Lebedev is slow and your average cruiserweight. I don't even particularly think his power is what it is made out to be, my cat could K.O Roy at this stage, Enzo & Alexeev.
Toney is going to school him & K.O him.
Even a hideously out of shape Toney I fail to see how Lebedev beats him.
He comes in straight lines, he panics, has no work rate, don't use angles, has slow feet & his handspeed is average.
I think he's just getting this ridiculous hype because of his new trainer, that & most of his fanbase are Russian *******s.
You are making out he's had to do it overnight.
Lets say he does hit 200lbs, what is he going to rehydrate to?
What is Lebedev, 195? and a weak, small 195lber at that?
If anything this could do Toney favours.
You're all making out he needs to be super ripped & had the reflexes of a 94' Toney. Lebedev is a very limited fighter & IMO couldn't beat a 60yr old Toney that had been retired for over a decade.
Toney has had a year to shed what is the equivalent of 1lb a week, he is working with Amir Assaid.
I've seen footage of him on the pads, even bags which he don't use, doing plyometrics, sparring etc and Toney looks sharp.
Lebedevs sparring = Wayne Braithwaite who is nothing like Toney & floored Lebedev heavily to the point Tyszu had to stop it.
I think Lebedev has a questionable chin. He gets easily frustrated & his workrate is pish!
James is in superb shape & has had months to prepare for this, what makes you think it'll be Toneys stamina coming into play?
Lebedev has been 12 rounds once.
Lebedev is a flat-footed southpaw slugger, Toney eats guys like him for breakfast.
Sure Toney is washed up but you have to take into account Lebedevs opponents, his best wins - Alexeev, Enzo & Jones.
Also people think Lebedev will K.O James lol, if a prime H/w Sam Peter couldn't K.O a fat, out of shape, unmotivated Toney then there is noway in hell Lebedev K.O's a highly motivated, in shape Toney.
Dancov i'v quoted all of your brilliant analysis of Lebedev so we can revisit it post fight.
