Right.... because Briggs has a chin of granite. Ever see him stumbling all over the ring against Lennox? If Briggs is so amazingly talented, then why has he accomplished virtually nothing in his career?Quote:

How can anyone not think that? Hell, all Ibragimov has to do is run around him all night like that Charlie Chaplin clip you posted. If Sultan can't keep away from Briggs smokesignal haymakers and win this fight on points he shouldn't be in the fight game to begin with.
Briggs ain't s*** but a muscled up gori... orangutan.
hahahaha,why the disdain for Briggs?? I've never seen Sultan fight,can anyone describe his style?Quote:

I saw the fight and i have never seen a guy that had so little left just stay in there hitmandonny
Right, had so little left after doing asbolutley nothing. Which means he had very little to start with. 0 - 0 = 0
He could still win tomorrow but it's not the smart bet.

Awkward power with a goofy look around the eyes.
Nobody will ever confuse BoxingGorilla with being politically correct. :nono:Quote:

Circle, step in throwing punches step out and circle....
It's obvious to see Sultans got more skill at this moment even just from those clips.Quote:

Briggs should blast out Ibragimov, less Sultan gets a lucky shot in or something.Quote:

If you were a Briggs fan going in then I guess you rejoiced, but if you were a Lyakovich fan going in (like I was) you wept into your hat. Sergei didn't do squat either and if he had won I'd have been telling you how he staved off the toothless lion.
Once again it boils down to where your hang your hat.
I know, I know... another hat reference. ::**
briggs will win....
the first few rounds then tires around the 6th round and get tko ;)
^Strong possability that.
Briggs is a good fighter he has a good chin its just that Asthma thing its such a shame because if he could throw punches in bunches round after round he would be number 1 now he would take anybody out.
He deserves some credit for coming as far as he has. The amount of guys with perfect health who embark on pro careers and get nowhere and Briggs with his asthma in the top ten heavyweights list! Kudos!!!
Still it could only happen at heavyweight!
hopefully now he has title he will be all fired up and just takes Sultan out of their
AHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA
sultan dominated his ass :D :D :D
:D
A thoroughly deserved victory by the sounds of it. Good for Sultan!! :DQuote:
