Sergei wen't thru the ropes A LA Rahman....![]()
Couple surprising things about that, 1) it went to the 12th.2) and Briggs had something left in the tank to get the KO!!

Well Wlad is the #1 guy now.....and Wlad would have beaten Briggs had Shannon been man enough to take the fight
One of the worst fights I've ever seen, can't believe I sat through the whole thing. Believe me, it going to the 12th has nothing to do with the conditioning of either man, they were both in terrible condition and stunk the place out thoroughly.. Both were gasping for air in the 2nd round despite having done nothing, that's literally how bad it was.. Sergei is truly just an indication of how bad Brewster was, either guy was ripe for the picking all night, it's like they both just agreed to go through the motions for the most part.. the KO was more just a result of exhaustion by Sergei, although Briggs hit him with a couple of good shots to score the initial KD Lyakovich had nothing left and Briggs very very little.. He was too exhausted to jump on Sergei when he rocked him, Lyakovich showed very poor survival skills.. Just a terrible fight.
Don't let the media fool you Shannon wanted and wants the Wlad fight. He actually wants Samuel Peters!
Oh I'm not fooled which is why I know Briggs will get starched in his next fight either by Wlad or by Sam Peter
Man, I was really hoping that Lyakovich would keep hold of that belt and shut out Briggs. I mean, if he's a boxer doing bum of the month, then I'm not sure he should really be getting a world title fight. Anyhow, I can't believe that he isn't being hailed as the saviour of the Heavyweight division, cmon, there must be a Briggs fan somewhere?
I'm definitely a Briggs fan. We came up in the amateurs together,sparred alot and we are friends to this day!
Not a great fight by any means, both guys looked like they had the weight of the world on them which certainly did not help their stamina...Asthma or not Briggs has got to learn how to breathe, amazing how no one has addressed this issue throughout his carreer...Liakhovich is garbage Briggs did nothing to earn the KO Liachovich just asked to be KO'd and Briggs should have done it much earlier...Lyle is right and Shannon gets wrecked by Wlad unless Shannon fixes his stamina issues...I do like Shannon's chances against Maskaev though I believe that would end quick with a Briggs KO...
I agree with the above comments a real stinker of a fight.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS ANGLE!!!??!?!??!
If Sergei was ahead by 4 point going into the 12th (my scoring)
2 knockdowns make it a 10 - 7 round
Sergei has 20 seconds to get back into the ring after being knocked out of the ring!!!!
People outside of the ring hold onto his shoulders and pull him back as he tries to re enter the ring
if he gets back into the ring he wins the fight!!!
the ref can stop a fight without a 10 count or the 20 second count on his discresion if he feels the fighter is "done" but!!!
AFTER the round is over, ie clock is at zero seconds, ref waves his arms to signal that the fight is being stopped by him.
I think that the fight can be contested and sergie declared teh actual winner based on the score cards!!!!
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!!!?!?!??!
Ah no. He got knocked the fuck out. Accepted it.Originally Posted by landmine950

Only way it gets reversed is if Shannon gets caught for juicing.
I think even if any of that was true or came to fruition... He wasn't really 4 rounds up, the fight was SO bad but still Briggs did win enough rounds, Sergei was up 1 or 2 rounds at the most imo... And even still, the fact that there were 2 KD's by Briggs should have gotten the UD... Even if Sergei wasn't absolutely out.. I don't really understand what you mean at all come to think of it... Lyakovich was out of the ring for a good 30 seconds after the 2nd KD, but even if he wasn't the 12th round was so much more decisive than anythign else in the entire fight I think it still would have won Briggs the decision if it went to the cards.Originally Posted by landmine950
