Could SERGUEI LYAKHOVICH possibly win another belt?

It's hard to say he's sitting on the sidelines watching the train go by. He's inactivity is his problem

 

Yes he could

 

so true. I thought i saw his picture on the side of milk carton a couple days ago.

Talent is clearly there, but his work ethic seems like a major problem.

 

That's true and a bit sad at the same time. I think his ego took the biggest shot that night vs. Briggs.

I think he has a decent shot vs. any of the champs, maybe not vs. Wlad though.

He's also a real good inside fighter, that was a lot of the problem in his fight with Shannon. He took a monster shot early and he then tried to stay out of range and fight from a distance with a larger opponent that's a good counterpuncher. He effectively took away one of his own biggest weapons in that fight.

 

it's hard to say because you can't judge him from the Briggs fight because fighting Briggs is a different fight.I think he can give anybody trouble, it would be nice to see him back in the ring again to better judge him but until he comes out of his cave I dunno. Hell he could be reired for all we know

 

yes

 

It is a shame since he was one of the better inside fighters at HW in a while.

 

His inside game is far superior to Wlad's, but that's why Wlad fights on the outside.

He beat Guinn on the inside and Guinn is really good up close too. He beat Brewster on the inside & that's where Brew usually shines.

I don't think Sergei is as powerful as Peter, Wlad or Briggs but his power is up there and you're right, he's a good mover most of the time. He starts fights using movement & more defense but usually ends up fighting in close in a brawl by the end of the fight.

 

Yes, he has the skills but is an underachiever.

 

I dont think Liakhovich follows instuctions from his trainer. Remember his trainer threating to hit him with the stool , if he didnt start listening against Brewster.Basically , I think Liakhovich doesnt have a strong work ethic and is stubborn, he only fights the way he wants and wont listen to instructions that he needs.
