You marked my words already, go ahead, I really wouldn't be surprised if Briggs can take a hell of a lot more of a beating as you guys might expect.
That may be the case but the referee is stopping this before 12 rounds have passed with the beating Briggs will take.
No idea why you love him so much but this is as lopsided as either Briggs or Haye's fights at the weekend, and is downright dangerous for Shannon.
I don't love him that much actually, he just got better ranks as Haye, so Haye might be lucky Briggs accepts him actually. Next to that it's nice money for both of them, there isn't that much risk involved actually. I think most of AJ's opponends have a lot more to fear when it comes to health risks.
Edit: And I fully admit I was wrong about Tyson Fury, I've said that many times ever since. I even refuse to predict who will win the next match. I think if the fight happens today that Wlad would win. I even think that if the fight happened two months before it happened last time that Wlad would win, but Fury proved me wrong before, so I guess I'd have to shut my mouth around him. I'm not editting posts that I made longer as a day ago, or to prove others wrong or bullshit like that. If you really trace all my posts you will see that I admit on more spots that I've been wrong around him.
For me he's a good boxer with a massive reach, somehow I still think that if he faces a really agressive opponend, who accepts beïng his himself before hitting Fury, that he will lose anyway. I think even Wlad can do it, but the style he used last time (fighting from distance) is impossible against someone with a longer reach, like Tyson Fury.
Nevertheless, how amazing is it that Povetkin made it this far, he's not that heavy, he's not that tall, he got a very short reach and before Klitschko couldn't even hit that hard.
