  1. Very confused as to

    how a Shot past prime B- Fighter like Shannon Briggs could have lasted 12 rounds against the over whelming ATG P4p Punching powers of Vitali Klithscko?

    Does Peds make your chin stronger or something? I mean that is the only explanation why

    0:28 is when Lewis goes berserk cuz Brigg's hit him once. He got mad :O

    Lewis was able to knock down a PRIME Shannon Briggs like 4 times in 5 rounds.


    But Vitali can't do it to an old ass past prime shot to **** Shannon Briggs,


    It's weird. I say Peds

    Your threads are keep getting weaker. I enjoyed them at first, but now they're just annoying.

    To answer your question, Briggs told his corner and the ref Not to stop the fight under any circumstances, he knew this was the end of the line for him so he wanted every chance he had to try to win, also vitali is not a power puncher at all, Wlad is, but vitali tends to wear down his opponents with perpetual beating forcing a corner or ref tko stoppage. Granted briggs was pasted it, but so was vitali. He@ not what he was back in The day either.

    Ok I'm gonna go kill myself cause I'm horribly depressed, can't sleep, can't stay awake, don't cry for me, I'm already dead...

    PEDs can cause the flatbones of the head -- such as the forehead and side of the jaw -- to grow, sometimes even to gigantic proportions. In addition, PED's cause muscle tissue around the skull to harden and thicken. This includes the muscle tissue at the top of the jaw, just beheath the the temples. These physical changes can make a guy more resistant to punches.

    Obviously, Briggs has experienced everything I describe above. That's clear from the photos. So, it may indeed be true that PEDs have increased Briggs's durability.

    No PEDS do nothing for the chin. Ask Tommy Morrison.
    Vitali doesn't hit nearly as hard as Lewis and never has. Lennox Lewis has sharp snapping concussive shots and Vitali has slow clubbing arm punches. Vitali never has early KO's because he has to beat a guy down for a long time to stop them. That being said,Vitali is psychically very strong but his style is such that he has to beat the guys down that's all.

    Briggs had a far thicker neck and traps in the Vitali fight than he did earlier in his career. Better shock absorbers I guess.
