WBA cruiserweight champion Guillermo "El Felino" Jones is still amazed that Denis Lebedev's did not stop the fight, especially considering the Russian boxer's closed right eye, when they faced each other last Friday in Moscow, Russia. The match was stopped in the eleventh round when Lebedev went down from exhaustion and was counted out.
"I'm very upset with the corner of Lebedev. They should have protected the boxer, whose face was disfigured, but I could not stop and I had to keep doing my job. I thought they would stop it but they allowed him to keep fighting. I don't think he will [fully recover] after this," said Jones.
Jones (39-3-2, 31KOs), 41-years-old, is now hoping to move up to heavyweight to get a crack at one of the Klitschko brothers.
"That's who I want. I hope that [my promoter Don King] will get me that fight," Jones said.
