I have never seen a boxer get tired of punching a person in the face so many times. Briggs was very skillful in stopping all those punches with his face.
Some guys are brain-damaged from 1% of this, others -- like Briggs -- seem immune. I wish there was a way to protect more of them. How did Briggs manage it?
I saw Vitali in a match in Oberhausen, Germany in the early 2000s. I was always a boxing fan but had never been to a heavyweight match live. It was a good deal as they had premium seating for US military and their families. It was a long fight, and I could not believe the sound of the punches connecting. It sounded like a a tree falling over and over. It really put it into perspective just how hard these guys hit.
That's actually awesome to hear! Never seen a live heavyweight match myself. I know how it sounds when they're hitting a heavybag though, and you can definitely hear the power difference compared to smaller athletes!
It's a big time fail rope a dope by Briggs, he doesn't have stamina to defend by moving his body out way, so he basically intentionally is eating those shots, so he sees every shot is why he doesn't get caught with any shots he doesn't see, he was betting the whole time on his power and a one shot ko which is bad strategy because Vitale also got a good chin
Ive been boxing since i was a kid and a few decades its what i still do and love for a living. Either Klitchcko would have me out cold with a 1 before even landing that 2 Shannon Briggs is very tough for going the distance. Never was a skilled boxer but one of the toughest and harder hitters there ever was Not much you can do when a 6 foot 8 Ukranian monster stays on his back foot and punches off the lead jab.
Don't understand how Briggs could take that bad of a beating and never went down; I've never seen anybody get beat up that bad; it's an absolute miracle he survived.
Seriously the guy is a beast, remember his fight with Lennox Lewis, SB kept rising like a zombie that never dies, if a good boxer have such chin we'll say that boxer is a complete champ, that is one thing AJ lacks.
Check out Larry Holmes beat down of Randall Tex Cobb and you'll see a worse one! After the fight Sackrete concrete company wanted to examine his head to see what it was made of!
Absolute Truth, David! Vitali allowed himself to be overshadowed by his younger, and less talented brother. Wlad was better, technically, but Vitali was just so powerful and tough. Never knocked down, never behind on a single score-card. Vitali was way more humble than he should have been, in my opinion. Had he been a little more bombastic, more people would realize and recognize that he was one of the greatest HW fighters who ever laced up gloves! I've said this before - had Anthony Joshua fought Vitali, instead of Wladimir, most people wouldn't even know his name. Vitali would have knocked him out - and right quickly!
Удари Віталія Кличко всі з верху в низ, таким чином Бріггс добре відхилявся в бік удару, чим сильно пом'якшував їх. Як би Віталій бив з низу вверх от тоді можливо чистіше влучання!
I never seen a boxer, eat so many punches, and not fall. This was incredibly great and sad at the same time. He will never be the same after taking so many hits to the dome.
You got to be in great shape to fight either one of them Klitschko brothers in their prime or even after their prime... they didn’t rule the division for a long time for no reason...
He made him look like he's never boxed his entire life. This is one of the best boxing videos I've ever seen. 😂 But he did take over 1,000 hard landed punches like a champ.
Klitschko was an animal for this. He wanted to inflict as much damage as possible. He could of KO'd Briggs at any point. But would wait for him to recover and hurt him more.
@@LjLj-kg6ml Whatever happened with that lawsuit? He claimed he only received 25K out of the 750k he was promised. I think it's funny that Briggs had just lost a lawsuit by his former publicist for over 400k. I don't believe anything Briggs has to say.
Льюис не вийшов на реванш, і цим все сказано, як би вийшов, на другий бій, то сам вже не зміг би піти. Коли вони зустрілись, у Віталія ще не було таких суперників, і тому він багато чого навчився! А от Льюис нічому не навчився, тому другий бій був би не довгим!
Not sure if it was just the editing, but it looked like for every 100 punches Klitschko landed, Briggs landed 1. I wonder if Klitschko held back from knocking Briggs out so he could keep teaching him a lesson through the entire bout.
Not the most exciting Heavyweight Champion ever, but Vitali just had that combination of great defense, and one punch knockout power. This was a GREAT fight.
I remember this fight, Briggs showed unbelievable heart to make it to the final bell but a better ref would’ve stopped it much earlier. Compubox shows Briggs only landed 73 shots all fight, Klitschko landed 41 in just the 12th rd alone! Ian John Lewis is an appalling ref guilty of many poor performances.
Yeah, the ref should have stopped the fight and never let it go like that; the ref should have went to Briggs' corner after about the 6th round and told them that if Briggs continues to get hit like he'd been getting hit, that he was going to stop the fight; Briggs was not defending himself; he's lucky he wasn't killed in the ring.
I totally disagree. Briggs was so self-deluded, that if the ref had stopped the fight - At Any Point , Briggs would have claimed that he still.had enough to win the fight and had been cheated of a victory. He wasn't actually knocked down in the fight. The ref was right.
It all comes down to one boxer being just a tiny fraction of a second faster than the other. Those slightly faster reflexes make all the difference. And then throw in pinpoint accuracy and insane combos. Klitschko was loading up and throwing those from beside his ear, and Briggs still couldn’t duck them. No doubt Briggs has grit, but this fight shows that all those chiseled muscles and the loud personality mean nothing in the end.
It looked like Klitschko wanted the fight to go the distance or perhaps didn't want to risk overcommitting and getting countered. His strikes seemed like 80% of his power at best. Still kudos for Briggs for taking all of them and remaining conscious.
When someone is beating the living daylights out of you, you're supposed to back away from them, not move toward them. I don't know what Briggs was thinking. I don't even think he was ABLE to think.
The only thing proven here is that Shannon Briggs can take a nasty beating and still stand when most would have dropped ... The cannon ran out of amo in the 2nd round and kept going so that alone is worth his props especially after the fact he was immediately hospitalized
To be fair he stood for his words. He said that Clichko will quit due to injury and when he torn his biceps he didn’t quit. He said that he will beat him so bad that he will retire and when he got beaten that badly he didn’t retire. And I think it is outstanding
Never knew much about boxing, but Briggs was always an intimidating person. It's pretty interesting to see him get beat, but his resume is pretty damn crazy tho.
How are you in his defense? The guy talked mad 💩💩 for a very long time... then on fight night he came NOWHERE CLOSE to backing any of his talk up. Plus he’s low iQ AF and annoying AF. Why defend him ?
Man, this is painful to watch. Too one-sided, but probably Briggs was weighed down by too much muscles. If he liked muscles, he would have gone the Frank Bruno way, neat and clean, not huge and bulky
But Briggs was totally shot, he could barely throw a punch and was extremely slow. He would never have hit Vlad, he is way too quick on his feet. Briggs moves in slow motion and his stamina is terrible.
In the end, after all the training, all the miles on the road jogging, all sparring, and all the pre-fight hype, boxing ends up like everything else. It comes down to soundness of mind- otherwise known as sobriety. Many great fighters have gone far until their soundness of mind became important. Then they lost-- and lost everything.
I have never seen a boxer get tired of punching a person in the face so many times. Briggs was very skillful in stopping all those punches with his face.
Mr. big mouth
Bwahahaaaa! Good one. Klitschko, awesome human and great mayor of Kyiv!
😂😂😂 very humilate all 12 round all hits in faces.Insane😂😂
I’m convinced the ref wanted Briggs to die
SEÑOR CARA DURA
Briggs was outclassed in every single way in and out of the ring.
lets go champ
not in the hard head department 😄
Briggs ability to take that many direct hits to the head made him the best punching bag in the business.
Briggs got hit on more than a blonde cheerleader at a frat party!
😂😂
Why does nonone talk about him not getting paid for this fight though that's messed up
Some guys are brain-damaged from 1% of this, others -- like Briggs -- seem immune. I wish there was a way to protect more of them. How did Briggs manage it?

Great comment and so true.

Absolutely baffled how Briggs survived and stayed standing. That's insane
Yes he took some pounding
He looked unconscious on his feet.
He spent over a week in hospital after that fight.
Gotta give him respect for taking the licks
It's a big time fail rope a dope by Briggs, he doesn't have stamina to defend by moving his body out way, so he basically intentionally is eating those shots, so he sees every shot is why he doesn't get caught with any shots he doesn't see, he was betting the whole time on his power and a one shot ko which is bad strategy because Vitale also got a good chin
Klitschko reprogrammed Briggs' vocabulary to 3 words: Lets Go Champ
I believe programm included more words)) ... but brain is no longer capable )

That was an absolutely brutal highlight reel. I can't believe Briggs still has the audacity to act tough in public after that.

Maybe not that surprising... most likely Klitschko turned what was left from Briggs' brain into a mush...

@Trooperx86 compared to average joe Briggs is tough, but compared to the monsters he picks fights with on a regular basis he's a joke
Briggs is a hell of a defensive boxer. He was able to block every punch with his face. Impressive.
And used his brain as a shock absorber to absorb the blows
😅😅😅😅😅😅

Hahaha. For real tho

God damn those right hands by Klitschko look brutal. Reminds me of his reign of greatness.
Everyone knew that this was exactly how this fight would go.
Especially Briggs .
how briggs survived that beatdown is stunning to watch
Briggs literally got the shit kicked out of him for the whole fight
😂😂😂😂
Watching it live was beautiful
Beat him that bad, he only remembers 3 words, '' Lets go Champ''.
He really did, but let's go champ!
Isn’t this the fight he tore something in his arm
I can't get over how hard Klitchos fist must. Shannon Briggs was pretty much head butting it for pretty much the entire match, phenomenal

But he did take over 1,000 hard landed punches like a champ.
Fun Fact: Klitchko is also the mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine. He could be anywhere in the world but he loves his hometown.
He and his brother avoided fighting for their home country but gave speeches about that every ‚man‘ has to do so…

Not the most exciting Heavyweight Champion ever, but Vitali just had that combination of great defense, and one punch knockout power. This was a GREAT fight.
more exciting than holmes, but not by much
Vitaly knocked out with pressure and consistency, he never had that killer blow like Vladimir or AJ
Briggs fighting strategy "if I stay still long enough, maybe he will miss."
They should have never let it go so long. That could have killed this guy.
I love this channel! ✌️ ❤️
Brilliant. Shannon blocks every blow with his face😂

At the point your adversary drops his guard and starts making connections from hands down position, the fight is over .

I have to admit , Briggs took more punches to the face that I ever seen a man take.

Yeah full blooded khirgistan viking
Totally agree 👍!! Vitali was an exceptionally proficient technician for a man that big.
Always satisfying watching the calm quiet guy pick apart the loud trash talker
Its what we all expected but that was a horrendous 12 round beat down. A total mismatch in truth.

Damn ... This almost wasn't even fair. Always admired the Klitschkos. But this was a pain clinic.
It all comes down to one boxer being just a tiny fraction of a second faster than the other. Those slightly faster reflexes make all the difference. And then throw in pinpoint accuracy and insane combos. Klitschko was loading up and throwing those from beside his ear, and Briggs still couldn’t duck them. No doubt Briggs has grit, but this fight shows that all those chiseled muscles and the loud personality mean nothing in the end.

Vitali avoided knocking out Briggs so he could punish and humiliate him more.
That was right out of the Rocky movie, Briggs took a beating
This is not humbled but destroyed

Shannon is a larger than life character 🥊👍🏴
He’s annoying
What’s worse than getting knocked out or knocked down? Getting knocked up for 12 round straight. Briggs was a literal punching bag for Klitchko.
Klitschko actually held back
To be fair he stood for his words. He said that Clichko will quit due to injury and when he torn his biceps he didn’t quit. He said that he will beat him so bad that he will retire and when he got beaten that badly he didn’t retire. And I think it is outstanding
Biggs standing there with the look of why you hitting me bro? Homie never knew the bell had a reason ...
He zone out of real -time reality it seems ....who knows what stuff he swallowed or injected before the match .
