I threw a big party for the judges in the Ward/Kovalev fight and we screened Vitaly/Briggs and they had it a draw.
From what Chef said, Vitali was frustrated and asking his team why he couldn't put Briggs down. Briggs stayed up, to his credit, but sure took one hell of a lot of punishment in that fight
he wasnt robbed, he was gifted a title loss. At his age unless they were massively prolific previously, noone had any business getting a title shot. He was lucky with what he got.
That is how a real man blocks punches. Forget slipping and paring punches. Just use your face like a true warrior.
Feel kinda sorry for Briggs. That was a hell of a brave performance and after hospital, managers etc were paid I think he had enough money left over to buy an ice cream.
