Shannon Briggs looking EXTREMELY impressive in a public workout

Well he isn't teeing off on the referee, is he? ::

Briggs is getting the shit kicked out of him.

MTF

 

The referee should be stopping this. Briggs is taking a hellacious beating...

MTF :shit:

 

:shadow: I was just kidding you, O Streamed One.

I was reading the comments here to amuse myself, and it is worth pointing out that Briggs is a good 40lbs heavier than when he fought Lewis, so maybe Vitali isn't as non-concussive as first appears. He is trying to push a much heavier guy around. Also a braver and more mature guy. I still think he {V} hits hard.

Fight should be stopped.:dunno::dunno:

 

Damn Round 10 was brutal, Briggs' corner should have thrown in the towel.

 

If Vitali has concussive power, this fight would have been over six rounds ago. Vitali has landed, at least, FIFTY flush right hands on Brigg's chin and hasn't even had him over.

MTF

 

Briggs has guts

 

Agreed. He has shown amazing courage in still being around to see the last round. The guy has been hit with everything, all fight long.

MTF

 

which is more than can be said for you. unless you were able to clone yourself.

 

Briggs had no idea where he was the last two minutes. His stare was totally empty.

 

Briggs is on gear. He has to be. There must be some sort of neurological benefit that stems from this shit.

Also...I fuck Veetle where they stand. I fuck Veetle in the rectum, all night, every night.

 

Well, Vitali won every second of every round as expected. All credit to Shannon, who deserved to hear the final bell after taking a fucking horrific beating. That said, surely there are some viable heavyweight challengers out there? I know the division is a dead zone but Briggs, Chisora and Harrison, the latest three 'challengers' to the title-holders, can't possibly be the best there is out there.

There has to be better than this. I mean, Vitali got hit ONCE in the entire fight and almost died of shock at someone having the temerity to actually hit him. It's not good for the sport or even for the Klit's themselves that they have gone years and years without any kind of viable challenge.

From the small bit I have gathered, the fight should have been stopped. Remember Lewis never stopped him either, Briggs threw a left, missed and fell over and they stopped it. He must have a helluva jaw, but that was a brave corner if ever I saw one. Telling him to "back this bitch up" when the guy was copping a life-changing beating. Morons. They reminded me of Pavliks corner vs Hopkins, as they seemed more concerned with beating Hopkins people than protecting their own fighter from harm.

 

Yes there are some challengers left, unfortunately they are all scared. Solis is not, and we´ll see that fight next year for sure.

 

Yeah, it reminds me of when Benn hit McClellan back and McCellan nearly stopped to post a complaint. That said Vitali is also well past his best now, I think off the basis of the last 3 fights, 2 of which have gone the distance, that he is getting by on nous and strength.

 

:laughing:

Yup, the fuckers cracked me up too...

Just watched it. Brutal viewing --- & I'm not talking about the beating Klitschko dished out. It was almost as one-sided as it was mediocre.

Irish, are you really sure you maintain the position this guy would've beaten Joe Louis?

 

"Everything" ain't what it used to be in the Heavyweight division. How on Earth Klitschko has never been coached out of his arm-punching all these years is, truly, beyond my understanding.

 

I think it is fair to say that Lewis probably did have the bigger single right hand, but Vitali is now 39, whereas Lewis was a much younger buck when he fought Briggs, who was also a much younger guy and much much lighter.

Ranulph Fiennes, the Polar Explorer, will not go on trips with men under the age of 35 as he believes they lack the mental strength of older, less physically inclined men.

Basically, you had a Vitali that was never as fluid as Lewis against a Briggs who had declined a little in terms of offense {mainly through his build and weight} but improved a bit in terms of his strength and toughness {again, related to the passage of time and his new physique and some gear}

Needless to say the morons will be out in force with "Vitali has no right". Oddly enough, the expression on Briggs face at the end was pretty much like it was when Lewis was hitting him. And he fought far more conservatively tonight than he did then.

Eitherways, his career is now at an end. And Vitali is not far behind him. A la Hatton, he seems to not be able, or bothered, to sustain his attacks for long enough periods, or agile enough to get off the shots like he used to. That said, it is going to take someone with the build and chin of Briggs, along with some real talent and speed, to beat him, and there is nobody out there right now.

 

Don't be silly. He never wanted to be coached out of it. That's why he is with Sdunek still. His style is unique. He is so big that he is going to KO you anyways. If he doesn't...so what. He'll just throw 1000 arm punches and wear you down to the nub. It's a style thing.....his attitude is that it ain't broken, so he ain't fixing it.

 

Why? Was Joe Louis 265lbs and 6'4" of hormonally induced handspeed and balls?

If Vitali ever ever get's to teeing off on Louis, whose feet were marginally faster than those of Briggs then, yeah, I see little Joey taking a nap somewhere in row Z before too long.

 

To each, his own. It doesn't get less convincing than this morning (local time), though.

 

Perhaps because it has, truly, been working for him pretty well. Why didn't anybody teach Muhammad Ali to throw a body shot?

For the hundredth time, there is no one correct boxing technique as it was thought in the 50s. What wins you fights is good.

 

Solis doesn't have the size. What kept Briggs alive tonight was the mass. 265lbs of mass with maybe 10% body fat and a whole lot of effort and trying. It was the same with Danny Williams. The Vitali that finished Williams would have stopped Briggs. Vitali doesn't have the fluency any more but Solis is a small fat bastard.

 

As I said, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. If your arm punches are perforating the other guys eardrums, breaking his skin and slowly causing him to collapse into a shell of self-doubt, why change it.

It makes me laugh to think that people watched a guy that wasn't stopped by George Foreman, and wasn't really KO'd by Lewis either, get brutally beaten into the Emergency Room of the nearest hospital and then think some 6' 196lb runt from the 1930's is just going to wade on in there and do a whole lot better.

Fuck it, Vitali threw a tonne of sharp, accurate jabs too.

 

Ask Briggs how convinced he feels. In fact, ask him if he can feel anything, and if he can, slowly work around to the "feeling convinced" bit. I'd be surprised if he doesn't summon what's left of his reserves to slap you around the ER for wasting his time.

 

Yes but he´s a small fat bastard with skills and power, but he has also shown to be completely useless against tall fighters throughout his career.

 

To beat Klitschko you need to match him for both size and skills. A la Lewis. If you can't do that he is so good at imposing either his size or his underrated skills that you are already in trouble.

Solis is small and his amateur career really isn't a whole load better than Vitali's.

Vitali beats him. Germany has made Solis soft, I'm afraid. Of course, we will have the usual suspects in here telling us that Cuban Heavyweights are not what they used to be either....:boohoo::boohoo:

 

WTF???

 

What ??? They used to date you didn't hear ?

 

Yes, but I heard Vitali "broke it off" or something.
