Smoger Explain why he let Lebedev crack RJJ with the last punch

[HattonTheHammer]

very sad to see roy becoming a punching bag for every half decent boxer out there

at least holyfield is still able to sufficently defend himself, roy is just getting the crap beating out of him and nobody close to him seems to wanna give him that nudge out of the sport he desperately needs

[No Contest]

He hasn't changed his style of fighting, he still thinks he's super quick like the old days. He cant get away with having his left low anymore. He doesnt have the reflexes he used to use for defense, that why he's getting hit more and more. If he fights again, he really needs to try a different style of fighting, he may get away with it for a few rounds, but he cant do it a whole fight like before.

I think offensively his speed is still there, that right hand that put Lebedev into the ropes in the 10th was lightning quick and I personally think it was a knockdown. But his ability to move and shoulder roll has greatly diminished which would also be a confidence thing. You get knocked out once while doing something youve done for yrs, its going to put doubt into your mind. But his reflexes have been shot for a long time.

Like the style that Mosley used in his last fight.

RJJ seems to already be unconsious and on his way down when he received the last hit.

That's why skill and craft are so important. They survive diminution of reflexes and talent.
