    Where is Lyakhovich?

    Has he retired or? He hasn't fought since february 2008, when he lost to Valuev. I was really surprised when he beat Brewster. That remains his only career highlight. Tough battle it was. Then he outboxed Briggs but got ktfo in the last minute of the bout. Tough luck. He's the only Belarussian boxer to ever win a world title.

    On the comeback trail, he just signed with Don King.

      Ah, cool. He needs to get back to the ring, he looked rusty against Valuev. But can you blame him for losing? He's not particularly fast or that much smaller than Valuev, so the advantage Chagaev had is clearly not there for him.

        He also suffered a shoulder injury in the fight with Valuev, don't think it would've changed the results though.

          He's not very good, I really don't want to see him in a title fight again. His fight against Briggs was as slow paced as HW boxing gets.

          I'd much rather see match ups with the younger more exciting HWs like Haye, Arreola, Chambers, Povetkin etc.

            I expected him to go further after that gr8 fight wit Lamon. But he crashed hard in a **** fight wit Briggs and looks like he was a 1 fight wonder.

              He was beating Briggs until the last minute or so. Was there even a minute left? Briggs was a lucky bastard there.

                So now King will keep him inactive for another year or two.

                Sergey is being ****** to sign again with King.
