James Toney is back! Toney/Lebedev live!

[Gocougars3]

I imagine there will be a anti-Lebedev backlash because he has now punished two American former stars. Lebedev isn't shite. That's ridiculous. He isn't great but he's not shite. Seriously, I consider Marco Huck to be a legitimate fighter and Lebedev gave him a run for his money. Go watch that fight before juding him. No one said Danny Green was shite and Danny Green has done less than Lebedev. My theory is people hate Lebedev because he probably has the ugliest face in boxing.

I don't "hate" Lebedev, but what's up with fighting washed up, old American fighters? And then after the fights, crying and/or acting like you just beat them in their primes, WTF?

I just don't get it, or why Russian boxing fans would have any interest at all in watching this boring shit.

Lebedev is a decent fighter. Unfortunately guys line up to fight names like Toney and RJJ past their primes, particularly in a no name-no glamour division like cruisers. There are not a lot of dream match ups in that division at present. The last thing I want to do is defend fights like this one though, that's for sure.

There are a few good match-ups though that just haven't been made yet.

Huck v. Lebedev rematch
Huck v. Cunningham rematch
Winner of Wlod v. Green versus any of the above.
Tarver versus any of the above.

Well sad to hear he lost. Luckily for me I thought the fight was tomorrow and so didn't bet yet. Every cloud..

No Kayode in there? I don't blame you, he hasn't been impressive.
