Comments Thread For: Tszyu Admits Lebdev Was Overtrained, Nearly Stopped It

[joe strong]

whatever...

overtrained? my ass! he got exposed. he had the close fight with huck but other then that he was feasting on the senior circuit (jones , toney & RJJ) in his homeland. he ran into a legit CW who wasn't even in the best of shape or at his best & he still took everything & dished out more of a beating. the bottom line is lebedev may have been hyped a little more then he should have been. when you feast on 40 year old former names & you avoid the best competition (been an issue with european boxers for decades) there is a chance you will get exposed once you step up. lebedev hadn't fought anyone since huck. toney & RJJ are ATG's but that was 10 years ago...

Overtrained? Was someone punching him in that eye before the fight to soft it up?

If he did win that he would of been a cult hero!!! I never thought that much of him before but now i got loads of respect for him for lasting so long!!

"Fell to the mat?" Tszyu acts like Jones fell from exhaustion in the 10th. Lebdev body-slammed him, probably out of frustration over his trainer's idiocy.
