    Are you joking or being serious because if it's the latter then you're ****ing bat **** insane. Sorry if that sounds rude but you claim Vitali has a glass chin when even the majority of his haters will admit that chin is made of iron.

    I'm actually very interested by this fight. The only fighter I've seen really beat Briggs up is Lewis, I'd give Vitali credit if he can stop the big man

    Briggs is better at boxing, Ibrahimovic is better at football

    Mercy stoppage, either the ref or the corner is gonna pull the plug after the ninth round.

    vitali doesnt knock people cold......you would think with his size and power he would....
    in the last 10 years he has 2 stoppages before 3 rounds....

    most all his fights go mid to late rounds with a beat u up affect. but then again briggs is fat, an old 38, so who knows :huh

    :lol::lol: GLASS CHIN OF VITALI :lol::patsch like the chin he displayed when Lewis caught him with the upper cut that would take most people's heads off. yeah i can sure see that.

    Do not mean to hijack the thread but I did not want to start a seperate topic.

    What is the U.S. TV situation with this fight? ESPN3 or Klitschko's website, any infomation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Lewis made Briggs look like a contender after getting rocked and doing the stanky-leg back to his corner. I'm a fan of Lennox, but he's damn lucky Briggs gassed in that fight.

    Yep, Lewis was VERY lucky, because Briggs almost had him out of there.

    So I guess we can agree if it wasn't for Briggs' asthma he would be top 3 heavyweights of all time?

    Good points there. I also think a Vitali win will either be a late stoppage (TKO) or UD. Kevin Johnson took him 12 and Sosnowski took him 10 rounds.

    Arreola was ready to go in 2 rounds against a horrible finisher in Travis Walker, whereas Vitali took 11 rounds to stop him while scoring zero knockdowns.

    Vitali doesn't KO guys cold these days. He just beats them the **** up. :ko

    Can Shannon Briggs avoid the sustained beatdown that Vitali is coming to dish out? We'll see.
