Wladimir Klitschko and Shannon Briggs Brawl Over Bowl of Pasta

[Russian Rocket]

this shit is too funny Briggs has to be on drugs

From TMZ:

Current heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko and ex-champ Shannon Briggs went at it in a Miami restaurant in a scene straight out of Rocky III -- and now we have the video.

TMZ Sports broke the story … Klitschko was enjoying a bowl of pasta at Mama Mia's Italian restaurant on Friday when Briggs walked in and started taunting Wlad by eating food out of his bowl. You gotta see what happens after that, but it gets ugly for Briggs. As we told you, he ended up going to the hospital to get glass removed from his foot.

The whole scene is awesome and bizarre -- but kinda stinks of Clubber Lang-Rocky Balboa. Especially since this scuffle went down just days after Briggs similarly interrupted a Klitschko training session.

Both camps swear the beef is real, and not just promotion.

90/95% it was staged, just like 90/95% of boxing promotional "out of the ring fights and jawing" are.

questions:

- how did he know where Wladi was having lunch?

- why was the place basically empty except for an onlooker who had a cell phn video cam ready to go?

- when wladi poured the water over his head, why did briggs throw all the plates off the table and literally backed up while doing so, instead of doing what any boxer's instincts would tell him, which would be to take a swing at wladi?

- why did briggs only start to go really ballistic and try to "charge" wladi, when briggs was already being held back by a couple of his own people?

oh yea, because the whole thing was staged so it can be used in the promotion of a possible deal for them to fight.

lame. let's move on.

No wonder nobody knows who the champion is in any boxing weight class anymore. What a joke of a sport this has become.
