Heavyweight champion Sergei Liakhovich vs Shannon Briggs

[2-0-Sixx]

First chance for an Amerikan to reclaim a Heavyweight belt from the Soviets this saturday (probably not too many people will watch because of the Mayweather fight).

Briggs tips the scales at 268 pounds
(47-4-1, 41 KOs)

"I'm looking to get him out of there early," Briggs said. "He's a young kid. One or two rounds."

Liakhovich registers 238 pounds going into his first title defense.
(23-1, 14 KOs)

"I know he is going to come out swinging and I know he is going to try and throw a lot of hard punches," Liakhovich said. "But he needs to think about every time he swings, he is going to get hit."

Great fight.

How much has Briggs really improved? We will see this Saturday. Sergei is exciting and consistent. Briggs is an ox. Should be a great fight.

Liakhovich is going to knock him out
