i think he means in his eyes.

it was a very good fight. i havnt seen heavies fight like that in a very long time. the 5th round was the best round i've seen in like 2years

Great fight, but not the best ever. :eek:


I know but it was the best fight in many, many years! Total power shots back and forth the entire fight! That was Rocky 6!

You are either Russian, or you have never seen any of the Holyfield-Bowe fights.

Good ass fight man.. I hope they fight again. I thought Brewster would KO him while he hurted him. But i was wrong. Both good fighters. Sergi is fast and hits hard. He deserves the title.

Yeah Sergei kind of had a Calzaghe thing going on with that hand speed (not the same defense though). I swore this fight was over 10 different times going in both directions. How did you score the knockdown and the 9th round where BRewster was out on his feet? I went 2 point rounds both times and I gave the 12th to Brewster to make it 114-112. That ref was awful. He botched the end of the one round and I think he wasn't going to step in and make sure a fighter was ok no matter what. Someone could have got killed. He wasn't even yelling in to the battered guy to say to throw back which you usually see.

i stayed awake during a heavyweight fight....

Not the best ever, but it's definitely the fight of the year so far.

That was the best qote in a long time! Props man!

I never seen those fights live either its not the same watching a fight after its already played out live.

I saw those fights live but it has been so long since there has been such a back and forth powerfest that it seems like the best. I was just kidding when I said it was the best but know doubt it was great! I don't know if Brewster will ever be the same. He is definately gonna stutter in a couple of years from all the punishment he takes in every fight.

I guess you can say it was the best heavyweight fight in a long time, possibly right next to Wlad vs Peter in the time span following Vitali vs Lewis.

the 12th to Brewster to make it 114-112. That ref was awful

Sergei won the last round very easily. I think you are the only person who has scored it this way.

I feel you bro...

True that..
The thing that killed it for me was that Brewster lost...:(

Great heavyweight scrap!!! Sergei def won, but Brewster just won't quit. they both took huge punches. i thought Brewster turned the tide in the 7th, but liakhovich came back. the problem still in this division is that anybody can beat anybody else at any dam time!!!!!! nobody stands out from the pack, but i could deal with more fights like this

****in buzzed I Am ****eddddddddd

Come on guys, both guys deserve the props for the best HW fight I've seen in years. How can you compare this to Toney/Rahman, Toney/Ruiz or Byrd's fight? The only fight that even comes close was Lewis/Vitali. This is what HW division needed for a long time.

****in buzzed I Am ****eddddddddd
Same here man, same here...

That was the greatest heavy weight fight I ever saw! Congratulations Sergei! Brewster has the greatest heart ever as well! Wow, what a fight!

A great fight indeed, but the greatest ever? I don't know, i'll have to think about that.

Listen... good fight, sure. But Ali-Frazier 3 puts that fight to SHAME!!!!!! Come on, Frazier landing big huge shots.. ALI landing COMBINATIONS in succession... guys today land three punches in a row and everybody gets crazy.. Ali at his peak would repeatredly lands five or six FLUSH shots in a row on opponents.

That was a great fight. Hat's off to both fighters. Liakhovich and Brewster both showed heart and determination. This is what championship boxing should be.

I think he just was excited and meant to say that it was one of the greatest heavyweight fights he's seen in a while.

it had alot of drama, i never thought it would make it to the end. the ref gave brewster alot of leeway, which i think is good because his rep tells you that he can come back. brewster threw one combo to the body all fight, and it made sergei take a knee. that was a huge mistake. but sergei's body work was excellent

It was a great fight.Back and forth action throughout.Lyakhovich showed me a lot tonight and I was impressed.He took some vicious shots and gave some vicious shots.Fight of the Year no doubt.I would love to see a rematch.This fight is what the hw division needed.

Hey, what was up with the ref stopping the action and ordering the guys to their corners with six seconds left in the round?

I have something to say. Brewster's chin is too strong for his own good. If he keeps taking beatings like this, he is going to end up with some form of brain injury.

Yeah I felt Sergei ran away for too much of the round to win it though I concede the threw a good amount in the 2nd half of the round but I felt on the whole round-he played it safe and lost the round. Didn't matter though since my card needed 2 knockdowns to force a draw

Hey, what was up with the ref stopping the action and ordering the guys to their corners with six seconds left in the round?

Yeah, i thought it was very odd...

Great fight but lets get real.

Bowe v.s. Holyfield 1 made this look like a school play.

Yeah, i thought it was very odd...

On second check I think there might have been a discrepacny with Showtimes watch and ringside watch that got the ref confused, but yes at first I thought it was a fixed fight when that happened. The reason I say this is lateer round there was 5 seconds left on Showtimes watch and the bell rang.

I feel you bro...

True that..
The thing that killed it for me was that Brewster lost...:(

I know man! I got a little over excited when I started this thread but what made this such a great fight was how tough Lamon is! How long has it been since we've seen two great chins like this? This was a total slugfest besides a little bit of jabbing by Lyakhovich. This fight deserves a rematch. I don't know if these guys could put up such a great fight again knowing how bad they must be hurting right now.

def. a veery good fight

sergi is only 29 I am happy.. i hope he can fight Byrd Ruiz somebody before he fights lamon again. Lamon needs to fight a espn 2 FIGHT TO PROVE HE IS STILL IN THE TOP 15 HEAVYS OUT THERE he should fight the winner of GuinnVHarrison.

I fell asleep at like 9:30 aint that a *****...hopefully they'll replay the fight today

i agree they both took real good shots there were times were i thought the fight was going to be over for one of them....the hw div. has not had a good fight like this in a long, long, long time probablly since tua vs. ike .....this is def. the front runner for foy so far ..

Great fight but lets get real.

Bowe v.s. Holyfield 1 made this look like a school play.

Ali - Frazier III makes most HW fights looks like first day of preschool

fought at a slower pace...maybe Lewis vs Vitali...yes Lewis was out of shape and both men are just large and pretty slow...but it was very good for their size...both men were holding on...I had it even while most had Vitali by a round

i feel asleep after round 2 i couldnt stand that **** now that i know its good i will have to watch it again.

Great fight but lets get real.

Bowe v.s. Holyfield 1 made this look like a school play.


I think it is just because Sergei and Brewster were not as significant. This fight caught me by surprise. I was like, "oh ****, they are fighting." Both were getting hit hard. Nevertheless, this fight, if it were bigger names, would be an instant classic. It was that good.

eurpeans are taking over the division...

Bowe was not that big a name at heavyweight when they fought. He was a former sparring partner of Evander's and Holy was expected to walk right though him.

Anyways....back to the topic.

The fight itself was better than Liakahovic v.s. Brewster because there was even more drama, and the punches landed were so furious and at such an astonishing pace for heavyweights it was unreal.

best fight ive seen in years, judges scorecards were a bit wierd as usual in a don king fight

That was the greatest heavy weight fight I ever saw! Congratulations Sergei! Brewster has the greatest heart ever as well! Wow, what a fight!

You REALLY need to watch more boxing. :rolleyes:

It really was one of the best heavyweight fights in years. I can't disagree with that.

eurpeans are taking over the division...
as far as the HW division is concerned, that would be "eastern" europeans. (Huge difference)

It really was one of the best heavyweight fights in years. I can't disagree with that.


It was good, but saying it was the best ever?

Come on.

No way was it the best ever. But I'd say the best since Bowe-Holyfield 1 which says a lot.

What have you been smoking?

This was good, but some of you are making way too much of it.

Name some heavyweight fights that were better in recent history.

Name some heavyweight fights that were better in recent history.

Reccently, Brian Minto vs Vinny Maddalone, Beck vs Barrett, Mesi vs Jirov,

Going a bit farther back: Lewis vs Vitali, Tua vs Ibeabucchi, Grant vs Golota, Rahman vs Sanders

90's: Tyson Holyfield, Lewis Mercer, Mercer Holyfield, Morrison Ruddock,

The list goes on.

Bottom line: the title of this thread is ridiculous, and there have been a ton of better fights since the 1st Bowe Holyfield fight.

You REALLY need to watch more boxing. :rolleyes:


I backed off that statement like 3 posts later you sore *****. :bottle: You're just mad because you were wrong as usual.

Oh, by the way, who got banned? Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa

Reccently, Brian Minto vs Vinny Maddalone, Beck vs Barrett, Mesi vs Jirov,


no... i don't think these fights were as good as Likhovich vs Brewster

no... i don't think these fights were as good as Likhovich vs Brewster


they aren't close to the brewster liakhovich fight, in fact mesi vs jirov was a joke for 8 rounds, mesi was killing the guy. it was boring as hell. what's that guy smoking?

what's that guy smoking?

i have always been wondering ........

i have always been wondering ........

He is just a bitter, wounded, spitefull, little gir... Ah forget it! :D

no... i don't think these fights were as good as Likhovich vs Brewster

And you saw how many of those fights?
:rolleyes:

I'd say Beck v.s. Barrett was about equal to this fight in discussion. Similar circumstances, highly entertaining, both guys faced adversity.

I think since alot of us were starving for a real heavyweight fight we began to savor it a little too much.
