No, he's clearly lower than 260....he said he was 248, and "below 250" on multiple occasions, and that's 3 weeks out from the fight.
Vitali is one of the GOAT and has too many dimensions for Briggs to deal with. Full out massacre and annihilation coming on Oct 16.
Briggs is the same age as Vitali, and Briggs has had his weight up and down, sometimes reaching bearlike weights, and size. Vitali is always in great condition, and never seems to even add any excess weight between fights. I can see Briggs becoming slower, but Vitali is still dominating everyone, and still is sharp and extremely dedicated to coming into each fight in peak condition. If anyone shows signs of being depleted, it'll be Briggs.
here is the thing Briggs is a flat footed stationary target and the Klitschko's eat guys like that for lunch. No doubt Briggs has power and decent hand speed for the first 2 rounds or so but after that he is a sitting duck. He was schooled by Ibragimov for christ sakes!
You can't be a stationary target, with no head movement, while throwing less than 10 punches a round against Vitali Klitschko. That is a good way to get sent to the floor. If Shannon Briggs doesn't understand this now, then he will after the fight is over. I think conditioning could play a huge part in this fight. VK is still one of the most well conditioned heavyweights even at 39 yrs old. He keeps up a high workrate even while moving laterally. He can set the pace for this fight to his advantage early on. Hopefully Briggs has truly put in the work in training hard and gives himself his best chance to make a fight of this one. The guy is very knowledgeable on the fight game and he always was talented. The sheer dedication seems to be the main obstacle for him. October 16 will be a display of fireworks. Two high KO ratios = explosive results.
yep exactly briggs isn't going to be moving anywhere he's going to be rooted to one spot . Vitali is going to have a field day hitting Briggs - a mid round TKO for Vitali.
That's not jogging! I was just about to comment how Briggs has some nice dance moves. I would break more of a sweat doing housework than moving at that pace! If that's down to Asthma, then he should not be fighting! Briggs is going to get hurt. When he talks at the end of the video, its the talk of a fool! Who's his PR man? Whoever it is, fix Shannon needs to fix up! Once he gets near Vitali, the realization of what he has coming to him will set in! He will then fold!
