The reason Liddel was able to land that punch was because Randy was unable to take Chuck down or force him to the cage. The one thing Chuck Liddel had in spades was a world class takedown defence.
Unfortunately James Toney cannot.
The fight starts standing up. From the time the fight starts to whenever Couture decides to grapple with Toney, he will have to walk in like hes trying in that clip.
Its ok saying that Toney is just going to get taken down but who knows how to use distance better than Toney? A little side step here, a feint there. Then theres Toneys very sharp punches!
Cutoure doesnt really kick, he relies on his boxing and wrestling and hes getting on and probably slowing down. In fact, if Toney does pull the win off which I think he just might, then this is a genious move!
If it was the other way round and Couture was moving to boxing to fight Toney, do you think as many people would give Randy as much of a chance as Toney is getting here?
If Toney has any success here I think it proves that Boxers do have the better fundamentals for fighting and are more adaptable because they have learned the hardest parts already.
At some point in the fight, Rrandy is going to have to walk to James, like hes doing in the clip where he gets dropped by Liddell and James can easily match that. Its going to be embarrasing for MMA fans who are treating this as boxing v MMA because its all in Randys favour here. Id like to see a boxing match between the Two after Toney KO's Randy
