And hey it was an exciting heavyweight fight, how often does that actually happen? Before that it was Lyachovich-Brewster, other than that heavyweight fights are for the most part garbage.
I agree with you about the quality of the fight. I really enjoyed it, 12 rounds watching an aging master showing off his silky skills. Just a shame the judges called it the wrong way.
Hope Toney can pull this one out of the bag, but I just don't see what he can do different, I mean if you did everything right the first time and still didnt get the decision what you supposed to do in the rematch?

That's true, with those judges apparently Toney would have to totally dominate to win a decision. Hopefully we'll get some better ones. I'm a big Toney fan but I scored the Rahman fight 7-5 for Hasim so I don't think I'm a total homer, but seriously how anybody could have possibly given Peter more than 4 rounds in that fight is totally beyond me.
