Briggs will win by early mugging (Mike Tyson to walk Sultan to the ring)

In round four, we get the answer. Briggs does a gut-check, conjures up energy from down deep and goes right after his opponent trapping him on the ropes. Blasting away with malefic shots, its deja vue as he clubs the helpless Russian through the ropes, down and quite literally out for the count. Sultan has learned that Shannon Briggs is no Javier Mora. Sultan has learned that Briggs is no Ray Austin.




*Ted hope you don't mind sharing the thread I just didn't wanna start a new thread since this one is well under way. ;)

"Tyson will walk Sultan into the ring"

http://www.fightnews.com/warriors86.htm

I've never seen Sultan fight before. Correction, I saw the abbreviated bout he fought after Briggs came down sick. SB has the ability, I think, to KO any heavyweight. He's huge. It's just a matter of how much he needs to have in the tank to check Ibragimov's chin.

I'll hazard a guess and say Briggs by 7 round KO.

Sultan had the fight with Austin but let him back into it and got knocked down..

He had the early rounds and a knockdown in the bank and still got a draw..
Sergei had 12 rounds in the bank and got sparked against shannon..

Ibragimov needs to be very very careful if he wants to pull this one off!

The replay indicated that Sultan had been decked twice, but the ref misses it...or am I mistaken?

Briggs blasting away?
Briggs throwing malefic shots?
Briggs clubbing an opponent THROUGH the ropes?

Now I know you dreamed this up. I take it you missed his fight against Lyakhovich huh?

Moneys on Sultan, if he can throw his combinations off and not hesitate like he did in the second half of his fight against Austin then Sultan wins a UD possible late stoppage by the ref.

I'm not confident to predict a winner.... I'm not sold on Briggs 100% If he didnt pull that fight out of his azz at the last minute and won despite himself, we would still be saying what a waste and what a bum he is, he is walking a vey fine line right now..

I want Shannon to win, but dont know if he can, to much instability with the Heavies these days :-\

With 1 punch per round his chances are VERY slim.

Agreed, but all it takes is one from Briggs. I'm not a big Briggs fan, but I'm definately not sold on Sultan yet.

I see your point.
I'm going here on the fact that Sultans faster the Briggs and that Sultan throws combos.
Something that Briggs hasn't shown.

Briggs is just a lumbering oaf with anvils at the end of his arms. Sultan should outbox him, but there are no room for mistakes with a big guy like Briggs. Although Briggs' skills have depleted, I just feel he is crafty enough to catch him, and I'm not sure how Sultan can take it.

IMO I think Ibragimov will handle Briggs like he did Lance Whitaker.

Well...


He is from brooklyn ;)

See. Maybe the Tyson comeback thread isn't that farfetched. I could see Tyson bad-mouthing Briggs, especially if Briggs wins, then maybe Mike will get his shot. :D Or maybe Mike is just hangin with Roger to get some "white" :o.

That's because it matches his personality......The guy has NONE....

At Least Shannon is Amusing.....

What the hell ever happened to fighters with a niche??...

Liston projected fear....Ali ....well he was Ali...enuff said on that

Holmes all business,,,,Tyson went on verbal rampages of unexisting words,,,,

Dont worry about it...

Sultan makes sure Mike has eaten twice before every time he see's him

No ear chomping for you Michael!

Do Briggs and Mike not get on you would have thought he would be walking in with his fellow Brownsville boy

Points Im inclined to go with :coolclick:

Briggs, is too big, has no output and relies on a single punch. If Sultan can work around these aspects then he has every chance...

A lucky punch may turn it around though. But only maybe

I would much rather a fighter let his fists do all the talking. Of course Sultan has a personality, it just hasnt stamped itself on the media yet. Maybe because it isnt all trash talk. :-\

Really? Cos i thought it was Briggs who was Russian.. You can tell by his typically Russian Hairstyle!

The rest of the script....:

As the bell rings for round one, "The Cannon goes after Ibragimov, 20-1-1, by launching an all-out attack, a Brooklyn mugging if you will. The Russian, surprised by Briggs' ferocity, backs off and tries to tie him up, but this time and unlike the Lennox Lewis fight, the big dread-locked fighter does not let his opponent off the hook and clubs him to the canvas with heavy punches.

Sultan gets up at nine, but is immediately pounced upon by a whirlwind blitz from his much bigger opponent (Briggs weighs far more than Ibragimov and is taller by two inches). Of course, the blitz is not quite of the Aaron Pryor variety, but for Briggs, it is impressive.

Ibragimov hangs on for dear life knowing that if he can take Briggs into the mid to late rounds, he may well own him. But if he engages Shannon as he did Ray Austin, he may not get through this round. The combination of Briggs' size and bull-rush tactics seems to be overwhelming him. One is reminded of Lennox Lewis' quick clubbing of "The Foul Pole" or Tony Sibson‘s mugging of John Collins. Sultan barely survives the round and heads for the wrong corner on rubbery legs; he appears ripe for the picking as his corner works feverishly to revive him.

As round two starts, Briggs rushes across the ring and continues his attack on a still-dazed Ibragimov. Again, he goes down but this time its a strategic move as he takes the count on one knee in order to gather himself, a smart ploy. The expected end almost comes as a surprisngly non-gasping Briggs puts the Russian down again with straight (and punishing) rights. Shannon turns to the crowd and raises his hands in victory thinking the fight will be stopped. Meanwhile, the referee counts to nine and takes a long, long look into Sultan’s eyes. The Russian holds his arms up and semi-gingerly moves forward at the referee’s command. Surprisingly, he is allowed to continue, but he is admonished to fight back.

At this point, a not-so-subtle change occurs. When Shannon turns back to see a determined Sultan still standing, his spirit visibly depletes like air rushing out of a balloon. Could this be another “Roy Williams -Earnie Shavers” drama? Still, he comes on and hits him with blows that surely would have decked anybody else. The game warrior survives the round and the amazed crowd is up and roaring. The man from Rostov-na-Donu, Russia seems to have won them over.

Round three is a different kind of round as a tiring Briggs and a slowly but determinedly recovering Ibzagimov both take the round "off" to recover. Has he let the Russian off the hook?

In round four, we get the answer. See above.

I see Sultan stopping Briggs with body shots by round 6.

Im hoping Briggs wins then we can have Shannon Briggs vs Wlad klitschko that would be good if Wlad beats Brewster that is

Tysons applied to be a cornerman,I can see it now
"Sultan,when he dips like that,do you see what he opens up?"
"His body?"
"NO HIS EAR!,Have you forgot everything I taught you?"
;D ;D ;D

All Bullshit and wisecracks aside, this is the sort of thing that will be good for Tyson, if he gos to jail it will give him something to look forward too when released, and if succesful he can dispense alot of Knowledge... Tyson has a very high Boxing intelligence and has worked with some of the best trainers in the world... I hope this can be a regular thing for him if he gets his license

Screw Tyson. How many chances is he entitled to? He may be somewhat of a historian because he watched some of Jummy Jacob's films, but as far as I'm concerned, his technical "mastery" of the sport has not been affirmed. Moreover, being a trainer takes patience and that's something I don't think he has. As you can see, I'm am not a great Tyson fan, but I never did like guys who quit on their stools. >:mad >:mad

Deal with it...

Hey Rock, as you can see, I'm am not a great Tyson fan, but I never did like guys who quit on their stools, particularly against slugs like McCbride. But then, a little carnival flavor might make the entire show more interesting. ;D ;D :) :) ;D

Sultan needs to be very cautious in the early rounds until that big body of Briggs slows down, And then he should jump on him.
