lebedev is in my top 5 favourite fighters so i am biased but, hes boxing smart and he still has dynamite in that left. lebedev brutalised that tough argentian easily. lol
I'm torn, but as of right now I lean Lebedev. I thought Fedor Chudinov KOing Ben McCCulloch cold was damn impressive, and thought we might have a big puncher at SMW and.............. I was wrong.
You never know for sure,mate! Lebedev is getting old and his days are counted.There is no doubt that Gassiev is the underdog but Gassiev can bang and it may be just the right moment to share the ring with the old warriour. I sure do hope that Lebedev wins this upcomming fight but I freely admit that it is a bloody risky fight for the old vet.
Yep Gassiev's ceiling is still unknown.. And this is a massive step up. Lebedev for me is still very clearly the #1 CW based on his accomplishments and activity compared to his peers. Usyk may have the beating of him but he hasn't done enough to be ranked above him. Also.. It really disgusts me how underrated Lebedev and the rest of the CW division is.
Lebedev could have been a HOF lock and P4P had it not been for some of the disgraceful robberies(Huck and G JONES cheating) Almost certainly would have unified be has was disgracefully ducked by the likes of YPH, Huck(rematch) among others. I think he's coming towards the end of his prime and is going to lose soon, but what a career.. Very unappreciated fighter who almost certainly would have done more with his career if not for the political BS that got in the way of things.
what a fight. im loving it. lebedev is feel should school him but has been around for a while lots of tought fights. gassiev alot of unknowns still with him but he looks good
This one will be a WAR! My bet is Lebedev still has enough in his gas tank for a tough fight and his skills and ring IQ will carry the day.
Great fight. Champion vs the future. I have no doubt that Gassiev will be a future champion and I even think he is ready now. Lebedev is already 37. He impressed me by destroying Ramirez, but Gassiev is an agressive fighter. This fight won't got the distance and I think Gassiev can pull an upset here.
