Vitali-Briggs press conf pictures and fight talk!!!

[ElTerribleMorales]

gotta say Briggs looks to be in great shape, probably the best shape of his career, that said Vitali sparks him in 6

Briggs always looks that way bro.

He's just built like that.

Has just about no stamina though.

he looked fat against Liakovich (spelling) and against Mercer, he looks a hell of a lot leaner in that pic, either way like i said it wont make a difference and Vitali is going to own him, and stop him in about 6, then Briggs will say his asthma started acting up

[Gandalf]

Briggs does look in decent shape, I just hope he is able to fight as well as he cleans. The heavyweight division is due a decent scrap.

I don't expect Briggs to cause many problems for Vitali BUT one thing that can't be denied is his punching power and if he lands we'll find out what Vitalis chin is like these days. No one for me has tested it since the comeback and common sense tells me it won't be like it once was.

That said Briggs is one of the worst HW's I've ever seen and other than his power he doesn't have anything to trouble an elite fighter like Vitali (even though he is in decline) and I thoroughly expect Briggs to be gone before the 8th!!

Briggs is a nice guy,great commentator....but he is one of the most over hyped heavys in quite some time. He's a walking caricature and almost looks like a 'pet' or sidekick to Vitali in these pics.

Exactly

Briggs is therefore our Audley who would make a great commentator.

does anyone know of a live stream of this fight?

I agree, Briggs has really good power, but little else. Most of his record is padding (and that is most likely due to asthma ). He is dangerous for 6 minutes, but once he punches himself out Vitali should be able break him down. It will likely be slow because Vitali likes busting up his opponents over the long haul, but you can bet Briggs will be wheezing after 4.

briggs defo looks in great shape!

Briggs was never that good at his best and all these years later his stamina has not improved. He has too much muscle, and will tire out after 4 rounds and get beaten.

He rocked the crap out of Lennox Lewis a couple times....should have scored a knockdown too! Granted this was AGES ago...but he was good, he just (like all other contenders) was inconsistent

[:::PSL:::]

The Milli Vanilli Boy will gassed out and gets crushed in 7th.

[DaxxKahn]

Shannon looks to be in great shape but the punch output is his problem so we will see how it turns out...I pick Vitali but would like to see Shannon at least look respectable

[No Contest]

Pineapple head is in effect. Too bad all that muscle is gonna do is slow him down and limit his range of motion. Vitali is stronger in punching power, you will see that tommorrow.

[CutMeMick]

Briggs walking out to KRS-1... that's about the only good thing he'll do tonight.
