Briggs lost this fight, and he certainly lost to Foreman. I can´t work Briggs out as a boxer. He seems strong but he has always failed to deliver the bombs on good opponents. He is just to stiff, and never lets his hands go.
why dont you people just STFU and face the facts. This fight was a long time ago and Briggs has had several years to become better, and trust me, he is better today.
I gotta give it to Francois Botha though, he truly is a FIGHTER and doesnt let heavy punches stop him ;) well done back then.
As to KLITSCHKO vs BRIGGS, its going to be VERY INTERESTING, personally i believe Vitali will be knocked out. If Briggs doesnt win, then he will lose to POINTS. Either way, Vitali will end up hurt.
Briggs is not better today, he has heavy slow arms, poor conditioning, and is greying.
Vitali won't be knocked out. That we know. Briggs is a low-volume hooker and Vitali is a hight volume, high power, straight shooter. Experience tells me Briggs is going to have to eat a lot of leather to even get 1 solid punch in and 1 punch won't knock out Vitali.
You may say what you like but don't tell others what to say or think. You get to say what you want to don't you?
If Briggs can't do any better than this against the likes of Botha, then Klitschko will murder him. Briggs is lucky to get a draw! Maybe he should try to get some sleep before he faces the Russian so he doesn't appear to be so wore out and weak!
when did this match take place? I like to see botha but he dont have any real knock out punch. I think Briggs has better hands, better teqnicue, faster and hits harder. But nice to see that botha can take a draw against bigger names too.
rockem sockem robots wow ...both guys defense is the side of their head, right chin left chin hit me and i am defending nothing just blast my face wow
Pretty good slugfest here. I think I saw more action here then I saw in Wlad Klitschkos last 10 fights(although wlad would easily dispose of either of these guys).
Briggs kept it close AND knocked Botha down. that makes a huge difference. Botha was outpunching Briggs though but, he got caught once... cost him the bout.
so true... thats what happen when you dont want to mess with a boxer record (briggs) when he lose this supposely easy fight with francis ... nobody knows what to do and they call it a draw...

Botha is an underrated fighter. His record is pretty good...all his losses/being knocked out have been against the best of the best.

briggs reminds me of clevland williams, very fast hands and explosive power, but easy to hit and poor stamina
