I’m tellin you this is a must watch for any boxing fans. Tremendous heart shown by both fighters, 5 stars!
Fight of the year hands down
Lebedev threw 4 or 5 body shots in the 6th and 7th, he was head hunting the rest of the bout. The russian mob must have something to do for this bout to continue. Worst referee ever, he should be sued and banned from the sport.
This not a sport!!!

Incredible fight! Big heart from both fighters, especially Lebedev fighting with only half a face! I can’t believe the ref waited as long as he did to make Lebedev see the doc.
Jones certainly was the bigger of the two but looked a little flabby. I can’t imagine the pain generated by the repeated blows on that grotesque swelling. Maybe Lebedev’s corner kept it going because Lebedev was firing back, but by the 9th or 10th round the corner should have stepped in. NO WAY he was seeing out of that right eye, which was his primary eye since he is a southpaw.
I think this fight is easily 4 stars.
