Vitali Klitschko Vs. Shannon Briggs

Vitali Klitschko Vs. Shannon Briggs happing this saturday Oct 16

most think this fight will just be Klitschko dominating the fight, but don't be surprised if shannon knocks down vitali in the first few rounds. Briggs has the most Knockouts in the first round for the HW Dev and his been busting his ass at the gym getting ready for this fight, Reportedly Briggs is down to 240 he has not been in that type of shape since 2001. Briggs will be very dangerous in the first 4 -5 rounds of this fight.




Vitali will have to ware down his opponent and use his Height to his advantage and keep away from briggs for the first few rounds and in normal Klitschko fashion out strike his opponent to a TKO in the late rounds.

the odds are against briggs,
but can shannon briggs pull off the upset of the current WBC world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko?

My prediction: Vitali Klitschko Via T/KO Round 10.
You can watch the fight on ESPN3.com If you live in the USA and you can watch it on Primetime sports in England, and if you in Canada wanting to watch the fight? well then your out of luck.

Vitali may have a bad back, but I just don't think Briggs can cut it anymore

Briggs will start to gas after the 2nd round, gets KO'd in the 6th round.
Vitali is too good to allowed Briggs to do any damage in the first couple rounds.

I'd rather poke myself in the eyes than watch this.

Do it.

That press conference rant was epic!

I'd say Shannon Briggs is about as relevant as Francois Botha.

Thanks boxing. Thanks a pant load for all the mediocre fights we have to put up with in the higher weight classes.

Amen to that brother, amen to that.

Even though Vitali has declined as a Boxer he'll still shine Briggs chin this weekend.
Sucks that Haye is such a pussy

guy needs to grow a pair and fight wald or vitali.

Agreed.

the Klitschkos have beaten pretty much everyone not named David Haye and Alexander Povetkin and that's more Haye and Povetkin's fault than the Klitschkhos' fault, so you can't really hate on Vitali for taking a fight against Briggs and Wlad a fight against Chisora. as much as I hate them, you can't fault them for Povetkin and Haye not wanting to take the big step. I want Adamek to, but I think he's just too small

Adamek is the same size a Handy Haye.
Adamek is working his way up, he'll fight a Klitschko before Haye.

lol everone in my house will be watching adamek if his fighting a klitschko, gotta support the poland.

anyway so the weight in are in... and I'm disappointed, Vitali Come's in at 250'5 and Briggs is at 262... he was saying his down to 240 wow bogus...

anyway here are some pics!

Briggs is 40, not really surprising.
Vitali looks in great shape, carries 250 well.

Looks like Briggs is still on the roids

Briggs says Vitali hits harder than George Foreman in the post interview.
