Actually although they called 2.59 there were actually 30 seconds left when Lyakhovich fell out of the ring.
Briggs should have got him out of there in the 11th and right away in the 12th but he seemed unable to throw a punch.
I don't know if you've ever had a dream where your being attacked, and your trying to fight back or run away but you can't move, everything is happening real slow and you just feel like you are in slow motion.......well watching the fight last night was a like a real life version of that nightmare.
Briggs couldnt have been any slower if he'd have been underwater or on the moon.
Good luck to him, he's a charismatic man outside the ring and I'm pleased for him but I think we finally found a heavyweight champion who both Maskaev and Valuev would be odds on to unify against.
And people say Holyfield should not come back, if beats Fres Oquendo next week I'd have him favourite to win 3 belts no problem :P
