Personally...I think Briggs KO's Lyachovich...because in the end...that kid aint got shit.
Wlad is a joke, really he is. A big one at that too. Lyakovich certainly has a much better chin than Wlad, and greater stamina. So how is he shat? Cus he outgutted and beat a guy who outgutted and beat Wladimir? That makes a lot of sense. People honestly Wlad is nothin to get excited about. I love how Klit fans flip flop between which ever brother is doing good at the time. First it was all about Wlad then after his KO loss to Sanders, and Vitali's above average showing against an outta shape Lennox Lewis, it was all about the mighty Vitali! Then Vitali makes a whopping ONE title defense against a fat slob, and it takes him way too long to KO the slob, and then postpones the Rahman fight 3 times and retires. Wlad then gets a good win over Peter after two sub par fights and then he's God again. Now he's beaten a guy he already thrashed, Byrd, and won a alphabet title, and suddenly hes an unbeatable Powerhouse. I don't buy it. I think Lyakovich will be a tougher fight for Briggs really, he's an all round more solid guy than Wlad, just doesn't punch as hard. The division is pretty much DOOMED IMO, and Wlad sure as hell is not the savior.
