    Briggs had as good a chance as anyone..... still he should have been stopped around mid fight. It was a brutal slaughter.

    ****......

    I just rewatched the fight..... autch.... Briggs got such a beating. His face and brain is broken to pieces and he is in the intensive care.

    So crazy to let him stay there. He should sue his corner.

    He's a boxer, you know, he took punches, wow.


    'His biceps is a very serious injury and they have to do surgery, and he'll probably be there for a week," Cohen said. "It might require more than one surgery."

    Cohen said rumors that Briggs, 38, had suffered a brain hemorrhage were not true and that he was resting at the hospital and had even joked around with him before he left Germany.

    "I wouldn't be here [in New York] if he wasn't OK," Cohen said. "He was in intensive care after the fight for precautionary reasons. The injuries are not life-threatening. He's just banged up, but it's not life-threatening or very serious. Other than the injuries I described, everything else is OK.

    Trust me, within the next 10 yrs, Ol' Briggs will need an aide to assist his shoelace tying and to have his shitty Pampers changed daily...

    Briggs was listed in critical condition yesterday. That is step above serious and general admission. Cohen should be ashamed of himself. A manager can stop a fight too. I think he's doing some damage control for himself.

    Vitali hit Briggs with countless flush right hands yet could not get him out of there, lets have no more talk of him being a monster puncher.
    A 38 year old Briggs had done nothing to warrant a title shot, he had the mobility of a wardrobe ,Briggs had nothing to offer but heart , all he showed was guts in absorbing a thrashing. A prime 26 year old Briggs was floored 3 times and stopped by Lennox Lewis.
    A onesided mismatch, which was predicted by anyone who has any idea of boxing.

    No, what is a fact is that Lewis beat his eye in and won the fight. They dont give moral victory belts to losers in boxing. Whats also a fact is that Lewis was coming on in the latter rounds and he would have continued to beat Vitali's brains to the white meat hahahaha

    Briggs corner should have stopped the fight somewhere around the 9th or 10 rounds. Briggs had too much courage for his own good. He took as brutal of a beating as you'll ever see. I don't know if Briggs fights again or not but fights like this aren't good for longevity.

    Klit was winning the fight with an horrific gash on his face from Lewis laces, Briggs lost every round....
