    Roy really does look old there.

    Very interesting - seeing as I am Roy Jones career big fan - watching him all the way from the early 1990's to now. And believe in his prime Floyd Mayweather was not fit to carry his jockstrap - talent wise.

    And also we know what Lebedev is - after he destroyed Enzo Maccarinelli.

    What time is this fight on UK time ?

    I suppose the best we can hope for is for Roy to suffer a bull**** stoppage in the first round.

    The moment Lebedev catches him by either ear he's gone anyway.

    Heart of a champion, Heart of a champion, Heart of a champion.......

    "I've never see Roy Jones in this bad a shape, its visible clear he has just put some weight on, he does not look as lean as his last Cruiser-weight outing. It was clear to me that he was really struggling to make light heavyweight, so i just expected him to fight at 185-190 at tops at CW, which he probably walks around at. "Not a 198 abit flabby Roy Jones".........

    Lebdev looks distressed all of the time "Or on the brink of tears", and I've never heard him give a interview.

    :Nothing against the guy.

    Jones does look old, that's the concerning thing. His shape isn't too bad. It's terrible for Roy Jones, but he looks in better condition than Lebedev who no-one says looks in **** nick.

    If he has weighed in that high he is in bad shape you can see by looking at him. His arms look kinda flabby not the same slimness or definition they used to have.

    Even when he fought Ruiz he only weighed in at 193
