For me, its really a pick em fight, Lebedev could do it through his pressure and pure brawn and slightly underated boxing skills.... OR Jones could do it through his sheer class and craft... Your thoughts??:good
Lebedev is a small favorite here. The fight will probably take place in Lebedev's backyard. Lebedev has been active in recent years and Jones hasn't.
Great fight. .. 60/40 LEbedev. . . A legitimate CW title fight here. . . But Jones is 40, and has lost a step. Both have been facing mediocre competition in their past few fights. . . So this is a big step up for both (since Lebedev fought Huck). Lebedev hits a little too hard, and isn't very crude, and "wide open". . He is fairly technical with his power punches, and pretty accurate with his punch placement. He should be able to stalk Jones down, and clearly outpoitn him, or stop him late. Jones might be able to pick him off, and outbox him, but I don't think he'll be able to do it clearly enough to get the decision in Russia.
is this fight actually happening? it's been talked about for nearly a year, and nothing's been made as of yet
For the moment it is happening. But Jones will come up with something and avoid it without consequences. Btw, has any betting company given the odds for this fight?
