Wilder is a Neo-Gladiator, meaning he chose to enslave his own body & become the master of himself. Olden times Gladiators fought for their own survival, Wilder is also fighting of survival but not for himself, he is fighting for the survival of humans as a specie, his success makes it difficult to press that button that makes all peasants disappear & introduce the robots who will hand the self aware minority what they need. As always the ill mannered peasant mobs fight the human fighting for their existence :-(
Wilder's team is a bunch of summer interns and former fastfood frycooks. It would be surprising if they did something smart!
Luckily for them The Rangy Bronze Bomber shock & awe capabilities covers their limitations. All the Long Legged Titan has to do is let his long range hyper twitch system showcase the unfair advantage he has over his physically inferior adversaries :smoke
Briggs is 44 years old! But he's in better shape than you think. He was 251 1/2 for his last fight As much as I'd like to see Briggs win this to eliminate a belt milker, Wilder has already shown us he's capable of dancing around with an inactive type.
Briggs lol! Maybe if he hadn't fought Molina and Duhaupas I could say well this fight might sell. You can't fight Briggs after you already had two soft touches (and that's being kind)
It will be interesting to see Shannon Briggs reclaim the Heavyweight Championship, it will confirm that an iron chin will take you far, very far. We can only Imagine how far Wlad would have went with an Iron Chin on the level of Shannon Briggs, Lennox Lewis would have been able to stop Wlad though, even with Shannon Briggs iron chin :think
Briggs is going to take any opportunity to make some money. I hope he dives very soon against Wilder. Briggs has taken enough enormously big shots to his head during his career already.
Briggs has too much pride to lose let alone by KO, the last time he was stopped. We were still getting our news from magazines & CBZ
