Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
100% agree, horrible corner, Briggs just ate right hands all night, you think they would have trained for those. It didnt look like it the way he was moving right into them.
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
The corner, and the referee, should be ashamed of themselves imo.
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
The corner is to blame not the ref. I bet Ian John Lewis was dying for a chance to stop it but Briggs kept shrugging off the righthands
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
Agreed, after round 7 his corner should have let him have one more round, round 8 they should have stopped it, the ref or corner. Makes you sad to even watch shit like that actually, I love boxing but I hate seeing a dude take a vicious beating like that...just fucked up. I mean what was their plan??? There was no way he was going to win that fight after round 8 unless he knokcked klit out and come on they can't be that stupid that they actually thought he could do that, I mean dude's never been down, let alone knocked out. I'd rather see quick stoppages than this shit.
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
i only saw rds 11 & 12 & that was bad enuff!
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
Im not sure Vitali is the massive puncher he is made out to be. For 12 rounds he hit Briggs flush with every right hand he threw and they all had full power in them but he couldnt even drop Shannon. This is a guy who even at his best was blown away in 3 by Daryl Wilson so im surprised the washed up 38 year old version was able to take everything Vitali threw at him.
.. . Another boring Klitschko fight. Im sure theres some degree of disappointment he couldnt force a stoppage.
Re: What a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!
The corner should have pulled him definitely. The ref, well I think he could have but Briggs did keep coming back and showing he was able!
Gotta say it's the best I've seen Vitali look for a while though. Credit to Briggs for keeping on coming too but I thought Vitali would have had the power to end it against Briggs. I don't think he hits as hard as he once did!!

One things for sure...Haye wouldn't have taken those shots. ;D

Possibly but Lewis did him in 5 and he cant keep using the asthma excuse. He did pretty good tonight for a 38 year old washed up fighter with asthma
