Briggs' best days are past him, he COULD pull an upset but I just don't think he'll be that big of a factor in the division even if he does win this fight.

Why not Briggs-Valuev...that would have made Nicolay a little bit more respectable IMO...fighting Monte Barrett whose last fight was a loss and that was OVER A YEAR AGO doesn't do ANYTHING for your credibility as a title holder or Don King's reputation as more of a protector of his investments than a true promoter
