The Night Vitali Klitschko Humbled Briggs 

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.

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

I can’t believe no one stopped this fight earlier

Briggs is a hell of a defensive boxer. He was able to block every punch with his face. Impressive.

Absolutely baffled how Briggs survived and stayed standing. That's insane

Klitschko reprogrammed Briggs' vocabulary to 3 words: Lets Go Champ

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.

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

You have to love Klimtschko always a gentleman In and out of the ring .

Briggs literally got the shit kicked out of him for the whole fight

Briggs got a lesson in humility.

Klitschko brothers - amazing fighters, gentlemans, legends...

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

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...

Vitali is so underrated

I can't believe Briggs corner would let him continuously take a beating.

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.

Loved every minute of this beatdown

Klitschko was one tough dude

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

Left side of Briggs head is still hurting today

He got hit with the same punch over and over again 😂

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.

Briggs looked like a meatball with ears, helplessly getting his face smashed. It was fun to watch. Let’s go champ!

Brilliant. Shannon blocks every blow with his face😂

Fun Fact: Klitchko is also the mayor of Kyiv, Ukraine. He could be anywhere in the world but he loves his hometown.

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

They should have never let it go so long. That could have killed this guy.

Klitschko is a real Viking.

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

Vitali was so underrated, let his brother have the limelight but he was absolute nails

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.

This channel deserves more views and subscribers. Thank you for this

how briggs survived that beatdown is stunning to watch

Briggs looked like a punching bag. He’s gotta have some serious Drain Bramage.

Vitali avoided knocking out Briggs so he could punish and humiliate him more.

Its what we all expected but that was a horrendous 12 round beat down. A total mismatch in truth.

That's how you use your height advantage against an opponent...what a beatdown

The Klitschko will stand as boxing greats. Tall, strong, fast, tough, well trained, and smart is a formidable combination.

I so enjoyed watching humility in action

Briggs Must Have Been Zombified From Medication Or Something To Not Drop , After Taking All The Those Sledge Hammer Hits From Vitali. 💫

That man was toying with him the entire way. Wasn't trying to knock him down. He just wanted to punish and embarrass him.

Watched this live. What a joy it was... boy did I cheer for Klitschko.

Shannon tore a tendint in his arm in the 2nd round and went 12 rounds with one of boxings hardest punchers with one arm

This is not humbled but destroyed

Klitschko actually held back

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 😵🥊😂

He just didn’t want to hurt his hands

Give that dude credit for standing in there as long as he did.

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.

Damn ... This almost wasn't even fair. Always admired the Klitschkos. But this was a pain clinic.

How he stood for so long taking those heavy punches from Vitali really surprised everyone.

Remember watching the show, quite impressive that Shannon went the full fight!

Briggs blocks a lot of punches with his face.

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.

The only logical conclusion to this fight going the distance is that the ref enjoyed it.

This fight ends in like around 7 in 2023. There's no way it goes the distance nowadays

Damn weren’t those shots calculated and executed? And Briggs. Cocky, but amazing he was able to take a beating like that. I haven’t seen many that could.

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

No one could take that much punishment and make it to the bell. Heart of a lion 🦁 champ

The biggest troll before trolling lol

Shannon is a larger than life character 🥊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

in the start of rd 5 a feel occurred... Klitsch was like you have nothing son.... after that it was over lol

I don't understand the language the commentator speaks but often I hear the same words and I can only conclude that they mean "holy shit".

Not a fight, an abuse 😂😂

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.

Man can take one hell of a beating.

I love this channel! ✌️ ❤️

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.

vitali's reach is so far he can hit you from his corner!! plus it helps he is a doctor by profession so he knows when and where to hit someone

I have watched this fight over 100 times..and I am watching it again..seeing Briggs smashed over & over..just warms my heart..

I wonder how many boxers showed up in the hospital to check on their opponents state. Respect to both of them for this fight.

Round three "You're not hurting me Vlad", Round four "Nope Vlad that all you got?", Round 11 "Ok Vlad, and you Vlad, and the other Vlad three onto one eh?"

Briggs chin was pretty awesome , give him that

Briggs fighting strategy "if I stay still long enough, maybe he will miss."

Klitschko just taught Briggs a great lesson

Love how klitchsko could stand in the pocket and take that angle the whole fight, Briggs corner should of thrown in the towel

Briggs is not even trying to defend himself or even throw a punch !

As Wlad once said “I had to learn how to fight, my brother Vitali was born to fight”

I didn't know Barnum's clowns wore dreadlocks! I'm learning something new everyday.

LMAO, you the man Briggs.

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

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.

Vitaly is a true gentleman. Actually both Klitschko brothers are.

Biggs standing there with the look of why you hitting me bro? Homie never knew the bell had a reason ...

Briggs face to fist style is revolutionary 😂

The canned crowd reaction and cheers were great.

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

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

I just loved how Briggs blocked every punch with his face.

Vitali is a class boxer and a class politician.

The mistake people make. Wlad is the one with the glass jaw. Vitali was gonna eat your best shots.

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

Vitali was a terrifying opponent - no power shots, no body shots, wanted to keep him on his feat and beat him for 12 rounds, pure punishment

I have great deal of respect for Briggs because he kept taking the punches one after another and still kept standing

A disgrace this fight wasn't stopped.

I doubt I could knock Shannon out with a baseball bat. Jesus Christ.

Shannon the Cannon really put the hurt on Klitschko's hands.

Didn't know they did PPV training fights😂. Imagine paying to watch someone hit a punching bag for an hour

Imagine being punched so many times in a heavy weight mach and not being knocked out....
