    Vitali never underestimates any of his opponents and that is what matters.

    No Vitali does not underestimate his opponents. He also steps up the fight against fighters that try to bring the fight to him. I think Vitali is getting underestimated (People thinking he is past it...fading..etc). I say the fight is over within 5, probably sooner with Briggs being KO'D. I know, everyone will say when was the last time Vitali did that. Lets discuss that after the fight. :)

    What is there to estimate other than him winging like an overcharged anabolic bull for three rounds then getting KTFO'd during the process or slightly after his minutes of glory?

    Vitali is one of the greatest Euro-level athletes of all time. And perhaps the greatest heavyweight of all time. I suggest YOU go away.

    exactly how I feel. Briggs is past his prime. He has blown out some fighters recently which he was much better than, but Klitchko will control him and stop him like he does all other guys. I would love for Briggs to win, but I cannot see it.

    Briggs, for the mediocre fighter he was/is, could not possibly be underestimated.
