That last punch was unnecessary.. Roy was clearly out.. Fkin Lebedev..

I hope this is it for Roy, time to call it a career.

Last punch was really unecessary. Roy rocked Lebedev but it should be the end for him now.

Roy through the fight.. That whoooo in the final minute was basically telling ledev to finish him, the punch wasn't even that accurate and he acted like he got struck by lightning

So you don't look like a possible crackhead(or worse), learn your words. If you don't know a word, use something on your level of understanding.

I do not think Roy threw the fight. May be time for him to bow out, however, if not take on someone a bit less dangerous, so he could go out on a decent win, which possibly wouldn't leave him feeling as badly. Hope he's ok.

Well you can't blame Lebedev for this entirely. He stopped and looked at the red (Smoger). The fight wasn't stopped, so he threw a final punch. A decent ref would have stopped the bout.

Look at that, what's Lebedev supposed to do. It's a real shame for Roy though.

Lebedev is to blame. Roy obviously was out on his feet. I'm thinking there was enough time to jump on him, if he somehow managed to continue in time. Roy obviously wasn't in shape to defend himself. Both are to blame, actually. Smoger might be a tiny bit too careless. I say a tiny bit, because Pavlik got that win over Taylor, for example. It is true, however, that Pavlik still is a relatively young guy, who doesn't have a history of getting KO'd. I think Lebedev needs to be fined, as should Smoger.

I get your point, but I still think the ref is the one who has to take most of the blame. Lebedev waited, then he threw a final punch. The ref could have bend the rules a bit and made a standing count. That would have been a better solution.
But it wasn't exactly sportsmanlike to threw that final punch.

This clearly falls on Smoger. Roy was out on his feet and Lebedev clearly backed off and waited for Smoger to interject. Lebedev had to throw that punch for Smoger to interject. Smoger deserves a fine and suspension

Let's just stop feeling pity over Roy. That punch could happen to any other fighter and not just to him. Sometimes instinct gets to the fighters first rather than thinking. Ref could be blamed there.

But, in the first place, it was Roy's decision to fight Lebedev. He knew the risks involved in every fight... much more now that he is not anymore in his prime.

That punch should wake up Roy's senses to retire for good.

I was hoping he at least made it the full 10 rounds and only lost by a decision but damn, another brutal K.O.

Not one picture of Roy hitting Lebedev. Nice.

For Roys possible last fight, you couldn't take one picture of him getting his opponent, which he clearly did. Thanks who ever took these pictures.

EXACTLY this^^^^^^^^^^
