Comments Thread For: Photos: James Toney Hits Moscow, Vows To KO Lebedev

It's too bad he isn't fighting that ****** **** Marco Huck. Huck is a hothead and Toney's talk would really get under his skin and it would be so easy to get behind him to beat that piece of ****.

Lebedev on the other hand seems much more mature and composed, plus he is a more polished fighter. Gonna be tough for Toney to pull this off even if he shows up in excellent shape. Let's not forget that he is a black American fighting a Russian in Russia. He will have to win 8 rounds clearly to get a Draw.

Lebedev-Jones

Daniel Van de Wiele 87-84
Keith Hughes 85-86
Evgeny Gorstkov 90-81

1 instance of a fight being judged fairly gives me no confidence that this one will be as well.

Roy Jones wasn't even a threat so they didn't bother to pay off judges, for this one they will.

Roy had the clout to get an American judge in there, I bet that won't be the case for Toney. And notice the dirty rat KGB judge gave Lebedev every round, there will be 3 of him for this fight.

Daniel Van De Wielde always judges the fight for the home fighter, he's an expert at making his card close but making sure the fighter he is told to score it for always wins. That's why he continues to judge fights when he is blatantly inept.

Drunken Commie.

This is an easy fight to predict. Lebedev is the younger, fresher, hungrier fighter. He may not be overly skilled or mobile but Lebedev has good endurance and is workmanlike. He's gonna be pressuring James all night, hitting the body, going to the head when he can and out working him. Toney's gonna have his moments where he lands a 'highlight reel' or 'gif worthy' picture perfect counter right hand, but those are gonna be few and far between....

Lebedev will outwork Toney enroute to a wide UD...

I was wrong about the "highlight reel" moments, Toney had none of them...
