Jones knocks him out in the 11th. The ref tried to help lebedev by giving him time with the doctor but he couldnt be saved. Well done jones!!!

Lebedev has been stopped here in the 11th round,Jones upped the pace in the 11th and Lebedev couldnt take the punches anymore. His eye is so bad, I am looking forward to seeing some pictures. It was a great fight though, really enjoyed that. Jones did really well.
I look forward to Jones' next title defense in 2015
He has a helluva chin. Is there a rematch clause? I wouldn't mind seeing this again.
Wow! What a mess...lebdev's face is wrecked!
Pretty brutal fight that was. Lebedev collapsed after taking massive shots. His corner must have been trying to kill him and they only called the doctor in the 11th to give him some time
Impressive for a former welterweight to move up to cruiser in his 40s and walk through one of the top fighters .
I would love to see Jones fight the Huck-Afolabi winner, and I hope Afolabi wins!!
Yeah either would be a great match
Well that fight was worth the wait. Hope lebedev is ok. Nobody had his back in there and were sending him out to get permenant damage. Hope he recovers because he is a warrior. Thats how champs go out whereas that rican who burns fought last week didn't show a fraction of that grit
Jones is a classy boxer and I look forward to his next fight now we know he gives value for money
I agree, Lebedev should have been stopped a lot earlier, I agree with the commentary that he looked like the elephant man. If that had been Jones looking like that he would have no doubt been stopped. Jones is getting older and will need big fights soon. But lebedev did show grit in that fight and he made it one to remember.
To be fair Lebadev looks like the elephant man anyway. I really dislike him for some reason.
Wow. I've read this was FOY so far. By beating up on Jones and Tarver, I disliked Lebedev, but from what I've read the man deserves applause for that performance. And Jones, in poor shape, flabby, but walking through Lebedev's shots. Craziness. I guess the puncher won. Too bad we won't see him defend the belt for another three years.![]()
What is wrong with Kosta? Did he at least try to convince Lebedev from continuing to fight? The pictures make it appear that could be a career-ending injury. It makes Margarito's eye in the fight with Cotto look like a tiny cut.
Yeah ive lost a little respect for kostya because lebedevs well being didnt appear to be his priority. Looks like they were gambling his health by sending him out to go 12 and getting a dodgy decision.
Im struggling to think of an injury worse than that
So far I've got Rahman vs Evander, cotto vs Margo & vitali vs lewis
Lebedevs injury appeared to be a mix of all of those
Wow sounds like it was a sick fight saddly at work so missed it, altho from the sounds of it kostya did a shit job looking out for his fighter, id expect better of him being a former champ.
