Fights that I don't know if I've ever even heard mentions in Classic. Which is a shame because considering they're the LHW Gatti/Ward of the past 10 years. Just great fights, Briggs showing an absolute iron chin and massive heart, takes 3 to land one all night long. And land he does, much cleaner then Adamek. But, Adamek is much more active and lands more shots period. Adamek is rocked 2-3 times throughout the fight, Briggs is never stunned over the course of the first fight. Briggs comes on strong at the end, sadly he catches up to Adamek too late. I had the first fight close but clear for Adamek, something like 3-4 rounds. Both fights were extremely close, both ending in majority draws. Has anyone here seen them?
Definitely two of my favourite fights of the last decade...I watched the first one only a few weeks ago but I havent seen the 2nd in a while. Great see saw action and both guys were busted up at the end of both fights. I remember the next half a dozen or more high profile fights that happened at the weight were very disapointing and everyone was reflecting on this fight and remembering how a real fight is supposed to look like. Briggs left it all in the ring for those fights and paid for it, pretty much ending his career with those wars ..What a fighter Adamek has went on to become aswell.
