Comments Thread For: Denis Lebedev Could Be Facing Steve Cunningham Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to WBA interim-cruiserweight king Denis Lebedev (23-1, 17KOs), if he doesn't secure a fight with full WBA champion Guillermo Jones (38-3-2, 30KOs), then he plans to target a fight with former two-time IBF champion Steve Cunningham (24-4, 12KOs), who recently lost a twelve round decision in a gutsy performance against Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

Wtf? Why not fight guillermo jones for the title?
cunningham vs lebedev is a good fight though

[Ray*]

They are trying to cherry pick and it might hurt them if Cunningham pull off the win.

lol....why cunningham honestly?

[Silencers]

It's about time Lebedev got off the senior citizen's tour. This would be a good fight. Don't really know who I'd pick to be honest, but if it's held in Russia.....

[The Hammer]

They've been trying to make the fight with Guillermo Jones for six weeks, but it looks like he really doesn't want it. Jones rarely fights.

Cunningham is okay as a back-up plan.

lol....why cunningham honestly?

he's one of the best in the division...duh!!

[Dedication]

Cunningham's one of the best. Doesn't change the fact that Lebedev's a huge cherry picker... Steve's coming off a loss and Leb's two previous bouts were against a pair of OAPs.

Steve could win a decision here but he has such a dodgey chin even though he has never been ko'd because of his ability to recover and survive but he is always hitting the canvas in fights.

[Evil Abed]

Lebedev hits a good deal harder than Pablo.

Not nearly as fast or explosive though.

Fairly even fight. But I hate Leb pouncing on a guy with two straight losses.
