    Briggs is taking this fight very serious, He is under 250 for the first time since 2000-01, His paying $10. I might just put $50 on him.

    He has the power, and if he gets down to the 240lb mark he may even have some speed.

    Not a bad bet considering they are both the same age (Vitali a few months older), Yes Vitali is more skilled but his not young either and if he is hit with a flush punch from Shannon his body will act his age.

    here is a vid of Shannon preparing for the fight.

    He'll get outboxed..... Of course he's always a punchers chance of the win. $10 is about the right price.

    Don't like to rain on your parade Rooster, but I agree with Ippy.

    Klit fights don't excite me in the least - but geez they're effective units.

    i agree, But i was not impressed with Vitali's last win, Shannon hasn't really shown us what he can do in his comeback yet...Maybe he will be saving it for one big fight....THIS ONE, He has lost alot of weight and looks in good shape.

    i will be cheering for him, But i think he needs to stop Vitali early.

    You think the four rounds that Briggs has fought since 2007 against nobodies will hold him in good stead then?

    I'll guess that Vitali gets him out of there in 4-5 rounds

    Tend to agree.
    Briggs will get his ass handed to him.

    Wow Briggs is in great shape.....he's now in with a punchers chance provided he fights his own fight and not from a distance at the end of that Klit jab

    Trouble is nobody seems capable of getting anywhere near the Klits early. Particularly Wlad, but also Vitali.

    Makes you think the best approach would be just to brawl them from the first bell, and force your way inside. But that of course comes with its dangers too.

    Thats the only way to fight Vitali....more danger trying to box him from a distance than fighting him on the inside.

    Fighters need to stop respecting the Klits and brawl them...problem you got with that is they tie you up quite well on the insdie and are great at making the fight at their own distance

    I think David Tua could just be that man, but his so short for a heavy, im not sure if he could reach either of the Klit brothers chins!!

    Tua v a Klit is certainly an interesting one - but height & reach are certainly the issue.

    Tua could always land his big left hook to Wlad's hip and follow it with a right uppercut to the crown jewels.

    I think he's the guy as well...Tyson style of hooking from the lower position unsing the legs as the power base...he can reach the chins of the Klits no problem and wont mind taking the jabs on top of the head moving into range
