I think he should have really studied how Vitali fights before even beginning to train for the match. That excuse about his arm hindering him from a win is inexcusable, because I'm pretty sure that he heard from reviews that rated Vitali Klitchsko, that ever since he became nearing the 40-year range he has been known for throwing frequent punches to the arm. However, he showed a lot of heart and perserverence, I'll give him that though. He needs to work on his defense. What Briggs should do is to do a lot of sparring and every five minutes his trainer should stop the session and let him know how to improve his defense, because that shit is sloppy. With all do respect, it might work with weaker opponents and sloppy clowns who call themselves fighters but when he is up against experienced adversaries such as Vitali and Lennox Lewis, he is going to have to not only step up his guard (which is sloppy), he is going to have to work on his defensive footwork as well, which is mediocre at best.
