    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

    I think he was more frustrated knowing it was a close fight which could have gone either way.

    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.
