Just realised we left a fight out for tonight...

I really hate when ITV stick a mic in a boxer's face just after he has stepped out of the ring. Arthur is an articulate lad though.

Arthur sure has a 'boxers' nose.

Briggs got the win last night, and boy did he leave it late.

The Referee called the fight at 2:59 in the 12th round.

Briggs was well behind going into the 12th round and needed a stoppage. Near the end he got a knockdown, and when Liakhovich got up, Briggs unloaded again, and Liakhovich went through the ropes.

Was not a good fight though, was quite boring until the end, Liakhovich's gameplan was to avoid being hit, and Briggs' seemed to be trying not to run out of gas from the 5th onwards.

Still it was nice to see Briggs win a belt though. I would expect him to get a huge media boost across the Atlantic now, him being the only American to hold a belt will have the Yanks talking him up like the second coming for a bit.

2.59 in the 12th round?

Ha Ha.

Hois opponent must be gutted.

Briggs is quoted on the BCC as saying 'if i had not won this fight otnight i'd have gone home and shot myself in the head'

Boxers, mental? na.
