Today at 11 a.m. EDT on the United Kingdom's BoxNation network, American veteran James "Lights Out" Toney takes to the ring in Russia to challenge highly-rated cruiserweight Denis Lebedev in a bout for the interim WBA title. It will be Toney's first fight at cruiserweight since his all-time classic against Vassiliy Jirov in 2003.
Lebedev (22-1, 17 KO) was last seen on May 21, knocking out Roy Jones Jr in scary fashion in the 10th round. The 32-year-old Russian has power in both hands, is the far fresher fighter of today's combatants, and has home field advantage. But most important, he's been fighting at this weight for a long time now.
The 42-year-old Toney (73-6-3, 44 KO) on the other hand dropped 58 pounds from his February ho-hum win over Damon Reed to hit 199 on the scales for this one, and there is great concern that he's going to be in bad shape, even if he looks better cosmetically.
At his best, Toney is a great stylist, a defensive wizard, and an exceptionally tough nut to crack. The question is how close to "his best" he is anymore.
Also on the card will be Ukrainian-born, California-based light heavyweight prospect/contender Ismayl Sillakh (16-0, 13 KO). Sillakh will be taking on Ali Ismailov (18-7-1, 13 KO) in what should be a very easy fight.

I’m expecting a contender for worst TV fight of the year here. So the good news is it’ll be very hard for me to be disappointed.

One gets the impression Steve Bunce hasn’t seen a lot of the fights he talks about. I think he’s entertaining, but eh.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Well, I think he has been to a lot of fights as a journalist, but I think it is generally UK-focused with a lot of amateur stuff, so he probably hasn’t seen some of the US fights. Mind you he might have seen them, its just that he tends to get over-excited when a microphone is around him.

I’m familiar with Bunce. I like him. But he says things like “so-called steroid aggravation” – what does that mean? That Toney DIDN’T fail a drug test? And he didn’t even mention the OTHER drug test he failed.

I’ll be mildly interested in seeing the heavyweight Glazkov fight later.
i remember him from the 2008 Olympics but have never seen him fight pro.
BTW
I was distinctly unimpressed with that somewhat touted heavy Kubrat Pulev the other week on the Marco Huck show.
Maybe it was an off night but he looked pretty average to me.
He doesn’t thrill me either. He’s stagnated as a prospect, IMO.

One thing i’m liking about Bakhtin is — well, something DrRck just mentioned. Variety of punches, decent speed, some snap on his shots. He’s getting no challenge, but he’s not just coasting. He’s working to do different things. Smart fighter, it seems, but not basic/predictable.

Lebedev vs Toney Round 1
Toney flicking his left hand out, kind of a backhand more than a jab. Lebedev short on his shots so far. Toney doing his usual rolling and slipping defensively. Toney’s rights coming in, not flush. But he’s getting it there, or at least very close. Lebedev with some lefts as Toney gets trapped on the ropes. “You would give him this round because this is his backyard.” What a stupid fucking statement.
Lebedev’s left hand starting to land in the final minute. Hard one lands and Toney looks uncomfortable with Lebedev’s southpaw stance. He’s getting hit plenty with that.
Lebedev 10-9

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Lebedev vs Toney Round 2
Toney looks very slow. His right hand is stuck in the mud. Feinting a lot. Looks kind of like James Toney. Backed down again when Lebedev lands. Toney on the ropes. He wants a right hand but it’s SOOO SLOOOOW. Toney’s balance sucks. He gets hit and backed off after he badly misses a right hand. And now Toney’s hit again when he stumbles. Toney looks atrocious. Lebedev is getting to him. Toney favoring his left leg. Knee or ankle. But he’s fighting and not looking for a break, just trying to loosen it up.
Jab from Lebedev. Another. Again off balance. Left hand lands.
Lebedev 10-9

Lebedev vs Toney Round 3
Toney constantly ducking down to his right, and Lebedev caught on quickly, and he keeps hitting him with the left hand when he does. Toney hit hard with a left and sent back. Toney’s legs are shot. Lebedev bullies him into the corner. Toney keeps shaking the leg. Now the stupid ring banner shit gets under Toney’s feet — I’m OK with him injuring himself, because that happens, but get those stupid things off the apron.
Toney doing nothing offensively. Right hand stings Toney again. Toney has no idea what to do offensively, and that’s not his leg, and that’s not new. Left again by Lebedev. Total one-way action. Toney looks so, so bad. Again, not new. He hasn’t looked good in years. And I can’t “feel bad for him.”

Toney has nothing. I mean nothing. Lebedev is in complete control. For some reason, some are acting like this is some kind of new performance from Toney. He’s been old for five years. Toney getting completely embarrassed in there. He doesn’t belong in this fight and Denis Lebedev is making sure everyone knows it.

I’m a bit surprised not many have mentioned how wrong it is of Lebedev to have set these last two fights up with two totally shots fighters when he is both in his prime and also naturally bigger.
I think it’s a disgrace and i can’t stand his ugly face.
It’s a bit harsh when people say Lebedev has a face which has taken too many shots, he’s clearly got a hair lip. Still ugly as sin mind you
Do you remember the way he celebrated after mashing up the Bones of Roy Jones? Like he just won the Superbowl? Disgusting.

“Toney is heavy-handed.” Yeah 10 years and a lot of ice cream ago.

Toney with a little right. He landed one last round, too. He’s trying to load it up. Lebedev presses again and lands some lefts, then does nothing. Lebedev can be a bit frustrating. But it’s still his fight. Cool FHM ads on the big video screen in the background. Body shot by Lebedev. Toney’s response doesn’t land. Toney looks gassed now, too.

Toney nearly falls over on himself again. He has no balance whatsoever. Losing 58 pounds is no help, being 42 is no help, wasting so much of your career is no help. Toney is not strong enough to do much here. He lands here and there, but he doesn’t have the physical strength or the speed. Lebedev still pushing him around. If Denis would press I think he’d get him out, but that’s not who Lebedev is.

Lebedev vs Toney Round 8
Toney with a right counter. Just sort of bounces off of Lebedev’s head. Lebedev with a jab. Lebedev staggers Toney a little again, but might have caught him in the back of the head. Toney doesn’t complain really. He’s not complaining. He’s not quitting with a leg that is clearly bothering him. He’s just not any good. Toney getting RIPPED with left hands, and that one hurt him. Toney back to the ropes, and he’s squared himself up again. He still takes a shot. The man is tougher than leather. My distaste for Toney, if you’re wondering, is more that such a great talent wasted so much of his career.

Just more of the same. Toney is being embarrassed, and I don’t mean to say this as a “hater,” but it’s been something he’s had coming for years if for nothing other than his own laziness. Toney is getting battered and he’s clearly hurting now. Lebedev RIPPING him. Referee thinking about stepping in. Alright, I’ve seen enough. This is getting butt ugly and tough to watch. I’ve seen enough of this. He’s not even fighting anymore. He’s just trying to not get hurt anymore.

Again, I don’t like James Toney. I don’t find it sad to watch him lose. Or even get embarrassed. What I find sad is watching an in-prime boxer leap around like a goon after beating up an old man who had absolutely nothing left in the ring. Lebedev could stand to put a fucking cap on it.

I'm moving on to Saturday now. Lots of good football and boxing to look forward to.
No need to think about this anymore.

Bunce has really got his moron hat on now.
" I don’t think Toney is gone yet".
“Roy Jones still might have that last great fight in him”.
Idiots like him don’t help when BS like this goes on in boxing.
he said that?!
I love Buncey but….wow.
As a tall guy, you gotta make the shorter guy take risks to get to you. Go through a bad neighborhood to get you.

What’s he gonna say when one of them gets taken out on a stretcher.
“These things happen”, or something.
They do when idiots think like you were just talking, Bunce.
I like Bunce for his comedy factor, but he talks crap and misleads fans too often.
To say he’s closely involved with boxing and boxers what he said there sounded at best irresponsible. At worst it sounded sadistic.
Whatever, it was certainly stupid.
'stupid' is very charitable
completely unbelievable statement to make by him

Bunce’s mouth starts flapping before he thinks about what he is about to say. Quite witty but he’s a f’kin motormouth.
its great fun usually
wish he could have had a think this time though

True, Phill
That’s the trouble when you talk too much.
You open your mouth before putting your brain into gear.
I thought he was talking about the fact that somewhere in the world, there would be a demand for a Jones v Toney fight. So I think he was putting forth arguments that would use to promote such a fight, rather than his own thought.
I don’t think that he seriously believes that Jones has a great fight in him, or Toney for that matter.
Still, I disagree with him even bringing up the idea of the fight. The last thing boxing needs is a Toney v Jones fight. Did we not learn anything from Jones Hopkins II?
Nobody will read this and care and why should they?
I heard what he said, and he said what i said he did.
DrRck confirmed it below my post and Bunce even said himself he was getting a lot of offensive emails in not long after he said it.
Really? I stopped listening after he was basically inviting purse bids to stage the fight in Russia, Florida or Texas. Jesus…
Nobody will read this and care and why should they?
um....who cares?
neither should be fighting…

This Glazkov heavyweight
they are showing now looks a bit better a prospect than Kubrat Pulev did the other week.
Looks like he could be pretty decent contender. He’s got the size and good skills.
