Briggs will look back at this fight & kick himself for fighting Kirby's fight. Trying to out muscle Kirby on the inside is playing to his strengths. The man is one tough bugger with a chin of iron. Briggs hit him with some awesome shots but to no effect. At the end of the day Briggs' chin failed him again but he has improved out of site since Paul's been training him. If he boxed he would of won I believe.
I agree....but I only saw up to round 6.....Paul was saying stick and move....stick and move....Nathan failed to do that much at all.
One person cums to mine who can fight kirbys style + stand toe 2 toe + bang with him = Alex Leapai I reckon alex should go & get his belt back.
watching a replay now he won easily.Phil stopped it in the 3rdround.but maybe he should have stopped it earlier.maybe ryan kopick insulted him in the past or something .
There was a couple of times in the second I was about to stop it but Ryan would fire back at just the right time to save himself
Good job in the Briggs/Kirby fight Phil. Was a bit of a slug out, but it went smoothly for the most part. Nice work mate.
Who's next for IRON MIKE KIRBY the iron rhino was calling out any one in australia what about DEMORI or COL WILSON.
No, Nath actually copped a huge amount of punishment from kirby throughout the fight. It was actually a credit to Briggs' chin however it eventually wore him out.
I wouldnt read too much into him goiving the guys a spray - I think he was frustrated the everyone wrote him off. I suggest he was using the commentary team to relay his thoughts not so much as that it was something they had said. He is passionate and just won a MASSIVE title. Let him off this time I reckon...
