Liakhovich To Protest Briggs Loss, Seeks Rematch

[!! Mr. Soprano]

The Ref looked into Lyko's eyes and knew that there was no way he could get up.

There would be a bigger controversy if Lyko was given the opportunity to win by score card.

Hey Kid...

HTF do you know what the ref knew when he looked into Liakhoviches eyes? " "

They are not making a case of reversing the decision... they are talking about a rematch

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I didn't see the fight. I heard that Briggs had his asthma problems and basically did very little yet was trailing by a margin of 3 points on at least one score card.

Just how bad was this fight?

You got an asthmatic who was holding back for the full 12 rounds.

And a champ who didn't take advantage?

Was this a fight or a tango?

Oh and you didn't see the fight all together... interesting.

You have a huge talent.... knowing what went on in referee's mind without even seeing the fight!

That's POWER!

I saw the youtube version of the 12th round. Does that count? I mean....it's the Showtime version of it. That good enough for ya, precious?

And did that come with a script of what went on in the ref's mind?

sounds to me like Lyco's got a good case here. It's the long count reversed lol! a rematch sounds fair anyway, Briggs was losing the fight but saved it with one punch right at the death. If you ask me, a rematch is definitely in order, and if Lyco wins that there should be a rubber match. Plain and simple. A boxing match should decide who the better fighter is - that's not happened here so there is definitely a case for a rematch.

Another thing - well done to Shannon Briggs. You gotta say the guy's a true warrior. Say what you like about his skill but he punches like a ****ing sherman tank and is a worthy champ in my eyes.

Why do you think he waved off the fight? Is his actions not enough evidence of that? He knew the fight was out of Sergi. He knew the fight was pretty much over. KO. End of story. Jesus Christ.

I think a rematch would be in order too. We all know that for Briggs this is only about money, and what better way than a rematch with Sergei? With the dramatic ending of their first fight people are bound to come see the next fight, provided Sergei comes to fight in shape this time.

[SnoopySmurf]

And they're protesting what? The way the fight was concluded? Do they want to change it to a No Contest?

Should have put in a Rematch Clause just in case.

[K-DOGG]

Huh. Well, that's legitimate. If there's any justice, and this information is correct, he's got a case.

You have no clue on what you are talking about, do you?

The whole case is that the ref did not hear the bell, that is why he waved the fight off is to save Liakhovich from any more punishment.

Should the final bell have sounded, the ref should have counted to 20, giving him a chance to get up.

IMO, they have a very good case

This is very similar to Chaves / Meldrick Taylor
