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!!
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.
