Are you kidding me... Sergei did no counter punching against Briggs, he may be a counter puncher but he wasn't on saturday... What was Shannon just terrified at the possibility of getting countered for 11 full rounds?? The fact that his mouth was hanging open from the 2nd round on has nothing to do with it?? Face it, both these guys stunk the place out and neither could beat anyone decent unless they dramatically turn their conditioning around and actually fight. I also love how you admit in this thread how open Sergei was and how it should have ended early.. So much to, "give Briggs credit for digging down and beating a champion" huh? THe only way Briggs is ever in an entertaining fight again is if he faces Wlad, Toney, or Peter, and gets his ass whipped.
