    Tate was the better fighter, imo. The problem is, Briggs had a really good shot, certainly he could knock Tate as hard as Berbick did (not sure about that terrifying hook Weaver landed at the end).

    Tate UD, but Briggs had the power to ko him.

    Tate should really win,, but can we rule out Shannon launching a desperate, behind on the cards shot.
