" routine?

    He wasn't randomly seated there. He deliberately walked up and sat down. It's also hard to deck someone while you're both sitting at a table without getting up first.

    I don't know if it's staged or not. I know Vitali and Shannon were friends at one point so maybe Wlad is doing him a solid by getting him some attention (if you look at Shannon's recent fights the guy probably can't pay his bills, maybe this attention will get him a fight with leapai or some other 2nd rate HW).

    However, there's also nothing unbelievable about crazy old shannon finding out Wlad would be somewhere and making a scene until someone turns their camera phone on. He has always been a rather odd guy.

    Wlad's camp is on to Austria now...will Briggs follow? I sure hope not.
    But I wouldn't be surprised to see Briggs back at the weigh-in come fight week.

    Pulev is highly ranked and David Haye's last fight sold out a football stadium. You may hate Haye but he is a draw. Upton Park, the MEN etc. he sold these places out against the likes of Ruiz, Audley and Chisora.

    David Haye's last fight, the one 2 years ago?? :lol: He's been exposed as nothing more than a domestic level con man.

    Pulev can't even get the full support of his own promoter and has basically NO fan base and limited skills

    Haye has his issues, but he's well above "domestic" level.

    And to say Pulev is "limited" skills is lame for a top ranked HW. You can say any ATG has/had "limited" skills is a few areas is you want to be overly critical.

    Are you one of those that think the top HWs were from the 70s, 80s, to mid 90s? :lol: If so that will explain your bs post.

    How does Briggs know where Wlad is having lunch? Either he is paying for a great spy or it's a set up!!

    Pulev got his "top rating" off the backs of Dimitrenko, Ustinov and and OLD Thompson, not exactly a grueling climb to the top is it really? His skills ARE quite limited. He has a good jab, that's it. His defense is poor, he has little right hand power, I could go on easily.
