That last punch seemed unnecessary.

completely agree, IMO it was a classless move by Lebedev

it only takes one punch to permanently end a man's life or to leave him like McClellan is today, Smoger was already stepping between the two when he chose to let another one loose and it was more than clear that Jones was out cold

I'm not sure what Lebedev is supposed to do. He turns to Smoger and shrugs and Smoger doesn't dive in. Isn't it his job to keep punching?

Yeah, I don't think it was Lebedev's fault per-se, I think it was more on Smoger. I would have likely to see Lebedev hold up there, but he's in the heat of the moment and you don't stop punching until the other guy is on the mat or the ref stops it. He was just doing his job.

thing is Smoger was already stepping in between the two, either way the stoppage was bad and it went too long

It looked to me like Smoger hesitated. He jumped in and took a look at Jones, but he didn't wave it off. Lebedev looked confused, like he thought Smoger was going to stop it and then threw a punch when he didn't.

Agree on all points. Smoger was uncharacteristically indecisive there. Could it have been because he couldn't see Jones' eyes he didn't really know Jones' condition?

Who knows... You'd think he'd be quick to stop it given Jones' recent history, but maybe he wanted to give the old fighter the benefit of the doubt?

the rumor going around a few months ago was Roy is broke. How he spent all the money he made is beyond me, but if true, it is very sad.

He already likely is going to suffer later in life because of all the head trauma he suffered in the past 6-7 years. Without any money, he won't even be able to enjoy the few decent years he has before he is suffering physically.

When any good-great fighter gets out with their marbles relatively entact then it is a good day for a boxing fan. The best one can hope for is a guy like De La Hoya, who didn't take a ton of punishment to end his career (getting smacked around by Pac was much better for him than alot of the brutal beatings we see most very good to great fighters take at the end).

You'd think that he'd be able to make a decent living doing broadcasting. He's great at it.

Add to that the after dinner gigs, they paid six figure sums over in the uk the legends of the past. RJJ was over here doing a couple recently.

I think a man with a name and past of Roy Jones can easily make a very good living maybe not the money he had in the past but live a luxury lifestyle compared to most.

Maybe it's a combination of him being broke, relatively speaking, and being in love with the spotlight.
