But it was a hell of a fight.

I heard Jones refused to take the post fight drug test. Is this true? Cant believe he took so many shots and barely affected him. I was certain he would collapse around 7/8 after taking so much shots
He took the post fight piss test.
Saw the fight now and it was a exciting fight. Jones has not fought in 18 months and puts that performance was amazing. Jones has a great chin and did some great work with jab, body shots and upper cuts.
Ledbedev has balls of steel but where was his protection. Really disapointed in Kostzy he should have stopped it.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Kostzy in your corner, you would think looking at that eye he would NO that could be a career ending
injury Lebadev had.! Referee only looked once, the Doctor carry on the best and the worst in this
fight,on view two warriors in the ring and a shocking disregard for a fighters health.![]()
That's the reason it wasn't stopped. His corner men were Kostya Tszyu and Alexander Povetkin. A former fighter and a current fighter. All 3 share the same mentality. So it was never brought up. The fact that Lebedev was still fighting and winning rounds is the reason why it wasn't even a consideration. The corner didn't do anything wrong by letting the fight continue. It was a championship fight. What the corner did wrong was not having a legitimate cut-man. Povetkin was the cut man. His experience comes from getting worked on. Not working on somebody. He didn't even have an end-swell. Just a bag of ice. It's no wonder the eye blew up the way it did. I don't know if something happened or what. But going into a championship fight without a proper cut-man is just fucking moronic. Tszyu, Lebedev and Povetkin have all been champions. They should of fucking known better. They all share blame
I only saw the tenth round and some highlights thus far. By the tenth it looked like Jones had major fatigue. Looked like his arms were getting too heavy to lift.
Kostya stayed on his stool against hatton.... And he didnt have injuries to that magnitude, the corner was braver than the fighter a crap advert for boxing being safe.
Common sense went out the window, did it not your sight is worth more than money or a belt,!
you can be a home town fighter, but that was a bad disregard for a fighters health, by fellow
professionals, that showed very little professionalism.
Yes he may have won, but at what price blind in one eye.![]()
