To the poster that said the asthma was an excuse and there are meds for it, true... though most would have him DQ's because they are banned as performance enhancing...while I'm not sure what kind of Asthma Shannon has (excercise induced or allergy induced) it's pretty obvious to see that Shannon was gasping for air, just a look at his heaving chest...no matter how tired someone is they should still be able to breathe without gasping like that...besides his asthma is well documented back to his childhood so it's not an excuse...although losing weight is known to help asthma sufferers...
The counter left hooks and the jabs. Even though the fight wasn't exciting, Briggs still did damage and was hitting Sergei. Just because it wasnt exciting doesn;t mean there wasn't damage being done.
