This could be another fight of the year, I am leaning towards Lebedev who has looked impressive everytime he has been asked to step up in his last fight on paper was 50/50 and he ended it brutally.
I am going Lebedev ko 7.

Yes, this will be interesting fight but can't be fight of the year candidate simply because Huck is not quite on that level (yes, despite him being the WBO champion). If Lebedev KO's him that won't be such huge accomplishment. And he better KO Huck cause he is fighting a German in Germany.

This will be a good one...both fighters are aggressive...Lebedev is more controlled than Huck and Huck is a bit too wild sometimes...I think its 50/50...But yes its a Sauerland event and Lebedev probably got to knock Huck out to win this fight on the scorecards it will be tough for Lebedev to win...
Either Lebedev by KO or Huck on points.
If I had to pick I'd go with Lebedev only because Huck will wanna throwdown at some point and he's open to counters.
I like Huck because he comes to fight and he shows a lot of heart even in his loss to AA.
But I'm siding with Lebedev because I think his style is all wrong for Huck.
Mick, not sure about Huck losing to AA:confused:Quote:

I like Lebedev for a late rounds KO, maybe rounds 9-10....
Skel, good post. This match should be getting more attention. It has barnburner written all over it. I am torn. I guess I lean toward Huck because he has been in with better competition. Lebedev has impressed me though. I wish this was going to be on tv here.
My fault... Meant USS.Quote:

It was late night. :p
I'm backing Lebedev for this one, he's had to fight away from his homeland so many times, so once more won't be a problem for him at all. Huck has always looked to be a guy with gaps in his defence, albeit packing one heck of a punch. If I were a punting man, Lebedev KO 6-9
Mick, TBH, I should never have mentioned anything. You are, IMO, well entitled to many mistakes a year due to the uber nature of your Saddoboxing existence.Quote:

Not at all... I certainly should not receive special treatment. I'm part of the family just like anyone else... ;)Quote:

You would think it wouldn't be too much longer before this one started up.
Lebedev's entrance was flamboyant even for German fights.
Great timeing just got in.
well you figured huck had to one up him have the scorpions do an entire freakin song...
I had Lebedev winning round one. Always struck by how relaxed Lebedev seems. He may get knocked out in round two but he always looks comfortable in there.
Very tentative fight so far, and huck is on the back foot but I think I gave him the second round didnt see all of it was getting food haha
I have it 2-1 Lebedev but I suspect its 2-1 Huck on the official cards.
Huck goes from very cautious to very wild quicker than any other fighter out there.
gave huck the third for some decent rights landed flush though most are missing each others big punches so far, huck fighting very carefully lebedev comming forward...
Any of you guys got an English speaking link?
3-1 Lebedev. If Lebedev could avoid the straight right more consistently he'd be golden. Cause Huck lands a couple flashy lead rights a round and that's it.
nah sorry watchin in german , and lebedev took that fourth round on some good bodywork much more active
Gave the fifth on to huck so I got it 3-2 huck I think, lebedev doing good body work but that right from huck landed much more consistently in that round
this fight is so strangely predictable. Huck only throws straight lead rights or he'll go on the attack if he Lebedev misses and gets out of position. And yet Lebedev gets hit with 2 or three rights every round.
that seemed barely low, but sixth to lebedev much more active but for some reason can't avoid that right
Huck looks much less confident than he usually does.
The scorecards no doubt have Huck 5 up. ke Ouma says all Huck is landing is that straight right.
some of these rounds are tough to score. But round 7 wasn't. Huck just did nothing. So I've got it 4-3 Lebedev.
yeah he's also not throwing anything but the right actually and barely even did that in the 7th that body work from lebedev might be paying off, and wegner is urging huck to no let it go...
the crowd can't help but influence the judges. They just went nuts after Huck missed a 3 punch combination.
lebedev is going to lose a point before its over, borderline low again...gave 8th to huck got it all even, commentator just said huck is probably 2 or 3 rounds behind....not in germany,lol
I reckon Lebedev has some sort of contract that ties him up after this fight if he wins so maybe the judging wont be that bad, who knows.
Also what I found unusual Lebedev was sparring Sauerland fighters for this fight.
I gave the 8th to Huck and the 9th to Lebedev. 5-4 Lebedev.
Unfortunately I may have to leave. If I do I'm giving Lebedev the championship rounds. New Champ!
hard round to score, lebedev got a cut on hius left eye which was goin to happen sooner or later taking those rights gave round 9 to huck
Gave the tenth to Huck. 5-5.
This is kind of a bizarre fight. Huck is the most one-note world champion I've ever seen.
