    According to finnish media! A good matchup! Liakhovich is a tricky opponent and I think his tank is not empty yet. Interesting to see is he mentally prepared? Against Valuev he was there only to survive but in his latest comeback fights he hasn't looked that bad.. But for me this is very interesting match up! Any thoughts?

    Good choice of opponent.

    Liakhovich can give him the precious ring experience Helenius needed.

    Helenius should be fighting americans! Like Thomson, Rahman, Lawrence, Mitchel

    Arreola, Chamber on later dates

    Man, three former champs. Can't get much better preparation than that.

    That's damned admirable of him. If I were managing him, as I've said, I'd probably give him some filler fights to work on things that need tweaked after the learning experience with Peter. But, they're keeping him challenged. It's so much the opposite of what Arreola got...and is getting right now. ...This is the type of fight we should be seeing Arreola in, if he's "serious" as claimed. This is not a Nagy Aguilera. Chris should punch himself in the face while reading this, really.

    Robert should tone up a bit though.

    Nice pick. Liakovich knows this is his last chance. An upset vs. Helenius could put him right back into the top 10 in a couple of the sanctioning bodies and probably closer to a voluntary title shot.

    If Helenius wins then it's another win over a solid name.
