    Sounds interesting, but wouldn't improving his MMA skills cut into his boxing training? Never heard of a boxer training MMA just to get ready for a dirty opponent.

    I'm sure it's mainly for publicity, like James Toney training with Billy Blanks a few years ago.

        Lebedev to win

        Lebedev will KO Huck. He's the real deal, a sharp shooter with crunching power. I like Huck a lot and he has excellent qualities as a fighter but Lebedev is a destroyer. Huck will be there to be hit and that spells trouble.

          Lebedev is solid as ****. People need to pay more attention to this guy. He has one punch KO power and his timing is perfect.

            I hope Lebedev has legit boxing sparring partners. Fedor is a legend in MMA but his type of striking, which is 'unorthodox' (i'm trying to be nice here because I respect him) wouldn't do much in boxing.

            Also, Aleks doesn't train with his brother anymore.

              I think thats more for the promotional aspect.

              at "Pretty Boy" Huck, after Huck stated he knocks this ugly guy out

              I cant wait. This is a great fight between two warriors and one of the best CW in the world.

                  Yup, that's the Tae bo guy.

                  It was a cross between Tae Kwon Do and aerobics.
