    Briggs is rough and tumble and would be dangerous for the first 6-7 rounds and I'm picking the Truth by decision but it's a tough fight for Carl

    Williams keeps those hands too low. And drops them when he throws and then brings them back low. Briggs will reach him. tko sometime during the second half of the fight. OR:


    There is also the chance Williams gets starched early in this and is a koby1 victim. He was not always sweated up early and he prefers a feeling out round. This particular opponent will not be agreeable to that kind of start.

    I’d narrowly favour Williams, but Briggs has a real puncher’s chance, especially since Briggs is explosive with the right, fast and powerful and Williams carries the left low and stands tall.

    I’d make it 55/45 in Williams’ favour.

    Didn’t Truth get dropped by Tillis? I think Briggs would take him out.

    I've got a feeling Carl is getting kod here.

    Truth would put trademarks around his eyes.

    If only Williams had a chin. Briggs only has to land one. I think he would.
