Vitali Klitschko-Shannon Briggs is signed, sealed and delivered for Oct. 16.

Briggs will quit. He has forgotten what it feels like to be hit by a big puncher. When Vitali starts knocking his pineapple head around from side to side, he will have flashbacks of his fight with Lewis and will quit on his stool somewhere around the 7th round.

 

Briggs will expose Vitali as the hypejob he is.
His best accomplishment was losing to a shot Lewis.

 

**** Viotali is a slave of his own situation and glory, everyone is afraid of him, what the **** this Neanderthal Valuev thought?

 

Really, I don't give a **** about Haye, and Vitaly comp is really really poor one.

 

Briggs can only fight for about 3 rounds and ****. He's been calling the Klits for some time and now that he got the chance, he better show something. Unless he catches Vitali with something early, which I doubt, he'll get stopped later in this fight. Too much muscle and not enough stamina.

 

Briggs is okay as an opponent, considering there isn't any other option. For Briggs the fight is a present, for Klitschko it is another test to determine how much is left for him. Physically, Klitschko is on the skids. So each fight could be the one too much and that's what brings some excitement to the fight.

 

Briggs could win this fight if he comes in the 250 range.

 

I am more curious how Vitaly will work his training camp. Will he overlap the start with the end of Wlad's camp in Austria or will Vitaly start preparation in a seperate location?

CHEF could be a very busy man...

 

if briggs doesnt get his weight to around 250! i wont watch that ****! then i know for me taht he is pleased only to get that money and thats it!
briggs move your ass! Win loose or draw! Look what shot monte barrett did!
he trained as hard as never before and got out on his shield!

 

Briggs will be lucky to survive the bum rush he will try and pull, if he fights intelligently he might pull a 'rocky' and survive 12 rounds.

 

Briggs is a superb physical specimen, and can box. Its just his heart and 'illness' that let him down. IMO if he was gonna achieve anything, he would of by now. Its been five years that the Kbros have run hw.

 

Briggs would be very dangerous for Wlad or Haye but not for ironchin Vitali

 

i agree! but we havent seen vitali get hit flush in a long time!
And certainly not from a puncher like briggs!

 

Briggs is a big puncher still. He is one of maybe 3 fighters in the division (actually in all of boxing) who has a punchers chance against Vitali

 

Well, it is an interesting matchup, imo.

If you read all the way down to the bottom of the ESPN article, you'll see that for US fans wanting to see the fight, it looks like some form of ESPN. Hopefully a real ESPN channel, and hopefully LIVE.

We shall see....
