Thread: Shannon Briggs vs. Mike Perez

After Perez's last two outings he would make a good stepping stone for Briggs IMO.

It could also turn into a terribly slow paced boring fight where no clear victor emerges...

I think Briggs has enough left to beat Perez and earn his way back into contention a bit.

Briggs doesn't deserve a Klitschko shot yet and needs maybe two more wins against top 10 ranked fighters. Perez would be a good start.

I see no way it would be a very good fight.. Either Perez could actually get himself into shape and throw enough to put Briggs in a shell and win, or we'd see a complete stinker with neither man doing much of anything. Perez is very tough and has good instincts, I don't think BRiggs would have much of a chance to score a KO without actually working for it, and when is the last time he did that.

Fair enough but I think Briggs could hurt Perez and intimidate him into not throwing much back a la the Takam fight.

2 of my favs.

I'd love to say Perez, but I believe Briggs knocks him the fuck out.

Early!

Sure Perez has a chin but he has nowhere near the power to effect Briggs in the least and Jennings walked him back a few times and jennings looks half of Briggs size and quarter of his power.

If the Perez that fought against Jennings the last time comes out against Briggs, Briggs will stop him mid to late- would probably quit on the stool or simply refuse to answer the 10 count.

Perez is so disappointing. He starts off strong then tails off at the end. For a smaller sized hw like him with not the best power, he has to at least be able to keep the pace up for the whole 12 rounds

Briggs-Perez would be fun. I can see Perez doing good early then letting Briggs come back and steal a close decision.

Perez beats Briggs

All this Briggs stuff is entering near smoker talk now. Really after both guys last fights they might deserve each other. But compared side by side Perez is world class of the two and we use that loosely. I think he'd have Briggs in deep stuff late.

Seriously, if anyone has an hour to burn or needs a sleep aid do yourself a favor and watch Briggs last fight. What you have here is literally about a minute of a right hand happy Mansour impersonation with 11 rounds of sleep walking, one at a time and afraid to gas out in between.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would want to see Perez vs Briggs. Briggs is used up and Perez doesn't have the heart for it, in my opinion.

Oh Jesus....the punch output would be pedestrian AT BEST

20 punch a round fight for sure.

I agree!!

Perez wins. Why? Cuz Briggs fucking sucks

For me as poor as Perez can be , he would take Briggs power , and stop him late.
To all the fans of Briggs , why now ? why wait this long to start shooting your mouth off ?
