rOY GETTING 500g'S for this fight. But, Im going to assume the IRS gets most of it in light of his recent troubles. But, I read Roy has 58 million so I doubt he's in that much trouble. But, yeah, these Russians need hugs/role models, save it for the fight. These guys have the personalities of an eggplant. But, I hope Roy found his mojo, or something, this could be ugly. I hope not though, he's my favorite. Ill be watching.

Damn, the guy on the right looks pure evil.

You would be mad too if you won a world title and German crooks stole it from you.

Lebedev presents problems for Roy at this stage, but this is a winnable fight if Roy can stick and move to a decision.

Lebedev likes to throw the lead left and left cross. He throws a jab, but not a pollaxe. He'll measure or blind with it to slam the left through. But, that lead left is really the only straight punch he throws. This is important, I think, considering Roy's history.

Lebedev also likes to go the body. His total arsenal consists of a the occasional measuring stick jab, lead lefts, lead left uppercuts, left cross, hooks to the body. And, he rarely throws combinations. When he does, they're usually to the body. However, when he has someone hurt, he tends to throw looping punches only. And, they're not voluminous. He throws more like Mike Tyson -- all he has into every punch, no more than a couple at a time. He almost never tries to split the guard.

Also, While Lebedev is clearly the larger man, he's not a big cruiserweight. He's not a Steve Cunningham or a David Haye (at crusier). He's about Roy's height and has an average build at the weight.

I think Roy can counter this guy. I've seen others counter him (Enzo countered fairly effectively before eating that uppercut). The question now, as it has been for the last seven years of Roy's career, is whether Roy can pull the trigger while avoiding the big shot. There is a path to victory for Roy. As a RJJ fan, I'll be nerve wracked the entire fight.

Roy doesnt have no 58 mill or he would not be fighting. He's flat broke, dudes selling pit bulls on facebook now LOL.

I can't watch this.

Lebedev is going to smash him. Completely smash him.

Hopefully, it's all over in a round. And Roy can let it go.

How is he getting paid 500k for this? Where is that money coming from?

[*Boss*]

OMG that guy is huge.... Roy cant take a punch anymore and he's fighting a guy with KO power..... RIP Roy.
