Lebedev looking mediocre in sparring with Braithwaite

[J_C]

12/1 Toney KO, 14/1 Toney PTS, 6/1 TONEY any which way. I had me some Toney at 13/2 earlier in the week. I really hope he pulls it off. If pushed I say Lebedev to outwork Toney and get a decision. I think Toney will land the better shots and never be hurt but just not throw enough.

Lebedev to win on PTS is the outcome that punters have generally been backing fwiw.

I wouldnt draw any conclusion for a spar though, we dont know what theyre working on here.

I thought it might have purposfully looked shite to make Toney over confident until I saw Lebedev stumble back from a right hand and Braithwaite was taking it easy too! There is a bit where he touches gloves, or his glove to Tszyus hand!

Im same as everyone else here. It depends on whether Toney has the legs anymore, if he does its all his!

Damn I had no idea Braithwaite could box like that !

All I've ever seen him do is gun for the KO for the couple times I've watched him fight.

"Big Truck" is about the dumbest nickname ever, but I'm impressed at how he was toying with Lebedev and rocked him a bit even.

Not a bad take.

Lebedev is a borderline B level fighter.. maybe even a C.. He's horrible.

Toney is an A legend, but 43.

It's a lot of former estimation and wishful thinking in this one.

Hopefully Toney kills him.

Im surprised that so many people have picked Lebedev. I thought it would pretty obvious that if Toney came in shape he would p**s it. Technically he is in a different league.

Remember how many people picked Badi Ajamu to beat Roy Jones ?

And how many people thought Yuri Foreman was going to beat Cotto ?

A LOT.

It was depressing and startling that boxing fans could believe that crap.

This match with Toney its more reasonable to pick Lebedev, but still he should by no means be a big favorite.

Yeah he does look like shite, but really always has to me when he fights anyways. The guy is really herky jerky, it's like he wants to bob and weave as if he isn't a clumsy oaf; he'll make pathetic attempts to feint and load up on things that wouldn't have affect if he did land them and leaves himself stupidly open. This fight is 110% down to what Toney can muster up at his age and at the weight.
