I think this is pretty interesting one although aesthetically the fight will probably suck. Liakhovic came in pretty heavy and a bit soft at 250 lbs (don't know if he is willing to win) while Valouev looked good at about 320. The White Wolf could have the movement and sharpness to outpoint Valouev the way Chagaev was able to, but I pick Valouev to take the decision in a boring bout

http://www.mdr.de/boxen-im-ersten/5071711.html you can see this fight live here. The broadcast should start at any minute now
Belorussian boxers have superior mental qualities, so Lyakhovich shall win easily, barring any of the possibilities below: 1) German gloves 2) German refereeing 3) Russian boxers getting in the way of winning
Since you speak German, could you translate the stream for us as well and post the translation here? P.S. Is Abraham fight over yet?
Sure, if they say something interesting:: Right now I have some problem with my picture though, it doesn't move properly, the sound works faster. In the beginning they just told about the backrounds of the fighters
:clap: :clap: Keep up the good work! Make sure to tell us if you hear any discussions about robbing Lyakhivich of well-deserved decision.
From fightnews: Junior middleweight Alexander Abraham (11-0-1, 14 KOs) won a lopsided eight round unanimous decision over Choukri Yentour (18-3, 7 KOs). Alexander is the younger brother of IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham Former WBO heavyweight title challenger Kali Meehan (34-3, 28 KOs) punished journeyman Jeremy Bates (22-16-1, 18 KOs) until referee Ingo Barrabas stopped the fight at 1:16 of round three.
oh fuck it. I paused it to re-open (to get the picture moving properly). Now I get the message keine verbindung möglich = connection not available. Those German fuckers are cheating once again
By the sound of commentary, Williams is getting beaten down.German commentators sounded pretty exciting......
I couldn't get the link work properly and the Media Player link wouldn't open it to me either so I am watching a crappy SopCast, which still is better than the original website
I was having lagging issues until I clicked on the Windows Media Player link, which directed it to Winamp for me. No lagging at all, picture wise. Sound isn't perfectly synched, but only off by a split second or two.
Thanks for the link dude. :bears: The problem is that after a minute or so, everything starts getting out of synch...so I log off and start the stream again on synch...but I have to keep doing that, . It's ok, it's better than nothing...and the quality is pretty decent. :bears:
Now I went to Windows Media...it's working perfectly now. http://www3.mdr.de/boxen_live/live.asx :doh: :: :bears:
I watched all the way with SopCast. It lagged some but I could see it however. It was one of the more impressive performances from Valouev ever. He controlled the pace easily and didn't seem to tire at all. His left jab was active enough and it also was snappy and accurate. Also his right hand, an arm-punch though it is, found its mark. I don't know how much it was a case of Valouev being good, but Lyakovich gave a very lackluster performance. Maybe the weigh-in did tell the story but all the ambition that made him the winner over Brewster was gone. He didn't move, he had no sharpness and no game plan at all. He just stood there and get tagged for full rounds. 120-108, 120-108 and 120-107 from the judges
