    I can't argue with that....interesting matchup.

    Vitali by KO/TKO Rd 9, imo.

    I don't think it goes that long. Briggs is going to come out guns blazing in the first couple of rounds it is his only chance. He can't fight Vitali like he did Ibragimov and Lykhovich he would get jabbed and right handed to death.

    Briggs is literally a 2 round fighter when he throws more than 15 punches a round. :deal

    The fight is kind of growing on me. Briggs is big, powerful, fast hands, has a reputation, and is a former titleist. Yes, he can only figth for two rounds, but maybe he will make something of those rounds.

    Who would you suggest he fight, like if you had the ability to make any fight happen who outside of I guess his brother (who is also under contract for another fight at the moment), would you suggest he fight?

    It's nice that these guys get a good payday at the age of 811 but I'm not looking forward to it in any way.

    While this fight sucks..... who is vitali going to fight?

    Valuev?.... no, turned it down
    Povetkin.... no, dont know wtf is up with him
    Haye?.... :lol:
    Adamek?.... seems not to be ready yet
    Arreola?.... already beat
    Peter?..... already beat
    Tua?.... just drew with Monte
    Solis?.... seems not to be ready


    theres not really a whole gang of options available for him....


    At least it will fun to see Briggs get beat up, Vitali in with a big dude, and maybe see Vitali hit with a bomb or two.... Vitali is old now so theres no garuntee his chin is the same as it used to be.

    This fight sucks though... yes. Id rather have this then Vitalis last fight though... or the one against the wannabe kingpin, as sad as it is this fight is more intreaguing then both of those. And like i said, theres not a whole lot to choose from at this point.

    In all fairness to Valuev, he does deserve a minimum of 8 figures.

    Why retire when he could continue making money? Who do you think he should fight? Haye, Valuev and Povietkin are not not interested. Maybe it'll be better than the Sosnowski fight?

    :patsch

    At least Adamek is tied up with Grant, a decent test fight.

    I'm thinking about betting on the punch count.

    This reminds me of Lewis-Vitali. If Briggs lands some bombs, this shite could get interesting.
