    I've never seen this guy. He does have a high KO% and he looks strong. Who does he compare to, stylewise? Is he a destroyer? I heard he should've gotten the decision over Huck, too.

    He's the #2 cruiserweight in the world (or should be since he beat Huck).

    Recently, he knocked out Alexeev and Maccranelli. He should have gotten the decision against Huck.

    Given his high KO ratio the conventional wisdom is Lebedev KOing Jones in the first few rounds.
