I am almost done with my stupid SL bet to win on points... 250 is way too much weight, he won't be able to move. Sasquatch eats the White Wolf alive.
these are the type of hws that give the divsion a bad name. out of shape, lethargic fighters create boring fights. wouldn't mind seeing both of these guys getting knocked out
You are right about SL in this case but even though I am no fan of Valuev, he always comes in good shape and his stamina is fantastic.
Lyakhovich was 238 when Briggs jacked him up. He doesn't look sloppy in the weigh-inphotos, but carrying around an extra 10 lbs. coupled with a year and a half off is certainly not going to make him any faster, which you'd have to think would be his main weapon against the massive, lead-footed Valuev. I have to wonder if Lyakhovich is really all that interested in making boxing his life's work.
I think this is SL's last hurrah, that is why they made all those outlandish claims about him being in the shape of his life, etc. They are cashing in on him in this fight. SL is no Ruslan C.:nono
