where was kevin johnsons props for lasting 12 rounds?

Vitali vs Johnson did remind me of Pacquiao vs Clottey. Both Clottey and Johnson fought scared big time.

 

Johnson didn't even try to fight... he gets no props. At least Briggs went in there and did what he does... and on top of that, before this fight Briggs heart was kinda suspect. After taking that kind of sustained beating and not quitting outright he definitely gets his due.

 

:good
Briggs stayed on his feet and faced the fire the entire fight, but to be truthful, the fight could reasonably have been stopped.:good

So him going a full 12 does not necessarily mean he earned/put up the defense well enough for it to last 12.

It should have been stopped in the ninth.

 

Briggs never hit the canvas, and was badly hurt once. Lucky for him the round was just about over. Briggs was coherent, and never looked like he wanted to quit. Often times talking to Vitali during the rounds.

A would of never complained had the ref stopped the fight, but to say Briggs shouldnt get credit for lasting all 12th rounds is laughable. The man took Vitali's best punches and went nowhere, how many heavyweight oppenents of Vitali's could say that?

 

Kevin Johnson, did not try to fight. he acted like a silly ***** after the fight. so he survived by not fighting and he should get props. he is a silly *****. take up a collection and get him a transexual operation. then you two can date.

 

Shannon actually tried to win, ****ing Queenpin not!! After dragqueen got her ass schooled, he claimed he owned Vitali, while Briggs stayed humble and admit defeat!!

Briggs showed true heart and sportmanship while Queenie made an ass out of himself and fought like he was ****ing scared. He and Dirrell must be friends??

 

Oh yeah that really the plan of someone thats coming to win. Pray to land a big punch and hope for the best.:roll:

 

:huh

 

Yes yes because getting the **** beat outta you by Lennox Lewis and getting up off the floor three times and still throwing punches really put his heart into question.atsch

Briggs' heart has never been in question. His will to win has and still is.

 

Has any of the Klit fans said Briggs would be a top 10 HW in any other era like they said about Ibragimov, Chagaev and Arreola?

 

Johnson sucked. He cant punch for ****, he has noooo offence what so ever all he has is a good jab and defence. His plan I'm sure was to make VK miss until he died of exhaustion.

Briggs has a great offencive arsenal and big power....... But he didnt throw any punches.

So he really tried to win more???\

And yes I know how dumb that sounds but still Briggs wasnt no Brian Minto vs Arreola in there he just tried to stay on his feet the whole way. If he had the defence that Johnson had bet your ass he wouldve fought the same way.

 

You're right

 

So you saying to get the **** beat out of you for all 12th round is not trying? :huh Are you trying to say you agree with relentless?

 

They were both there to last the distance..... except one had a great defence and the other didnt.

Neither guy tried to win.
