Denis Lebedev vs. Roy Jones Jr. RBR

Round 6

Lebedev comes forward, not punching. Jones darts in and out with his 1-2. Lebedev is throwing that hard right jab, lands it. Jones' left eye is puffing up. Jones swoops down, and looks for a right to the body but changes his mind and jerks back. Lebedev stalks. Jones drifts to the ropes. Nobody doing anything, as they aren't close enough. Jones steps into a nice left hook. Now a forward-leaping lead right. Jones is landing those one-and-done power shots and ducking out of sight. Lebedev starts to try and grind Jones into the ropes, pushing into him and throwing short punches. Jones jabs him hard while circling off to the right. Jones is huffing and puffing, but is winning the round. Lebedev misses a left up top. Jones pops his shoulder up to absorb a Lebedev right hook. Another nice lead right by Jones as he turns Lebedev.

10-9 Jones

58-56 Lebedev

 

Round 7

A couple of hard lefts from Lebedev up top, and Jones complains about something in his eye. Thumb? Jones is pushed to the ropes and tries to hold Lebedev off with his stretched-out jab. Lebedev is thrusting his hard right jab into Jones' left eye and it might be affecting Jones' vision and equilibrium a bit as Jones is stumbling. Jones is also pawing at his eye with his glove. Lebedev comes forward blasting Jones with left hands through the guard. Jones looks fragile. No more cockiness, no more slipping punches. Just hiding in a guard and getting pounded on while plodding backward from one set of ropes to the next. Another left by Lebedev, taken partially on the gloves. Left uppercut to the chest by Lebedev. Hard left uppercut to the chest by Lebedev. Jones throws virtually nothing as he looks to circle away. Jones has his hands down but is throwing his arms up to block when Lebedev throws, no longer trusting his above-the-waist moves.

68-65 Lebedev
