Siarhei Liakhovich: what went wrong

A) Not that good in the first place. Guinn and Ahunanya are iron man type fighters with little offensive capability, and are really not indicative of any great talent. Brewster was already shot from wars with Wladdy, Meehan, and Krasiniqui. Liakhovich can box a little and that is it. No punching ability at all, nothing special about him.

B) stopped training the minute he picked up a belt. Was puffy for the Briggs fight and has never picked the habit of training back up.

C) Not too bright. Last round of Briggs fight.

D) Shot. The man should really not be fighting at this point.

E) Long periods of inactivity broken by non-efforts.

He caught lightening in a bottle and won a version of the world title...arguably a very legit version since Brewster had beaten Wladdy to get it. That is more than most of us do in life. So he should be happy about that and hang em up before he gets killed.

 

One thing I noticed is he stopped listening to his trainer Kenny Weldon, who gave him good advice.....Weldon told him to stay away from Briggs in that last round, told him not to just stand in front of Valuev......he refused to listen. He also had managers that didn't give a **** about him, first Bulgarian dirtbag Ivaylo Gotsev and then even bigger dirtbag Don King....

 

Briggs was better than Liahkovich, in my opinion. I know what you are saying in terms of how the fight played out. In general though I would have rated Briggs a better heavyweight.

 

what can go more wrong is unfortunately the big question… he needs to retire.
