Emanuel Steward says that it's going to be a "nightmare" and a "real rough storm" for Wlad.
"ES: I can't really say but I know one thing Wladimir is going to have to be very alert, and be ready to with stand a real rough storm. Samuel Peter is slow, he is going to throw just that one or two clubbing punches and that is about it, so I never had that much fear about him, but Shannon can put punches together, combinations with both hands and maintain good balance while he is punching, it is going to be a nightmare and we are going to try to with stand that storm, and hope that half way through the fight we start taking control."
Start taking control halfway through the fight?? Okay, but it might be too late by then.
He also said that Briggs "has the fastest hands than anybody with power and is physically a big man, and his biggest problem was him staying focused on training but if he ever gets intense he is the most difficult guy you [Wlad] could ever fight. For three or four rounds he is extremely dangerous..."
Unless this is just "gamesmanship," he's very worried about Briggs.
He also said something a little cryptic about the Brewster fight, "I know things that went on before and during that fight." What the heck does that mean?
Also, Steward thinks that Jack Johnson's victories weren't that "impressive." I found that interesting.
