Comments Thread For: Denis Lebedev Dominates James Toney, Wins WBA Belt

[-Antonio-]

Yeah he said something about it in his post fight interview. He was never the greatest on his feet anyway and he just couldnt pull the trigger or find his range all night.

2003 Toney beats Lebedev on one leg. The hairlipped **** just chases old men. He'll probably fight Tarver next then move up for Holyfield.

Watch the 1st 2 rounds up until the halfway point of the 2nd round. Toney is looking somewhat nimble (for a 43 year old shot fighter) footwork and balance not sloppy at all. Then at about 4:27 in the video (1:45 thru round 2) he throws a punch and his left knee buckles at the exact same moment. From then on out, he's fighting on one leg.


Can't believe more people didn't catch this.

Regardless of how shitty a boxer Lebedev might be, Toney is a 43 year old man who just went the full distance on one leg without even being knocked down, against a young, prime. top 5, supposedly hard punching Cruiserweight, while fighting in a division he hadn't fought in since 2003. He could've EASILY pulled a B-Hop or Vitali and puss'd out and quit, but he took the MAN way out and finished the fight with only 3 working limbs without complaining or looking for a easy, cheap way out.

THE greatest warrior of our era. Toney deserves every REAL boxing fans respect.

I'm not gonna lie I thought he was stunned at first. He definitely hurt his knee there. I give Lebedev credit having a good gameplan. If it comes out that Toney tore something there I'll think differently, but the guy is still shot.

He wouldn't have torn anything, but probably definitely strained it quite badly. You can't walk or move on a torn knee ligament.

Either way, it was obvious as hell to anyone normal that he strained his knee. You could see that every time he put the weight onto his front leg he went all wobbly. He is shot, but Lebedev is ****.

So glad Toney lost and not just because I am from the former Soviet Union but because Toney is an @sshole, a racist one at that.

Lebedev is building quite a resume - RJJ, Toney, Tarver should be next. Might as well clean out these old American greats. He should rematch Huck too.

Ismail Silakh is the ****, another champ from Ukraine.

Of shot fighters?

Shut the *** up.

i'm a huge james toney fan & i will say bum knee or not he is finished as a prizefighter but if he chooses to fight on there always will be someone to fight him...when he fought damon reed there was a nice crowd of around 3000 in a smaller venue so he still can draw some. i wish he'd retire but i know he won't so i would hope he takes it down a notch. i mean by fighting C level opponents if he is looking for a few more pay days...
