Shannon Briggs : Another first round stoppage

Shannon Briggs vs Ike Ibeabuchi
#

 

Stick him in with Scott or Szpilka in a fight or two, or chase the WBA route...if Antubbio Tarver can get a shot, an 'in shape' Briggs certainly could.

 

:good

And if he dispatches Mireles in grand fashion like he did Smith, he should be right back in action early next month.

Get 3 of these lower level clubbies out the way and see how he fares vs Alonzo Butler or Andre Fedosov.....guys on his own level.:thumbsup

 

Shannon Briggs is the definition of musclebound. It looks like he is too stiff to throw a decent punch.......

 

it's a wonder he can still pass the basic medical tests to get a boxing license after Vitali beat the living **** out of him

 

Disgraceful "fight".

No, Briggs can't be a contender again.
He was hardly a contender in the first place.

 

With the standard of people getting title shots these days, you cant count it out...as sad as it is to say

 

If he wins next fight by 1st round KO, he will be:

Top 40 @ WBC
Top 90 @ Boxrec

:nod

 

agreed
hes fighting a 5 foot 10 inch mexican heavyweight
out of 17 wins, 10 or 11 of them have come against fighters with ZERO wins
the other handful of wins he has are against guys with losing records.
pathetic at best

 

Its a comeback fight :roll:

Pulev at #1 IBF taking Ivica Perkovic 20-24 (KO 15) is problematic :conf

 

Briggs would be better served just making a career fighting guys like this on the club circuit. I hear he made something like $25,000. He could fight once a month and make a really nice living for himself in Tampa for the next several years. It's not heavyweight champion money, but it's better than what happened to him against Vitali.

 

Thats not how it works...Otherwise everybody will be doing that...the comeback budget is used to motivate him to get back in shape for a big fight :boxer

 

Lots of boxers do exactly that. Yuri Foreman makes a couple hundred grand a year fighting in spots like BB Kings and Roseland. George Foreman and Larry Holmes did that for years while they worked their way back to taking a big fight. That's basically what James Toney does now, except he's less active.
