Thread: Tony Thompson out, Toney will fight Fres Oquendo now

its on boxingscene

next week, Tony Thompson has acute bronchitis or something

easier fight for Toney, not that it matters that much in the long run.

Good news for Toney.

I hope he looks good against Fres but to be honest I see it as a fight that could go either way.

I reckon he'll eke out a very uninspiring close and maybe controversial win.

I love Toney but he's done nothing in the past few years to suggest he can offer anything to the heavyweight division any more sadly.

I agree.

I think Rock just looked worse last time out honestly.

This is an easier fight though, Thompson was a bad style matchup IMO.

Hasim was lucky to scrape past Zuri Lawrence who had less than a week's notice. He's a disgrace to the heavyweight title.

Thompson would have beaten Toney with ease imo, probably won virtually every round.

Toney is sadly going to end up his career suffering his first ko if he carries on.

He really should retire.

toney wins imo

Fres may still be eager and a little tricky to keep it interesting for a while but then Toney starts to zero that right hand and can stop Oquendo.

Yeah I don't think Fres has a chance there really Toney still has that skill and he can still place his punches it's just a matter of what he's willing to do in there but he won't lose to Fres Oquendo. Oquendo isn't like a Batchelder who at least comes out of you and if you aren't in the mood to fight back much it loses you some rounds. Toney still has plenty left for Fres. Would love to see Toney-Haye.

Yes, a much easier fight for Toney, though I was really looking forward to how Toney might deal with a much taller HW in Thompson.

Toney might even score a rare HW stoppage here if he is in decent condition.

Just bumping the thread for the fight.

That had to be one of the most pathetic fights I have ever seen.

I've never seen an Oquendo fight I liked. So what happened tonight?

The Toney/Oquendo fight didn't happen yet, I was referring to an undercard fight between Shawn Estrada and Shaun Spaid, that ended in the first round. It was really quite pathetic.

What is it with quick ending fights these past two nights.

Andre Ward looked pretty sharp, but the Camou wasn't much of an opponent either.

Whoa! WHAT? Thompson throws a lot of punches sure, but he's crap. Toney woulda outboxed his ass. No way in hell he'd lose almost every round to an amatuer like Thompson.

I know Toney has disapointed us greatly these last few years.

But we must keep the JFAT Alliance strong. We must Bilbo.

Where are my guys at?

Am I the only one watching these fights?

Is there anyone that can do a RBR for the Toney fight? Miles needs a hand, he's a fan of Toney's, but he can't get the links to work.
