    Round 7

    Helenius throws a 1-2-3 at Liakhovich's head and finds the smaller heavyweight less fluid now, his head a bit easier to find. Liakhovich backs him off with a wide-cutting flurry. Helenius inches toward him, and leans against him caged by his own forearms. Liakhovich has adopted a Mayweather-style stances and is trying to slap away jabs with his right glove and defend with slight turns of his left shoulder. High jabs into the face by Liakhovich, who comes forward for just a moment before luring Helenius in again. Hooks land for Liakhovich. Double jab sends Helenius' hair flying out behind him. Helenius is throwing slow combos and not hitting very much. Liakhovich is ducking and hooking his way in past the asteroid field.

    69-64 Liakhovich

    7 round was closer, but Liakhovich won it

    Helenius bruises like a banana.


    WW on the other hand is bloodied.


    Helenius is not ready for either Klitschko. he needs at least 2 more years.

    10-9 Liakhovich (70-63)


    Big guy just can't get through Liakhovich's gloves.

    And Sergei is able to land almost at will.

    You can tell Sergei boxed with brothers in the US, he has the nice shoulder guard and is really slipping and rolling Helenius's punches beautifully. He is also continuing his assualt on Hellneus's body but it seems he is making the shift to attacking him upstairs more.

    7 - 0 Sergei

    Agreed, but they are all in line and ahem making nice with the WBA to meet Povetkin.

    I was nearly sold on Helenius. Looks like he's going down a notch.

    German TV has Helenius slightly ahead.

    If he said that, he is more shameless than I thought.

    I hope Helenius loses tonight. Might be the best thing that could happen for him if he learns from the loss, get into MUCH better shape and finds himself a new trainer!
