Briggs-S.Ibragimov

boxrec has this one down. fair credit Sultan gets a shot after the demolition of Mora and having a close fight with Austin. It should be a good fight but i hope it wont shape up to be a bore fest (probs will though

) it says it's in russia and this surprised me because i wouldnt thin Briggs would risk fighting so far away from home ? either way it should be a good one and a real chance for another European heavyweight champion

With Austin's poor performance against Klitschko and the giant holes I saw in Sultan's defense against Mora I can see Ibragimov getting punished by Briggs. Hopefully, it will be challenging.

And yes, I know Mora got his clock cleaned in 46 seconds, but Ibragimov was wide open to be hit and walked himself over to the ropes. If Mora had known how to throw a real punch he could have hurt Ibragimov.

are you telling me your judgeing SI off a 46 second performance? it was an all out slug fest and SI caught him flush on the chin after that he did the right thing and went in and ended it. it was a bit of a different start compared to most HW fights and i diddnt expect that at all. SI hit him with an awesome shot and would have beaten him anyway! I think SI has a really good chance of winning.

Not exactly judging him. What I mean is if he leaves himself wide open like he did against Mora against someone who can actually punch he'll get hit. But perhaps he neglected defense because he had no respect for Mora's power. Which was pretty much right on the money.

Well being honest he would have tucked in well if the shot had not had floored Mora i just cant see how that perfomance can show anything except a cracking left uppercut.
