I believe he was injured. But does anybody believe it would make a difference in the fight? Besides Shannon of course.
Remember when they had that photo of Mike Tyson after the Williams fight? He was in a wheel chair with a massive cast. They made it look like he was in a some horrific farming accident.
Props to Briggs for even going ahead with the fight knowing that he needed to be in a full body cast.
Certainly Vitali beat him from pillar to post, but doesn't say much about Vitali if he couldn't finish off a cripple Cupey
