Shannon briggs........tuneup in feb....

It wouldn't be boring though, watching someone get battered is always fun

 

My prediction: Briggs gets KTFO in 5 and then claims that if it wasn't for his asthma he would K.O. both Klits on the same night.

 

I've e-mailed Shannon Briggs a few times and told him he needs to get down to 255 to 260 pounds if he wants to be taken seriously..... That 267 to 272 was just TOO MUCH weight to carry....... Seeing is believing..... If Shannon can come in solid at 257 pounds, he'll be a force to deal with..... He still has quick hands and wicked power..... However, with added weight and age, his leg speed and movement has slowed to a crawl.... Still, if and when in the proper shape, he's dangerous....

Really? Didnt notice it.

I bet that Derreck was only passenger in that express.

 

Heard that before. Last year he was supposed to have a tuneup in February too, In New Mexico I believe, only to have Monte replacing him in the last minute. A few weeks after that came out the news that he was walking around at over 300lbs. The guy is clearly not serious about his career.

With Briggs, I only believe it when I see it.

By the way, Briggs and Tua, similar situations, both could still be competitive, but prefer to sit on their asses, time is running away fast in their careers.

They had every chance to get in shape, get a couple of worthy fights in 2008, sneak into the ABC top 10 and position themselves for a title shot in 2009.

 

tune up in february? ... I'm going to up my tuna just tomorrow!

 

Briggs has no stamina, no Chin, throws 10 punches a round, has asthma etc.

I don't ever want to waste my time watching this clown fight again. He is mediocre at best.


His performance against Ibragimov was a disgrace.

 

Wlad is obviously duckingi Rosie, as well.

Not heard anything from him about her.

He's scared sh*tless of Rosie, no doubt about it.

 

Exactly. Wlad knows Briggs has huge power and good handspeed, but the footwork of an elephant, so he'll just peck him with the jab 40 times a round and win a shutout decision or a corner stoppage a la Brewster II, but an exciting fight it won't be. No recent Briggs fight has been exciting.

 

Agreed. If he can get down to around 240 or 245, his stamina would increase greatly (although his chin would take a hit again). He's WAY too musclebound for someone with athsma. More muscles means you need more oxygen for those muscles, and if you can't breathe well, that means you'll tire out quickly.

 

He has a myspace page, he usually responds back to people questions, he answered me a few times. Just type in his name and ask him to be your friend.

 

Briggs actually comes across as quite a genuine nice guy. He talks **** for his fights, but he's smart and knows that he needs it for promotion. I like him as a commentator as well. But his latest fights were dreadful to watch.
