Denis Lebedev - Kostya Tszyu a disgrace

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 do a little boxing myself but it is not the be all and end all he should have been pulled out doubt he will fight again

 

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.

 

But it "isn't" what it "is".

It looks like the ****'s about to hit the fan..

 

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.

 

Great fight,loved every minute of it,brutal.:bbb
Lebedev could of quit couldn't he? He didn't want too,you know why? He is a ****ing boxer,I wasn't seeing him complain,only nancy boy keyboard warriors.
Oh and thread starter,I would really really really like you to get hit as many times as kosta got hit offa Hatton, **** me,aye he is a *** for quitting,twat:deal

 

****ing hell! That is horrific!!!

 

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.
