It has been quite a rollercoaster ride with Light Out- as many downs as ups. But I am always going to remember him as the 20 year old kid who gutted it out and kncoked out Michael Nunn, when Nunn was the big kid on the block. Congratulations to Lebedev, who is builidng a great resume. Hope he gets Huck next. But I take a moment of respect for James Toney, an ATG.
What do you mean with Lebedev building great resume? I dont rate RJJ and Toney wins at all because they both are over rated american bums(just kidding). I think Lebedev is building decent resume Fighting These curretn Cruisers at their primes and should dig doing that.
Respect to James for at least still having a warriors heart and not quitting despite having good reason to. Some great memories from lights out and could've been many more if he showed the dedication of his peers like Hopkins and rjj. He should really call it a day now otherwise he's gonna be in a real bad state soon.
The writing was on the wall. I hope he retires and enjoys his accomplishments. I dont feel bad for him though.
This event was proving again the long established supremacy of the eastern european over the afro-american fighter and the fact that american "legends" are nothing else than glorified bums. :deal That was how Michalczewski vs Roy Jones Jr. would have looked like, too. This aint the Rocky-movies sweethearts, in real life there is no happy ending for your soft-as-sh.. childhood-heroes. atsch Stupid Americans! Hahahaha :rofl
thats boxing. far too many fighters go on way past their best, and end up taking a hiding off someone who could'nt touch them in their prime. ledebev's a decent fighter, but imagine what james toney or roy jones would have done with him in their hayday.
Toneys broke and needs the money. He's embarrassing himself and his legacy but he's been stupid when it comes to money and now has to pay the price.
In their heyday, Roy would have DOMINATED Lebedev. Toney would have made it a close fight, but Im not convinced he would have beat Lebedev even at his best. Toney was obviously more skilled than Leb though.
I don't know what is sadder, the way Toney was manhandled or the fact that RJJ was outboxing and outpointing Lebedev so much better than Toney before he was KO'd. It is strange, for people shitting on his boxing ability, Roy was able to out box his ATG peers, B-Hop head to head, and showed better than Toney against Lebedev.
Glad Toney lost:good I hate the way this guy talks **** and dis respects people, it was good to see Couture beat his ass last year! this is the icing on the cake....
wow, so is it safe to assume that inbred skinheads like this mongoloid have completely over run ESB? look at this idiot getting a hard dick over lebedev beating the crap out of a guy that hasnt been relevant in years. seriously bro, do you have such an inferiority complex that even when a shot to pieces, mid forties former fatso losing to one of your one gets you off?? what a sad and completely meaningless existence you're living pal. it must suck relying on the actions of others to make yourself feel superior, im willing to believe you're a former MMA fan since the rankings are getting a little dark if you catch my meaning:deal
Yesterday all you yankees braged about how Toney would rejuvenite his career and give Lebedev a lesson and is ATG blablabla now all of the sudden he is shot to pieces and not relevant, cowboy-logic :nut :rofl RJJ down, Toney down, whos next? What about that little sissy Hopkins that quitter?:hey
