Liakhovich To Protest Briggs Loss, Seeks Rematch

[SnoopySmurf]

PS He's not in la la land after that first knockdown. He immediately starts getting up (from what wasn't even that great of a punch to begin with) with little difficulty other than fatigue and rests on the rope. The ref looks into his eyes, sees that he is clearly fit to continue despite how tired or hurt he may look on the video (in other words, he is clear eyed, not concussed), and allows him to continue.

He could barely defend himself from an asthmatic heavyweight. He was loopy from the first knockdown coz his head was swirling. If you think that punch was a push, you should work for the Ministry of Propoganda.

face it: Sergei got crushed either way you look at it.

all i know is that my bro is one lucky ****er as he won a 1000 bucks on that fight.

[!!Captain]

Yes, yes he does. She was the greatest thing about that fight. She, and Sergei's wife. I'd love to see the two of them get it on (in either sense of the phrase).

I'm sure we would see A LOT more action than we saw in their men's performance.

As for the loss, I think Sergei deserved to lose that fight. He was in poor shape mentally and physically that night, didn't do **** in the ring, could not adjust to Briggs counter punches and kind of gave up by the round 8 IMO. If he is the man, he should fight a couple of top 20 fighters and get himself back in the game, not let his crybaby manager Gotzev speak nonsense for him.

If I were Serg, I'd go after the drug-test results for Shannon...

How long did it take for James Toney's test to come back hot after his bout?

[beez721]

i cant believe i have to downgrade sergei from #2 heavyweight to #1 crybaby all in a weeks time

he does have a case if this is true. either way he is not championship caliber and he's lucky brewster was ill prepared when they fought or he'd have vistited the cement that night as well

[Kid Achilles]

If you lost your title to a ****up with the clock, you would do the same.

[beez721]

What I don't understand is how Lycanthropy was ahead on all three cards going into the twelfth round.

easy. becuase briggs wasnt throwing any punches

[ejk22]

Lyakhovich just lost a ton of respect by many in the boxing community. The respect he gained beating Brewster just went out the door with this nonsense. Why doesn't Lyakhovich look at the video of his pathetic performance against Briggs. The only reason Lyakhovich was ahead on points was due to Briggs inactivity.

[Leo Pradun]

yeah, i would almost agree with that. thing is, just try to imagine who briggs/king would pick for a title defence. tony thompson, matt skelton, or worse - maybe somebody outside of the top ten in the wbo.

mike mollo or andrew golota, I hope the wbo doesnt screw around cause they have a 90 day order for the wbo champ to face Ibragimov...
