    I know who id rather have in my corner, Tszyu was a disgrace letting that fight carry on.

    His point is right though, Tszyu should have not had let his fighter go on . Lebedev could have sustained some career threatening damage cause of it

    I thought lebedev should of been
    Pulled but I actually think purdy could of continued with taking
    The shots on gloves added to devons bad hand I think he could of grew into the fight maybe
    Like Carson jones Kell brook

    I would never say barker made the wrong decision though

    Never saw the Lebedev fight but i saw pics of the eye and to let him carry on with that sort of injury is a disgrace. Not completely Tszyu's fault as the referee and the doctor should have stopped it instead of ignoring the fact that his eye was completely ****ed.

    I can understand why Barker pulled Purdy out but i don't think it was the right decision. Alexander had obviously hurt his left and his right hand didn't seem to have as much on it as it did in earlier rounds. Not that many clean shots seemed to be getting through anyway. No way Purdy was going to win though, plus if he wasn't fit and had trouble making the weight, you can see why he was pulled.

    no that is a fair point though which i missed they should take some responsability, however i dont think the ref can stop it unless a fighter is refferd to him by the referee

    Tszyu was trying to redeem himself for bitching out the hatton fight

    One extreme to the other. Lebedev had a serious eye injury that could ruin his career + he will have more opportunities in the future.

    Purdy was a long shot of about 1 in 30-40 but he was taking no damage and going the distance could have enhanced his reputation. He will probably never get a chance like that again.
