Who's threat doesn't Chicken Little laugh off?
James Toney has been matched to lose, but if you were Dana White wouldn't you do that? You wouldn't let a boxer make a fool of your company and your sport would you? Toney could win but he's got a VERY tough fight.
This fight is a fucking joke, but what really pisses me off about it is the way the UFC guys (the commentators, White, Couture) are trying to sell James Toney as some kind of legitimate boxer. He's old, shot to bits, and a marginal contender in one of boxing's weakest division.
That was one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen.
The UFC fans are going wild now, they want Pacquiao and Mayweather to enter the Octagon to suffer the same fate as Toney and saying that those guys are too gutless to enter the octagon in "real" fighting.
Anyways I knew this would be the outcome. When your fat, broke, and punchdrunk, you enter the UFC and be like Toney or Mercer.
agreed, like i posted on another site, James Toney hasn't been relevant in BOXING for over 5 yrs, I'd love to see Couture VS Toney in a boxing match and lets see how long Couture would lastQuote:

Maybe we can have a Bas Rutten - Vitali Klitschko boxing match next. It would be pretty much the exact same thing. Any UFC, or boxing, fan who thinks this was in any way legitimate is a fucking moron. They're two totally different sports.
lol @ Toney been training 9 months. at what, stuffing hot dogs in his face quicker then Kobayashi?
oh well, he got paid. am sure that was the goal.
enjoyed Toney's post fight interview, other then the fact I couldn't understand a word of it.
I honestly dont even know what happened but saw them doing that big time prior...White probally instructed Toney to wear that "heavyweight champion" robe for the camera at weigh in laughing all the way to the bank.Quote:

to be fair Top Rank does the same shit all the time on their self broadcasted PPV fights, like Clottey/Pacquiao, although UFC does so in fights with no marquee name fighters involvedQuote:

I was against this fight from the start and seeing that was really just pathetic. There was no reason to be doing MMA beyond the paycheck motive.
Come on Toney give it a rest. Enoughs enough. :rolleyes:
I have a feeling Roy Jones will attempt MMA also, rumors are that he's broke and looking for a paycheck and that's why he keeps on fighting. Let's say Dana White offers him 1 million to fight George St. Pierre and he will probably take the offer and enter the octagon with a similar result happening tonight.Quote:

But alas it played out just as most everyone expected it to, Couture shot in low and took down Toney and choked him out.
It was pathetic on Toney's part and a bit hard to watch him tap.
I wish he woulda just let himself be choked out, passin out wasn't gonna hurt him like an arm bar would.
Where did you get the rumor saying that he was broke?Quote:
