    I boxed amateur up until I was about 19 and then jacked to concentrate on uni.Im not condoning what happened maybe the corner should have pulled him out but it is what it is.

    Boxing can be a cruel sport sometimes and people get caught up in the glory or entertainment side of it and forget that people's careers and lives are even at risk.

    I might have come across a bit harsh but it is what it is,it's boxing.

    Really? I thought you had to have two doctors at championship fights.

    I don't want to go against the grain here but:

    Referee
    Doctor
    Trainer
    Boxer

    Any of them could've stopped the fight at any time.

    Can't blame Lebedev, he'd keep fighting until he can't unless someone stops him, which is more or less what happened tonight.

    Jones will be having recurring nightmares after that.

    He is the one you should feel bad for.

    Lebedev could have quit, Jones had no choice but to keep punching that in the face for 30 minutes.

    A great fight, but also a fight that makes me ashamed to follow boxing. Felt like a shower after watching it. As someone said earlier, ledbedev looked like E ****ing T. If Stanley Christodolou ever has anything to do with the sport again, I'm not sure that I continue to watch. Ledbedev was maimed in this fight, ffs.

    A trainer can over-rule any fighter, all his has to do is get into the ring and start waving his arms about. Too many people trying to give Tszyu an out.

    Having said that, Tszyu didn't appear to be in charge of the corner, it was another fella.

    Whatever.Somebody should have stopped that long before the knockout.Went on ridiculously long,even for a title fight.Never thought Id see Lebedev beaten like that at what I thought was near enough to his peak.I wonder what the people who knock Johnny Nelson as a boxer think now?Ten years ago he boxed a draw with Jones,who surely hasn't got any better.Maybe slightly lucky to do so,but Johnny was a hell of a cruiserweight and greatly underrated IMO.

    His corner should be banned from Boxing period that was despicable behavior from his corner why the **** didn't they pull him out poor Lebedev was a mess after the 6th or 7th yet they let him risk his health for a further 4 or 5 Rounds.

    The Ref was horrible as well he should get the boot too.

    It's a sport where your opponent is continuously punching you in the face what the **** do you mean things like this shouldn't happen.

    Go watch tennis if you dont like it you fairy.
