Klitschko is totally going to take this fight. Then go home and stuff this..

can't believe that went to a decision, fuck boxing.

Briggs has a great chin and the white guy lacks killer instinct and power. Add in the fact they have pillows taped on their hands and you end up with lots of decisions. Stupid fucking sport. I wanted to see a fucking KO.

All is not lost, UFC is on TV for free tonight.

Wrong Klitschko. That's Wladimir's girlfriend.

If Vitali were to go home and "stuff" that, he'd have some serious explaining to do to his wife, and his brother.

But man, Hayden Panettiere sure is hot in that picture. :hitit_sml:

Briggs does have a great chin. That "white guy" has the highest KO percentage among heavyweight champions. I believe that's still true, even with this fight going to the scorecards.

There were several instances that the fight should have been stopped, and Vitali awarded the TKO victory....I can't believe the ref let it go on.

But props to Briggs for being gracious in defeat.

Yea, na I know the white guy is good I just don't like spelling his name out so I call him the white guy instead. Briggs def has heart and an iron chin, he should learn some wrestling/sprawling and go into MMA or something.

I think Briggs has plans for MMA....or at least I remember reading something about that awhile back.
 
Here's a video with highlights from the fight.
What a beating Briggs took. He's in intensive care now,
and according to some German newspapers has fractures under both eyes, broken cheek bone, etc....

He's good but where is the "killer instinct"? If you replaced the white guy with someone like Tyson, Briggs would have been done for. The white guy has no urge to finish the fight, he just stands around and takes shots when it seems like it's convenient for him...boring. He should have gone in there and knocked Briggs the fuck out, Briggs didn't even know what country he was in half the time, he was just waiting to be put down. There is no reason what so ever that that fight should have ever gone to decision and that's exactly why I hate boxing, it's boring and 99% of the time it goes to a fucking decision even when it's lopsided as fuck.

It's not boxing, it's just the current heavyweight division. It's been dry for over a decade of any exciting talent like Tyson. When someone like Pacman is fighting, it's always fucking excellent to watch, even more so than most MMA fights.

I just see it differently. I enjoy the "sweet science", and seeing someone get shut out 12 rounds to zero isn't boring at all to me. Of course I prefer to see a KO, but last night's fight was definitely not boring to me.

I know you were exaggerating with the 99% decision thing....but for those that don't know, the Top 2 Heavyweight fighters are Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali the older brother at 39 (amazing how good he still is at that age), and younger brother Wladimir who is 34.

Together they have won 22 straight fights, and have KO percentages of 88, and 84 percent.

"Lopsided as fuck" can accurately describe almost all of the Klitschko fights over the last few years. But you can't really blame them, they just go out and beat whoever is in front of them. And they are always in shape, taking the sport seriously.

Honestly if they were American, boxing would be a lot more popular in the states..I really believe that. But instead, you have a lot of eastern European fighters taking over the heavyweight division, and so most Americans don't want to see that...and write off the division as being no good. That's not really the case, it's just that the top fighters are now no longer from the US.

Vitali and Wladimir are that much better than everyone else, even their European competition, and there aren't many American challengers, those that are there have already been beaten (Briggs, Rahman, Chambers, Thompson, Austin, Arreola).

The Klitschkos are so dominate, that I would bet if they both were retired right now, people would view the heavyweight division as MUCH BETTER than they do now. Simply because there would be some fights that could go either way being made....instead of blowouts.
 
I haven't given a fuck about boxing since Tyson quit. I cared a little bit about the Jones Jr. and Tarver saga, after which I truly didn't give a fuck about boxing in the least.

As for the super small guys division...meh. Something about two 100lb guys hitting each other with pillows for 12 rounds doesn't excite me. A low grade, and I do mean low grade, MMA fighter would fuckign shit all over Mayweather or any of the others. It's just lame.

As for this big white russian guy that fought Briggs, I'm not impressed. I can fucking promise you one thing, if you replaced him with Tyson, Briggs wouldn't have made it to a decision. Tyson sure as fuck wouldn't have let a wobbly and dazed Briggs get saved by a decision, he would have ended that shit. The whole thing was just boring and anti-climatic.
