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?
