Thread: Toney back with a win

Toney won a split decision over 10 rounds

Toney won on two cards 98-92, 97-93. Batchelder prevailed 96-94 on the other card

Only a SD... that doesn't bode well for Toney... Anyone see the fight?

It shouldn't have been a SD win for Toney, not against this guy. Anyone see the fight? I don't think it was televised.

It wasn't televised but they do record them and it's fed throughout the arena and I think on public access in San Jose. I think. I'll try to get a copy of the fight if I can, I think you can request copies of the tape from the Pavilion. There were a few fighters on the undercard I wanted to see, Tekeh Oruh and my man Karim Mayfield.

But come on, Toney is done. I don't even think he wants to fight anymore really. He didn't sound like it a couple months ago.

Split decision..... either there was one really bad judge, or Toney shouldn't be fighting anymore.
Maybe it's both, actually.

As I've said before, I'm no Toney fan, but its sad to watch a formerly great fighters skill decline fight by fight, and watching their margin of victory shrink against lesser opponents they should blow out. Maybe its time for him to hang em up... call me crazy, but I bet Toney would/will make a great trainer - though it'd be hard to take his nutritional advice seriously.

Why so he can SCHOOL Vitali?

I'm betting that James won but that the other guy was just throwing more punches or pushing the fight on Toney(which is the usual )and the judge who gave it to the other guy gave it because he was coming forward only Im betting

You're doing a lot of betting there. If Toney wanted to send a message to the rest of the heavyweight division, he needed a big KO. The only message he sent last night was "give me my last payday so I can go gently into that good night."

Heck no it does not!

Damn. No CFH, I did not see the fight and I was fortunate to miss out on it.

Duke it's too early for Morrison to fight Wald, if he even gets back to that level. Besides, we are talking about James "Lights Out" Toney right now.

:P

I wish we could see the fight to know how he fought.

If he's impressive he's looking at fights with Brock, Briggs Lyakhovich etc, if not it's going to be Morrison, Mesi and the Holyfield rematch

I'm sure it'll pop up on Youtube. i2itv was there I'm sure. You'll just have to bare with drawn back camera angles, crappy commentary and even crappier background music.
