I agree with the majority here...Briggs is definitely on something. He has a friggin beer gut with muscles.
Roll call, whos up... Amazingly my kids said they wanted to watch it so we've all stayed up till 3am and we're actually enjoying Afolabis fight atm.
Undercard has been ok, Ustinovs fight was a blow out and Ofalabis fight was entertaining. The twins fell asleep around rd.5 of the first but they tried. Looks like with the early finish of Ustinovs fight we're getting a couple of extra undercards bouts.
3 x wastes of time bouts done with in the last 10 minutes.... and what an arrival by Briggs....the guy's a WWE natural!
I'm guessing they're all earlier bouts being used as filler until the main events scheduled starting time.
All the people who gave **** to shannon i think you need to show respect. He has a HUGE Heart and a lot of Courage. I still can not beleave he took so many punches by a man with a 90% KO Rate. and He Proved us all Wrong, He went 12 rounds... And Didnt Go down once i got even more resect for Shannon Briggs Heart Of A Champion!
I turned the fight on at round seven. It might just be me but it looked like Shannon had a crink in his neck from where Vitali's right hand was constantly landing. Every time Vitali threw his over hand right it landed right on the button. Well done Shannon for taking such a sustained beating.
i caught it from round 6. the "fight" was stoppable from round 9 onwards. briggs is a tough ****. but he wasnt throwing, didnt look dangerous for any moment, and was mercilessly punched round the head. the fight should have been stopped for the good of the fighter, and boxing. boxing is an art, a sport, a science. we should protect fighters. MMA is setting a bad precident. we dont need that mindset in boxing.
No way stop the fight, Briggs kept standing and landed a lovely right hand in the 10th or 11th that rocked Vitali. Point is Briggs talked **** in the lead up and wanted to continue so serves himself right. Are we not forgetting it's for the world heavyweight title and not a normal fight at the RSL.
