Roy Jones Jr. knocked out

                        Denis Lebedev knocked out Roy Jones Jr. in the dying seconds of the final round of their non-title cruiserweight fight in Moscow on Saturday, handing the American his third consecutive defeat and leaving him pondering where to go from here.With seconds remaining in the 10th round, Lebedev landed four fierce lefts with Jones on the ropes, where he had been for much of the bout.
                              Jones, once the world's top pound-for-pound fighter, bowed and shook his head before taking one last right hook from the Russian and falling dead-weight to the canvas. Many had predicted a much quicker demise, but Jones managed to stave off the Russian, ranked the world's top cruiserweight, with a combination of swagger and counterattack that has become the hallmark of this late stage of the 42-year-old's career.  - daily mail
