Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Liakhovich Fight in The Works For June 4?

[nomadman]

Lyakhovich was injured vs Valuev and fought most the fight with 1 arm. As far as a warmup fight for Adamek goes he's a good choice imo. He's bigger, hits harder, just as tough, and is mobile he has some of the better footowork in the HW division. Good choice to prepare for Adamek.

Liakhovich doesn't fight much like Adamek at all, neither does he bring to the ring the sorts of traits that Adamek possesses, namely speed, movement and quick blistering combinations. Liakhovich is ponderous, slowish and tends to throw single shots or one twos behind his pumping jab. Where Adamek avoids punches with his zippy footwork and lateral movement, Liakhovich just stands there hands up and absorbs the shots on the gloves (and chin). Vitali doesn't need to fight someone who's tough and hits hard, he needs to fight someone with movement and quickness.

Liakhovich at this point would be good preparation for Sam Sexton, not Adamek.

never heard of him.

As good a fight as any right now, considering Haye and Adamek are already lined up and the rest of the contenders have already been defeated (except Valuev who won't take the fight, so).

He the perfect stay-active opponent for Vitali.

What the hell happened to the Adamek fight? If this fight is any more but a tuneup there is no way that happens 3 months later.

Vitali fought Kevin Johnson less than three months after he fought Chris Arreola.

Yeah but he beat Chris down and easily won. Vitali had nothing lined up right after that fight also. If Vitali doesn't win this fight easily, which I'm not sure he will then it will mess up the plans with Adamek. I would of rather him not take this fight and just wait till the September fight. He doesn't really need this fight and the Adamek fight is actually a really big fight that people really are interested in. It would be a shame if Vitali messed this up.
