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.

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.
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
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...
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!
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.
@@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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
After this fight, Shannon could only say 'let's go champ' over and over again" - Shannon Briggs always inspired with his words and spirit, even after tough fights.
Honestly this is a dangerous situation and the fact that they didn't call the fight earlier is negligence... People die with this kind of pummeling at the very least brain damaging as well as eyes... Tough to watch
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.

I’m convinced the ref wanted Briggs to die

Briggs ability to take that many direct hits to the head made him the best punching bag in the business.

I have never seen something like that in real but i know from the past that the Klitschko brothers were outstanding in boxing.
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
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Essa foi boa,kkkkk.
Hahaha. For real tho
what brain??@@bryanlongshore6198
That was an absolutely brutal highlight reel. I can't believe Briggs still has the audacity to act tough in public after that.
@PumpkinSpiceCornbread
Maybe not that surprising... most likely Klitschko turned what was left from Briggs' brain into a mush...

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
Briggs was outclassed in every single way in and out of the ring.

False. Also miracles aren't real.

I don't remember a fight where every big punch landed square like this one. Amazing.

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
Everyone knew that this was exactly how this fight would go.
Especially Briggs .

Very much so. Simple reason? He's white

How can Vitali Klitchko be underrated? Maybe only by people who know nothing about boxing
That man was toying with him the entire way. Wasn't trying to knock him down. He just wanted to punish and embarrass him.
Loved every minute of this beatdown
Damn ... This almost wasn't even fair. Always admired the Klitschkos. But this was a pain clinic.

Shannon tore a tendint in his arm in the 2nd round and went 12 rounds with one of boxings hardest punchers with one arm
Who cares,,you are nothing but jock strap sniffer.😅
Briggs looked like a meatball with ears, helplessly getting his face smashed. It was fun to watch. Let’s go champ!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
This is not humbled but destroyed

Briggs had a beat down coming.
They should have never let it go so long. That could have killed this guy.
watch him in a few years
I love this channel! ✌️ ❤️
Brilliant. Shannon blocks every blow with his face😂
😂😂😂
How he stood for so long taking those heavy punches from Vitali really surprised everyone.
I so enjoyed watching humility in action
Watched this live. What a joy it was... boy did I cheer for Klitschko.
This channel deserves more views and subscribers. Thank you for this
I have the utmost respect for Briggs to have the shrewd tactic of using his face to block all of Klitschkos punches......Well done Briggs 😵🥊😂
Klitschko is a real Viking.
Yeah full blooded khirgistan viking
Totally agree 👍!! Vitali was an exceptionally proficient technician for a man that big.
in the start of rd 5 a feel occurred... Klitsch was like you have nothing son.... after that it was over lol
Left side of Briggs head is still hurting today
LMAO, you the man Briggs.
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 face to fist style is revolutionary 😂

Remember watching the show, quite impressive that Shannon went the full fight!
Love how klitchsko could stand in the pocket and take that angle the whole fight, Briggs corner should of thrown in the towel
Its what we all expected but that was a horrendous 12 round beat down. A total mismatch in truth.

He zone out of real -time reality it seems ....who knows what stuff he swallowed or injected before the match .
The canned crowd reaction and cheers were great.

In Briggs defense, Vitali hitting you at will seems pretty par for the course when it comes to his fights.
