he dominated but not as explosive as he used to be

he dominated but not as explosive as he used to be

He’s on the back end of his career.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hearn just wants Lebedev vs. Okolie.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[samwbr]

Dennis has got the world's flattest face

All them punches to the face.

Hearn just wants Lebedev vs. Okolie.

Bad idea IMO

Okolie has bad fights. Leb is still too skilful.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Also, Adam Smith said it earlier and Hearn confirmed it.

Hunter vs. Takam.

Hearn just using Takam on his cards..

Hunter might want a bit of a rest, it was a physically challenging fight he had tonight.

We’ll see what Hunter and Rahman think tomorrow morning.

[jamamb]

would be a gambol but i would not wrtee okolie off. seeng leb vs flanagan and wlson and hes defo not what he was.

[handsofstone]

I had Lebedev winning a shut out, poo fight but he dominated, I would've liked to have seen him get Wilson out of there but he was a brave fighter and did catch Lebedev with a couple of big shots but Lebedev controlled things with the straight lefts to the head and body, landed some quality shots which would've put lesser guys away, a bit of a borefest, Wilson was carrying a swell muffin top but gave it a decent enough go but just not in Lebedev's class

It's great work for Takam, he's never gonna be a world champ so why not get involved? Bet he's earnt more cash this last 12 months than in his entire career.

Easily.

Yeh. I only gave round 2 to Wilson. Could have easily given it to Wilson.

He had the odd moments in some rounds but not enough work for 3 minutes to take it.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Stuarty]

Absolute knob rash of a card!

[Ruthless-RKO]

[DrDuke]

Probably Lebedev has blown his career ending. He was good against Gassiev, after that he should have used his last years in a proper way, take part in the WBSS or at least fight someone with names and more frequently. But he was fighting some stiffs and wasn't really active. He won now, but he looked declined. And what does he want now? Usyk? Usyk don't need him. I'd pick to see Usyk at the HWs, rather than fighting Lebedev, cause this fight will very likely be one-sided.

Hunter was good. Ustinov isn't someone special, but he's big and Hunter should get used to such size of opponents. Moreover Michael performed exactly in the way he should have performed, no questions to him.

[horndawg80]

I never want to see lebedev on my tv again. That was a dire main event. a technical spar

[maverick23]

Absolute knob rash of a card!

I didn’t mind it too much to be honest. It was a pity the cut stopped the Buglioni fight as that was decent until it was stopped.

I also quite liked the Yafai fight (except the scoring) and the Ustinov/Hunter fight.

Usyk may see Lebedev as a fairly easy way to make a lot of money and/or increase his following in Russia, given Lebedev's standing over there, and Usyk's comments on the Crimea suggest he is keen to retain a Russian fanbase. Lebedev, for his part, might see it as one final big payday.

That said, Usyk isn't one for hanging around, and he's already had one well-paid relative "gimme" fight for lots of money against Bellew, so he's more likely to pass Lebedev by.

[ILikeBeer]

Just caught a bit of the replay on Sky.

Does Johnny Nelson spend all night talking cobblers?

[Coco]

Adam Smith described Wilson as only area title level, a statement I don't agree with.

[IrishGuy]

People forgot takam was battering chisora before the finish out if nowhere, takam would be favourite in my book if they rematched or he fought whyte.

He actually said Yafai didn't deserve the decision! I nearly fell off my chair
