Lebedev's Manager: We Can't Overlook Roy Jones Jr.

By Ruslan Chikov

Vladimir Hryunov, manager of top cruiserweight Denis Lebedev (21-1, 16 KOs) says they are not overlooking the four division champion Roy Jones Jr. (54-7, 40 KOs). Lebedev is not going to be allow himself to be hooked in by the two recent defeats of the 42-year-old veteran. In his last two fights, Jones was stopped in one round by Danny Green and lost a twelve round decision to Bernard Hopkins. The will clash on May 22 in Moscow.

"I will immediately say that his fights with Hopkins and Green is not our guide on what Jones currently has left. In our memory are his much better performances. However, we are going to study those unsuccessful fights. For this preparation, we can not miss even the smallest detail,"  said Hryunov.
