    Lyahkovich by decision. The fight might be fairly entertaining as well.

    Valuev will come to the fight with a Tyson like approach and blow Lyakhovich away in under 2mins.

    This is my pick as well, but Sergi better come in to the fight in shape, otherwise I think Vlauev gets to him late.

    This one is very hard to pick. Liakhovic, if he is as focused as he was against Brewster, should win. But whether he's focused is anyone's bet and of course, Valuev is very likely to get the verdict if it's close. I thought something like 5/2 on a Sergei win was a good bet though.

    I've said this before, but it's really hard for me to know what to expect from Liakhovich.
    He looked great against Brewster, the heavyweight FOTY, but then looked lacklustre and gunshy against Briggs. He's been out of the ring for a long time now.

    Valuev maybe not exactly be the second coming of Sugar Ray Robinson, but one thing he's always had going for him is his stamina, and he may simply outlast the rusty Liakhovich.

    I reckon I'd probably plump for that - Valuev UD12 after Liakhovich fades.

    I read couple of reports about Lyahovich last week on differenet Russian sites. I am not sure how reliable those reports are but they all stated that Lyahovich looked very poor in his training camp, especially in sparring.

    I voted for Valuev by UD. However, if these reports are true I would not be surprised if Lyahovich gets KTFO again.

    Remember when everyone on here was designating Lyakhovic the saviour of the division? Then I brought everyone back to earth by posting his resume and logical and reasonable arguments as to why he wasn't any more then a decent sized guppy in a pond full of smal guppies.....and one Shark.

    I think Valuev will win this one, I expect a pretty decent performance from him.

    that's what happens when u fight 2x in 3 years :-( his brewster fight was an aberration. he's fat and never listens to his trainer. then when he loses, blames injuries like he did against mo harris and briggs. his manager is that douchebag Gotzev who also represents sam peter. this guy is done. im taking valuev tko.

    I also think he's got serious commitment issues, thus, it reflects on his consistancy.
