How come jones made less than 200 lbs? He looks big and bloated. How much did he weight. By the way, brutal fight. Lebedev corner was horrible, that fight shouldn't been allowed to go on.
I couldn't believe it as well, he looked at least 220. Lebedev's corner may have ended his career now, it was still competitive in the late rounds but it was only a matter of time.
Ok, so he looked 220(+). Is putting on(or dehydrating) 20+ pounds so unbelievable for a CW? Come on? Chavez Jr, at mw, does this all the time, and he is not the only one. (Just using him as an example). Even ww and jww seem to be doing that much, now-a-days.
Can you imagine this guy fought at Welter for the first 3 years of his career? He really has to have a light bonestructure or something because that can't be healthy.
But he's 6.4' and as bloated as he is he should be around 230 at least. People like Junior, Matthysse ,canelo, they still look ripped the night of the fight. You cannot burn fat overnight.
Pacquiao used to come in up to 15 pounds heavier then he was when fighting at Lightweight and lower. Same thing with Marquez. People say it was amazing how Pacquiao moved up two weight classes but in reality he was only a few pounds bigger and did not have to dehydrate. Broner is doing the same thing. He already weighs over 140 pounds and against Escobedo he was 148 if i am not mistaken. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/3086340526_b7fc792fd2.jpg?v=0 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kp2FrgCoR...ACnc/6Mjv9S20gbk/s400/diaz-weigh-in-vegas.jpg Hardly any difference in size yet one fight was held at 135 and the other at 142
Yeah he is one of the most unathletic elite fighters today and has no reflexes left. He is fighting on boxing skills and one of the best chins in boxing today alone he is slow as **** and got hit a lot against Lebedev any otehr fighter would have gone down from those shots and he wasn't even rocked and he is really horribly slow both with punches and with hsi feet Lebedev looked like Ali in the fight. I'm really surprsised how he managed to win I think he has a top3 chin in boxing today Lebedev is one of the hardest punchers at CW and even Huck was running from him
No kidding. It'd have been much better to pull him out earlier, then go for a rematch. He was boxing well, but they shouldn't have ignored the horrible condition of that eye. They did a terrible job of looking out for their fighter. I also agree with Kid Cubano that I have no idea how Jones makes Cruiserweight- he and Lebedev looked a full division apart because Guillermo comes off as a full sized heavyweight in the ring. He certainly made good use of the size advantage when it came to absorbing punches- I never thought I'd see Lebedev land 80% of his power shots on anyone and not knock them out. That may have been the best display of chin I've ever seen in a Cruiserweight fight.
