WelshDevilRob Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Russian Roulette–Povetkin vs Chagaev–Helenius vs Liakhovich by Bobby Mac An amazing Russian heavyweight elimination tourney of sorts takes place in Messehalle, Erfurt, Germany on Saturday, August 27 when Alexander Povetkin squares off against Ruslan Chagaev for the WBA “Regular” Championship while Robert Helenius takes on Siarhei Liakhovich for the WBA/WBO Intercontinental belts. OK, Robert Helenius and Siarhei Liakhovich are the odd men out, being only the amiable next door Finnish and Belarussian neighbors rather than pure Russian rivals, but it’s a great time to cash in on the Russian connection while they’re still around.

WelshDevilRob Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Good match-ups to look forward to this month. I'm backing Povetkin to be too busy for Chagaev. I just don't think Chagaev ever got back to where he once was. Povetkin has had some problems aswell and went missing for a period and lost the momentum but I think he's the fresher of these two. Helenius looks a good fighter and I'd expect him to get the win over Liakhovich who as stated has been very inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
