Nikolay Valuev vs Serguei Lyakhovich - RBR -

[El Gamo]

Have some rep Jhonny,awesome work. I really thought Lyakovich was going to be a main player in the division after that FOTY contender with Brewster a while back,but he's done nothing since and has looked poor.

....so am I correct in making the judgement that Lyakhovich made Valuev look so good instead of Valuev actually looking like a better fighter than he actually is?

What I read on fightnews.com the Valuev camp believed that Nicolay looks a lot better than he has ever looked before....honestly that's not a hard thing to do, especially vs a guy who didn't land jack crap!

I really did too Gamo. I was all behind him for the Briggs fight and was more excited for that fight than i had a hw fight in a long time. Needless to say it didn't live up to the hype. SL must be an idiot for not running like a schoolgirl in the remaining time in that fight. I think he has no confidence and is afraid to get hit now. However I will continue to support the White Wolf, however I do not think I can back him in the prediction contest.

Valuev speaks...

Just like the millions watching on TV, promoter Wilfried Sauerland could not believe his eyes. "Not in my wildest dreams would I have expected something like that," the manager enthused following the Russian Giant´s shut-out victory over highly-rated ex-champ Sergey Liakhovich. "He finally showed what he is capable of doing. That was the best Valuev ever." In a WBA eliminator in Nurnberg, the biggest and tallest champion of all time jabbed his way to a unanimous decision against a quality opponent. Valuev won every single round on all three scorecards (120-108, 120-108, 120-107). "I am very pleased with my performance," he said. "I really wanted the rematch with Chagaev. I am looking forward to it.
