Comments Thread For: Gassiev Sees No Reason For Lebedev Rematch After WBSS Refusal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The world champion of the International Boxing Federation (IBF), Murat Gassiev, sees no reason to conduct a rematch with Denis Lebedev, who holds the World Boxing Association (WBA) title. Last December, Gassiev won a twelve round decision over Lebedev to capture the IBF title. A few weeks before the contest, the bout agreement was revised because Lebedev refused to stake his WBA world title in the contest - and placed Lebedev in a position where he would walk away with a world title even in defeat.

Sh^t I ain't see a reason before the WBSS tournament.

Tournament? Those never work. Theyre always rigged for fighters like Andjango coWard with the sugar daddies like Jay Z or Foul Playman

The fact that Lebedev lost but kept a belt and sites like boxingscene refer to him as a "world champion" just show the words have no meaning anymore in boxing and the belts are make of moldy cardboard.

Lmao look who's back and off his Meds again

Gassiev is being very gracious with those "great fighter, great guy" comments!

Lebedev could have entered the WBSS, got his rematch and unified if he'd believed he was "robbed" the first tiem around.

Levedev sucks

Lebedev is a gutless yellowbelly swine. If he wanted his rematch he should have entered the tourney. It's that simple. This CW tourney will destroy the super six because it's single elimination. The winner should completely ignore Lebedev. Sure he holds the WBA title but everyone knows he lost it to Gussiev. The regular champion will represent the WBA & the winner is the undisputed champion. Lebedev is not only gutless but he is also up there with Willie Magee as ugliest athlete alive. I never talk this negatively about any boxer as most here know but Lebedev is a disgrace! To still be calling him a champion is an embarrassment to the sport.

I dont know why Lebedev does not participate in this tournament. Many important fighters are attending but he not!
