Guys, I applaud the man that can Cap this fight. Both over 38, both well past their primes. I should just sit on my butt and not bet. But I haven't bet in awhile and I am getting itchy feet lol..

I have decided to play small and play small on a hunch. I think this is a freak show. I ain't buying what Briggs is selling. Now what probably is going to happen is Vitali boxes safe and builds up a big points lead and then takes out Briggs between 7-12. If you can get the KO prop between 7-12 that may be the safest play.

Still I think this is a freak show. 2 weeks ago Briggs states he is 242 yet at the weigh in he weighs in 262! I think Briggs has decided to go for it for 3 rounds and I think we will see him being wreckless going for the cold KO. I think this ends early with a Vitali KO.

So just playing on a hunch that this fight is a total joke. Vitali to win between rounds 1-3 @ +400. Good luck

I agree with the idea that this will end quickly.  I just can't see Briggs holding up for very long.

Under 9.5 (-230) seems pretty solid to me.

5dimes is smart no pts handicap at not least yet. Briggs at best is a 4 round fighter.. how he even got a shot is beyond me.

This fight isn't going the distance unless Vitali looks worse than last time.. we know he's getting up there in age and didn't look good his past few.

Vitali will finish Briggs question is how aggressively does he do it.. Vitali by KO -350 is to much chalk hopefully I can get the pts handicap and lay -115(KO wins) since the pts probably won't matter anyways I just want to get a KO at -115 rather than -350 ( I doubt that they will put it up).

We have a ton of great  boxing matches  coming up.. in November and December sadly this  bout isn't one of them.

The under card looks even worse.

Vitali too cautious looks like my +400 is gone. Briggs looks awful in there. This will be an embrassing one sided beating just like we all thought. Just a matter of how far it goes..

Heavweight boxing is a joke right now..

Briggs looks old as sin in there. Too bad I quit playing unders cuz this joint looks like its going under. Briggs is exerting himself and its just a matter of a few rounds before the lights go out...lol.

I think McNulty I will look for a KO 7-12 prop when a Klitschko fights. No capping necessary thats how all their fights end!

Yo' Mack, I need your input in my Sam Webb thread. Not much time left...

Yeah that sounds better imo. Neither brother has been getting early ko's since the 90's I think.

Briggs I admire the dudes heart but he was just a punching bag. If he makes it to the end its a boxing miracle..Just a massacre...

holy sh!t whoever laid the chalk on the KO must be sick tonight! Briggs was out on his feet after 10! How he has got to 12, I will never know. Props to the dudes heart, that was a sick beating...

Klit whooped his ass, but it's a little embarassing that he couldn't finish him.  He fought the 11th round like a pussycat, with a deadman in front of him.

Sad state of boxing, I believe it says more about Vitali than it does Briggs.

He's doing a post interview saying he's the greatest fighter (Vitali) he's ever faced and a harder puncher than George Foreman.. (I think NOT). These  are words from Briggs.

Congrats to Briggs for lasting the distance when he was done in the 9th.

Yeah, all he needed was to put in a few flurries and Briggs sleeps. Thats the ref you get for a Klitchko.Haye type fight. Not a single meep all night.


They showed Hayden a few x during the broadcast. Man, is she looking suhweet tonight boy.


On a real note, Briggs always had too much unnecessary muscle. I think he played the asthma bit up a bit. He could have been a lot better in his career if he was leaner and all that comes with it.

Briggs now stuck in a German hospital with numerous injuires:

Very dumb of his corner not to stop the fight.  Once he lost all steam on his punches, he had no chance to win.
