Shannon Briggs in 1973-1974 but trolling George Foreman

George would have knocked his head off

 

Yes, very.

 

It goes pretty smoothly if they're staged like all of his interactions with Wlad were.

 

I always liked him...boxing needed a class act like him. I liked his more menacing brother better though.

 

Wlad was very cool and dignified under the circumstances,...and came off as the radical opposite of the moron Briggs.

 

I don't think they were staged at all. If they were, we would have had a Briggs/Wlad fight somewhere down the line. It wouldn't exactly have been hard to pull off.

 

Wald look like he wanted to sht in his pants.

 

Briggs is from the hood and Foreman used to mug dudes, Briggs would know better than to try that silly stuff on him. He only thought he could get away with it against wladmir because wlad was more reserved and not quick to anger. Hes also European and not from the same kind of rough neighborhoods. Doing stuff like that could literally get u shot or beaten to a pulp in america even in well off neighborhoods.

 

Come on man, you know those interactions were staged. How on Earth would Briggs keep finding Vlad and getting close to him? Re-watch the scene in the restaurant where Briggs throws the water on Vlad and they almost come to blows. Those guys who grab Briggs clearly aren't really trying to restrain him, and wouldn't be able to anyway if they were.

Briggs comes off as a one-note loudmouth in those little performances, so I was surprised to see in an extended sit-down interview that he's actually an intelligent and cool-headed guy.
