Press Conference with Shannon Briggs in Hospital 20.10.2010

[0khans]

best asthmatic boxer of all time!

[quadcatfly]

what happened to his bis?

[MonaLisaNaked]

just saw the highlights of this fight, never seen anyone take that much punishment in the boxing ring, ever. what a brave man. it was relentless.

[Firstblk]

In Boxing you need someone to talk trash to hype it up Ali did Mike Tyson did it sometimes ,and Now Mayweather.

[MaratSafinVideos]

Very few would like to come up against this guy in a street fight! He does not give in. Ridiculous mettle.

[ivoandsumi]

people pls the bulshit talking is part of the contract they have to hipe up the fight yea hay is a pussy I am a Klitshko fan but I wouldn't wach wald vs hay so passionatly if hay didn't talk so much shit sam thing with shanon but he deservs respect

[ChompGa]

I WASN'T 100% ....I HAD A HEADACHE....FROM ALL THOES PUNCHES....I WAS ON MY PERIOD....SHUT UP! YOU HAVE A BIG MOUTH AND I'M GLAD YOU GOT YOUR ASS KICKED!

[MrAtlanticstar72]

infact i think a young shannon would have given a young vitali a very close fight. shannon was outstanding when he had speed.

[MrAtlanticstar72]

the onus was on vitali to knock him out and he still couldn't not even with one arm gone. thats something for shannon to feel proud of i surely would.

[springfield03sniper]

Props to him for going 12 with Vitali... Vitali probably hit him in hi arm and tore his bicep lol

[shinyguts]

well...this niggah was talking shit but he didn't quit. He just thought that being massive was going to be enough. He had a puncher's chance and that didn't come. All good.

[MrChutzpah2002]

At least he didnt run away, he went through the fight, if you guys ever had a torn muscle you will realize...

[PangeaSpreads]

@thankyouverymuchman Ya thats a load of balls from the other guy there, while Briggs was saved by the bell at the end of round seven, Vitali clearly does not have the punch power of Lennox Lewis who dropped Briggs about 5 times in 5rds. While Vitali has the highest ko record in the history of the heavy weight division, a lot are tko's rather than ko's and there were many fights like arreola where a ko was not on the cards. Lewis would have knocked out arreola adamek Johnson williams peter etc

[fuchsderprophet]

and "yes" i know he said "torn" but i noticed it in other videos,as well

[fuchsderprophet]

5:20 synthol? - at least it looks highly suspicious

[karu4ka77]

nice guy 

[SoLazy100]

@thankyouverymuchman he was lighter and inexperienced against Lewis. Lighter fighters go down faster. The Briggs in the 90s would get finished by Klitschko earlier. His reckless fighting style would have been suicide against Vitali, as it was against Lewis.

[rocaho001]

@thankyouverymuchman He can take punches better now. At the end of the fight BRIGGS HIMSELF SAID that Vitali is the heaviest puncher he ever fought. GET IT? Stop the hate.

[muclesmarinara]

Shannon is a good man. I love Shannon,he fought Foreman,Lennox and Klitschko and Shannon was the legit champ at a time.

[WhiteSlift]

"i'm the vice president" lol!

good boxer. 

[thedamgame]

the niggers era is over,,,its eastern europe's era

let the game began

[Mr505burque]

He shouldnt brag about going the full 12 rounds when he get he face pounded the way he did. His decision to not give up was foolhardy the potential for his wife to be a widow was great in this fight.

[Mr505burque]

SHannon Briggs has shitty foot work and hes slow so what else could he do but be a human heavybag/?

[luisvega666]

tough nigga

[TheUkrainePower]

Shannon I have much more respect for u then for David Gay trash talking bitch

[kiddcisco]

Do we think we will see Briggs fight again and if so who could be a worthwhile opponent. I am sorry to say but the heavyweight division sux at this time, it is overall boring. The Klitchkos are just too big and until someone comes along that is equal in size no one is going to beat them, it is as if there needs to be another weight class created, lol. However they are very boring to watch fight

[MrUnstoppablex]

Why do these guys make excuses? this guys arm, hayes toe, they can't face that the klitchkos are just hard fucking guys who are great boxers.

[DEFEAT0001]

His arms are fucking massive"

[vaskarusky91]

After Klitchkos fight and win the opponets become BUMS!!! LOL

[HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

Why does he have six tarantulas on his head

[EsaulRuss]

@HoneyIEducatedTheWeb Dude! It is not tarantula, it is a new type of French fries 

[daveevegas]

Briggs is a cool guy and class act-Haye can learn alot!

[VitalMusic217]

He showed heart but no brain, and his corner were absolutely NEGLIGENT, even the referre should have stoped that execution, he would talk like a stupid in 2 years just like Bowe Tyson Taylor...

[Mahetae]

@126Boxing ...and you're nothing but an ASSHOLE......

[damagejackal10]

The klitschko's only fight bums!!

This guy's prime was back in the 90's ..when he lost to lewis.

[VideoSupercar]

@damagejackal10 Lewis beat him in 2003.

[STRONGMAN415]

The injury is steroid related his bicep is overdeveloped and too injury prone.

[HarryTheTalkingDude]

@STRONGMAN415 that's a good point, i viewed the injury as a freak accident, i hadn't really looked at it like that. Imbalance between the overdeveloped bicep and relatively underdeveloped tricep = extends his arm to punch and ends up tearing it... of course any boxer stupid enough to be spending so much time bicep curling deserves the beating they end up with

[NikolayFPS]

I read the title "in Hospital" then left =D Vitali slaughtered this 1

[reecegrdn]

I was impressed he managed to stay up tbh

[reecegrdn]

I was impressed he managed to stay up tbh

[jc88fan]

This guy talks trash and ridicule vitali before the fight, but now he learn his lesson after being beaten up. So, the lesson here is be humble and don't talk too much before the fight. Because at the end of the fight you will feel sorry. peace

[TheMartin9400]

Briggs is a true class act. He's not making excuses or talking down on Klitschko. He's humble in defeat. He comes off a likeable this is rare for an American fighter.

[TheXeniaonatopp]

I honestly think hes been hit in the head too many times. otherwise i dont think hed be talking like this

[GladiadorRi]

I see this man has a heart...he won my support by not quitting and being humble and respectful after the fight. Great impressions.

[rusma79]

What a poor mans boxer.

[Sevnfurdy]

@126Boxing But seriously though, if you're a right-handed fighter ...and your left arm gets fucked, you just lost your jab and 70% of your defense. Poor guy. He's gracious about it though.

[MegaYouri13]

At least Briggs didn't go down like Solis... before I saw this interview, I knew something was wrong when Briggs just was NOT throwing any punches. In fact, he has been knocked out before. So, with Vitali being a world class, experienced fight.... why didn't he just jump on Briggs and end it with a flurry of punches? You can't fight with one arm... Briggs doesn't deserve a rematch with Vitali just yet.... but, he did earn a fight against Haye or Wladimir.

[lovesportful]

Of course vitali is a worldclass fighter but i really think that hes brother wladimir is lil bit better.

[slavrine]

Do you all even understand what are you talking about?

Shanon Briggs stood up the whole 12 rounds, while taking such hits to the face that would knock any of you out. He proved to be a real man, not a jerk-off like Hay. He has respect for other fighters, therefore he deserves respect as well- he is a professional.

[padd3]

@slavrine i think you didnt watch the press conference before the figh vs vitali. briggs insulted him badly and loughed about his doctor titel in a very arogant way. hes a fool! btw i think the trainer should have threw the towel or mb the ref stop the fight.

[slavrine]

@padd3

I saw that conference, and I did not see any insults. Shanon was just acting like that in order to promote the fight and get some money out of it, but he was doing it in a good way, with his own humor- I mean, you could see Klitchko smiling. I agree that a towel should have been thrown out, as I have expected Shanon to perform better, more like in his earlier fights, but nevertheless he proved to everyone that he has enough balls (and chin) to stand until the end.

[flugeldozer]

@slavrine True. Briggs is a huge guy and a class act - gives credit where credit is due. And he took one HELL of a beating.

[mihailzz]

Hi!

His respect for other fighters?

Watch his interview Before the fight.

[rocaho001]

@slavrine At the end of the fight he said Vitali is the strongest puncher he's ever fought. 

[muclesmarinara]

@rocaho001 I don't think Vitali hits harder than Foreman punch for punch.

[angliaruskin]

Shut up Shannon youre just a old joke Mr. Cannon I hope this was a good lesson before your retirement.

[bigpronger]

Blah Blah Blah !! I can land a bomb , I am the best , I knock everyone out . Well dipshit you got smashed you will get smashed again then you will be a vegetable

[noroidsaloud]

chump

[bicycless211]

Question: Would you rather see Gaye fight Wlad. or Vitali?

[roco153]

@bicycless211Haye has a minimum chance agasint wlad, but no chance agasint vitali.

[Mindaugas7100]

@bicycless211 prob vitaly, i said he would smash up haye in few rounds

[dnbmonster1]

OP, why is the sound so poor and one-sided?

[dnbmonster1]

@126Boxing

Could you have done better?

[whtpwr]

that nigger is toast

[sweet451263]

of cours u gonna give excuses ya after that trash talk speech u did u fail this is wa u get

[126Boxing]

of course...someone's always gotta play the race card

[stalinsbitch]

@Davidsondaini he is not the racist you are i think jou are an idiot end a bigot

[RHMGunit]

I believe him. He didn't throw any punches he normally would, not that he would have won, but I could see something was off.

[ivoandsumi]

@126Boxing nice

[1776CaptainAmerica]

You got to give him credit for hanging in there..it would have been easy for him to quit.
