Word is Sultan has improved on his footwork and has trained really hard. The knee problems he had before the Austin fight have been worked out.
Sultan was 235 in the Austin fight. He has done the training and at 221 it shows his dedication to the gym.
Sultan is not concerned about Briggs size
because any advantage they get from that hugeness, is offset by quickness and footwork.
It has been reported that Briggs once refused to spar with Sultan because he was a lefty.:scared
It was also reported that Briggs was knocked down in sparring by Timour, Sultans cousin.:SIB
Your not supposed to get knocked down by a sparring partner.
Due to Briggs weight, lack of mobility, and weak
respiratory capacity, Briggs will be vulnerable to being surrounded and clocked from all angles by Sultans hard shots. This will cause Briggs to go into brain freeze and leave him open to going down like a tree trunk.
The only danger for Sultan is if he attempts a frontal assault too soon, and puts himself into
Brigg's wheelhouse and big counterpunch zone. That would not be a good place to be and Sultan has watched the tapes. Get it five rounds and Briggs will be staggering like a drunken man.
In Sultans past fights however he has been known to explode into frontal action if the other guy actually trys to punch him. Shannon Briggs is
fast-handed if he is anything. Sultan is fast enough to beat Briggs to the punch?and in combinations. Its a fact that Sultan throws as many punches in one round as Briggs has been able to throw in 5.
The only thing left to do is strap myself in, lay back, and enjoy the ride.
Oh yeh ...... Get ready to yell TIMBER !
