SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
Sergei Liakhovich is the new WBO Heavyweight champion by virtue of a
well earned unanimous decision over Lamon Brewster.
After twelve action paced rounds the scoring was ; 115-113, 115-112
and 117-110 all in favor of the new champion, Sergei Liakhovich.
This will have to be considered as a major upset. For now though,
Sergei has put himself in a position for a major payday and a chance to
prove he is the best heavyweight in the world. He made a lot of believers
tonight. What an outstanding performance.
Hats off to my friend Kenny Weldon, the trainer of Sergei. He has told
me since I met him what a good fighter Liakhovich was.
I believe Kenny...I believe !

Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
Hats off to the guy. He got a title shot and made the most of it. . . . . . . even if it was against a tomato can like Lame Man Brewster.
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
he can take head shots like crazy, maybee even the headshots of big vladdy, tho he seems vunerable to body punches, so i think he would have alot of trouble lasting 12 with sultan,
he dominated the fuck out of brewster tho,
for that he is the man :thumb:
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
What makes him the man, Sal? Because he beat a B level fighter like Brewster? Far as I'm concerned he still hasn't proven himself.
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
no, he is the man because he showed the world that brewster is a joke :)
there were people who thought he was better then all 3 other champs

Brewster is the only thing interesting in the Heavy weight division right now. He makes a fight interesting win or lose he puts on a good fight. That is what the division needs right now. They have to many huggers up there, they need fighters that are willing to actually fight and not plod around for 36 minutes.

agreed :coolclick:
brewster though sorely lacking in key skills is very interesting to watch....you just dont know what to expect....
with a few key adjustments im sure brewster will comeback and be very competitive in the rematch...

Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
That was a great fight. Both guys showed tons of heart and class. Anybody thinks that Brewster isn't a class act must be crazy. That guy puts it on the line. He just got beat by a more determined man last night.
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
I've been pulling for Lamon, and will continue to. Sergei beat the snot out of him. What gets me, is how Brewster reminds me of Tua. Alot of power and potential, but not a smart fighter. Any boxer who drops a guy with only a few body shots, and then doesn't go immediately back to the body, and pound the snot out of him, isn't thinking very clearly. Maybe he was stunned, but I don't think Brewster jumped on the oppurtunity, and McGirt should have instructed him better IMO. Maybe Brewster didn't listen, who knows. Very good fight, Sergei was the better man, but IMO, Brewster had the chance to win, and didn't take it.

Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
i felt the same way,
it seemed all he needed to do was throw some body shots

You can't tell me you don't like watching Wladimir fight!He is the most technically skilled Heavyweight right now with speed ,power and acuracy.HE has 45 wins with 40 KO's!How is that not exciting? ::**

Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
people think that chris byrd is the best boxer at HW,
he is NOWHERE near the skill of big vladdy, who is faster stronger AND more accurate :)

I dont know what it is but the Klit brothers just do not excite me. I know he has the skills, but he needs to improve his conditioning. The guy has technically never been KOed. The only times that he has been KOed is when he has ran out of gas. I would rather see someone with the ability to go the 12. I know he went the distance with Peter, but if Peter was a better boxer he would have won by KO or TKO.

Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
peter only caught him with a legitimate KD once, the other times he pushed him down, and the one KD he did manage was caused by a punch landed with NIETHER of big vladdys feet on the floor

I'd have to say that his KO by Sanders was a pretty convincing KO. He was hardly tired after one round and a bit, though I'll give him credit for getting back up after each KD, he was in no state to continue.
Wlad Klits fights aren't really much to get excited about nowadays either, if his fight with Peter is anything to go by.
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
Wlad was TKO'd not KO'd he has never been down for a 10 count (not that it really matters)
Vitali has never been knocked down
I told you Lamon's lazy ass would get beat!!! Lamon is a good puncher he doesn't need to try and box I knew McGirt was going to help him lose. If Brewster needs a new trainer he needs one to make him move his head and throw short punches....ROONEY, yes that style has flaws but for as good as his chin and his power are it's such a good fit for him.
Wlad and Serguei have sparred a lot and it has been said that they both went for blood. I will go out on a limb and say Wlad-Liahkovich is going to be a fight of the year candidate. Wlad can attack the body and he hits harder than Serguei and Lamon, he was able to floor Brewster which is pretty good. Serguei has 14 KO's I think he has a chance to outbox pretty much anyone but let us not forget he was KO'd by Maurice Harris!
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
The Peter fight isn't anything to go by...that is the ONE AND ONLY TIME he has ever fought like that. Wlad is a good fighter but he uses his head, people criticize his chin then want him to stand toe to toe with Sam Peter??? That's the stupidest bullcrap ever....never saw Lennox do it vs David Tua why complain about Wlad so damn much? Being able to beat a guy on points after getting knocked down 3 times isn't good enough?!?!?!

I'm just worried that the two knockout losses have made Wlad gunshy, and that he'll adopt the same tactic in his fights from now on, though he shouldn't have to against the likes of Byrd. Good point about LL being cautious against big punchers, the only difference is that wlad seems to have lost all confidence in his chin.
When LL was knocked out by Rahman, he might not have been reckless in the rematch, but he certainly wasn't backing off on his jab for twelve rounds.
I'm convinced that Wlad wasn't even hurt that badly by Peter (he didn't land anything clean), and that he only went down because he didn't believe in his ability to take a shot. Hopefully the fact that he got through the Peter fight may have given him some of the confidence back.
-
Re: SERGEI, SERGEI, SERGEI !!!
Wlad is not gunshy but he respects the counter to his right cross. He wants to dominate with the jab, left hook more too because both are harder to counter with a KO punch ( a hook puts you in a defensive postion after it's thrown). After seeing Sam Peter KO Jeremy Williams (granted he has a crystal chin) Wlad knew he had to be cautious about Sam's power even if he had enough power to KO Sam (which it looks like he did). That fight was do or die for Wlad and I think he was a little nervous but vs Byrd he's fighting a guy he beat the absolute shit out of before in Germany and I think he'll be relaxed for this fight the key is not to let him get relaxed vs heavy handed punchers....he has to keep the jab out there and weather their power any way he can
