Liakhovich To Protest Briggs Loss, Seeks Rematch

[!! Mr. Soprano]

The bell did NOT sound until AFTER the ref waved it off. So there was no bell to hear coz it never sounded until AFTER the ref waved off the fight.

That is the whole point genius...

[Leo Pradun]

Couldn't possibly be any worse than Maskaev's defense.

If anything, Briggs seems like he's very eager to unify. He really wants the fight with Wlad and I'm willing to bet he'd take Valuev on in a hearbeat.

who cares what he wants, don king owns his ass and no way hes gonna allow briggs to fight Klitschko without any options, and Klitschko wont go for any of kings **** and I dont think he will put valuev up against briggs either...

Now former WBO Heavyweight Champion Sergei “The White Wolf” Liakhovich and his manager Ivaylo Gotzev are preparing an interesting case for review, in hopes of being granted an immediate rematch against Shannon Briggs. [details]

he lost fair and square. he was "knocked the *** out"

rematch will be boring and will only prove that shannon knocked him out. as he will do it again.

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Read my reply again. Slowly. The bell didn't ring until after the ref waved off the fight.

.... and it should have sounded when the 3 minutes were up

I haven't seen this fight, but just out of curiousity, was the fight that close? If there wouldn't have been a knockout, would Liakhovich have had a chance to win, if not then I don't see the point of this debate if the fight was already lost.

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Briggs has a HOT girlfriend!

who, you???

Supposedly Sergei was up on all the cards, but didn't seem to have the legs to stay away from Briggs.

[Leo Pradun]

I believe it did and this is the key question and this is why the fight should be null and void.

Something was f'ing wrong with Ly. that night.




ww

he was hurt reall bad by briggs thats was wrong wit him

[Mr. Ryan]

actually he may have a case, i heard from people there that something was ****ed with the clock, that the TKO came after time had run out, the time keeper was unable to ring the round over as Liakhovich was on their table, but who knows how this will play out.

My assessment is that the WBO will take the high road, deny his appeal, and order him back for an automatic return match.

[Kid Achilles]

After cooling down and thinking this over, I think an immediate rematch is the best course of action. Stripping Briggs wouldn't be right.
