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

[No Contest]

Punishing Briggs, you could tell in the staredown Vitali doesnt like him.

[Mctaggert]

It's depressing to watch why pound the guy around the ring making him loose more braincells.
This is why the champs should have no choice but to fight the other belt holders, to stop this sort of shit and make a actual fights happen.

[Spicoli]

Briggs never had a chance

[Mark TKO]

yawn yawn yawn

Safety first Klitschko performance as usual - he could have had him out of there inside of 5 if he went for it.


Lennox blew this guy out in what 5-6 rounds, 10+ years ago ?

I had Briggs a round up going into last but I bet Klit gets home town decision

[Mark TKO]

I reckon Haye would have finished Briggs in 5 by the way

Well it was somewhat fun...

See 'ya guys around.
I'm about to head out to Universal Studios for the Halloween Horror Nights.
Should be fun, I'm taking an extra pair of undies just in case.

The corner, firstly, should be ashamed of themselves. He shouldn't have come out for the tenth round and, even then, the towel should've been thrown in. He was taking a ridiculous amount of punishment. Even the referee, too, done Shannon Briggs no favours at all. His first responsibility is to protect the fighters and he failedin that abysmally. Terrible performance from all concerned. I found it uncomfortable to watch in the end and was screaming at my laptop for it to be stopped.

[Spicoli]

Yeh I think faster,turning Haye could tko Vitali on his feet. Briggs was a willing punching bag and played his role to a tee.

Edit guess I should say I haven't seen the fight as it's delayed, spoiler alert? BWAHA :x

[No Contest]

Briggs corner is horrible, there was no way, you could have stppoed it in the 9th and saved Briggs unnecessary punishment. I wouldnt say Vitali has lost power, Briggs has a sturdy chin, and no neck.

[Fenster]

I started off joking in this thread but that was uncomfortable viewing at the end. Briggs took a ridiculous amount of power punches.

Vitali wasn't coasting it was just Briggs being overly brave (stupid).

[badr_hari]

wtf with these guys saying Vitali could have finished it. He wanted, He did EVERYTHING he had, but COULDN'T DROP let alone STOP the 39 years old, 262 pounds heavy IRON CHINNED Shanon Briggs.
Good win for Vitaly and respect to Briggs, the will to countinue after taking such a big amount of clean power shots showed that he didn't enter the ring just for money.

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

SB came to win but Vk was too fast so SB started looking for the one hit ko. VK looked like he was taking it easy as far as the attacks, he just wasn't as aggressive as usual. I'm sure we would see a lot more action from VK if David "The Shittalker and do nothing" Haye would grow some balls and get in the ring

[WelshDevilRob]

Well that was even more onesided than I thought. Briggs not only hardly landed any punches for the most part he seemed incapable of throwing any. A few straights to the body in the early rounds and that was basically it.

Very cautious openning by both but by the mid to late rounds Vitali landed that right hand almost at will. Fair play, Briggs chin mainly took the shots well. He was in trouble a few times later on but more down to the affect of the sustained punishment.

Thought the fight could have been stopped in the 10th. Briggs finally landed a flush headshot in the 11th which that stunned or took Vitali by surprise.

Credit to Briggs that he made the final bell but this was like watching an old Vitali beat up on a punchbag for 12 rounds.

[El Kabong]

Vitali is no longer sitting down on his punches like he used to, he can stop damn near anyone but he is content to just score and not get hit in return.

Wlad is trying to move in the opposite direction, letting his hands go more.

Why all the sympathy for Briggs, you knew what was in store for him before the fight even started.
