    vit klit v shannon briggs is a bad joke.briggs has done zilch to deserve a crack at a 'world'title,much the same as 'a-farce.' if it weren't for his recognisable golden dreadlocks,they'd never have been able to sell this fight to a gullible public.it's shitty,world authority sanctioned fights like these that make boxing the red light district of sports.other than a freak shot out of the blue,briggs will be lucky to hear the bell for the 6th round.same goes for harrison.

    I agree with most in thinking brings has no chance but I think he is coming to win. Apparently he is training extremely hard and I applaud him for that. Will be a tougher fight for vitali than arreola was

    does briggs deserve it? no
    does briggs always bring his all? yes

    he's got **** stamina and so some of his fights stink but he's always there, always dangerous and always takes his shot against the best. lewis, foreman, two titles (sergei and iggy) and now vitali.

    he may not always win (usually doesn't against the elite) but **** haye, at least briggs is going for it

    briggs ain't no *** and i ain't dissing him on a personal level.but he knows he's there for one last payday,so of course he's bigging up his chances of a victory.if he didn't,he would probably be in breach of contract!he's been around long enough yo know how to market a fight...

    I doubt Briggs would have even sparred if he was in it for a payday you have to atleast give him credit for looking good coming into this fight.

    I don't think Briggs is just in it for the money. Briggs is in shape...if it was only for the money, he wouldn't have gotten himself in the shape that he is.

    Is Briggs even making that much? Klitschko opponents aren't exactly pulling in millions due to the fact that the brothers can fill out a German stadium against anyone. And I mean anyone. Klitschko vs TBA sells out no problem, and they already have their tv deal in place.

    Briggs could could go on a tour fighting scrubs and he wouldn't have to train so hard, or risk getting punched too much and probably make more money then this one fight. But...the upside of winning means huge money.

    Briggs hits extremely hard, and neither Klit can take a big punch, we've all seen the evidence of this. Shannon has a real chance on Saturday night and anything could happen in the first 4-6 rounds of this fight, VITLAY could get KO'd or quit or even stopped on cuts and get declared the winner of the event as Shannon parades the belt.

    Should be interesting but I wouldn't pay good money to see it. If Briggs beats VITLAY and faces glass WALDO next then yeah I'd pay to see it.

    That hot woman Shannon's got seems to be very high maintenance.
