    Briscoe gets thrashed. God I love Tiger. I nearly wrote, "i love Dick there". Could have been unfortunate.

    I don't think Bennie could fight without pressing forward; in every fight I've seen of his he is always on the front foot, including against bangers like Eugene Hart and Rodrigo Valdez. It's that kind of one dimensional predictability that cost him against Valdez (who was more content with letting Briscoe come to him rather than trying to deter him from coming forward) and it would cost him here as well. The difference between this and the Valdez fight is that Tiger would not allow Briscoe that forward momentum which made him so dangerous. Tiger has handled plenty of rugged guys in the same mold as Bennie before, so I doubt this fight would be any different. Briscoe would be walking right into a meat grinder in this fight and although it would be interesting for a few rounds, Tiger’s explosive combinations and rough inside work would have the slower and more methodical Briscoe in bad shape by the later rounds. Assuming this is 15 rounds, Tiger by late stoppage.
