I was shocked too. I was shocked as soon as they announced it was a split decision (as well as being shocked every time they showed the press row scoring which I also thought was seriously off (in favor of Peter--especially the first press guy)).
I have a hard time judging whether this was worse than the Quartey-Forrest decision though. Both were really awful.

The show time announcers were sucking off Toney through out the whole fight, the same way HBO was sucking off Quartey the whole fight. SO if you were paying attention the story the commentators were painting you should be upset with the decision.

Agreed. An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry LU, wacko can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.
Re: James Toney was freakin' robbed. Absolutely ridiculous.
I didnt think it was a robbery, but, I did feel that it was a very close fight...
One thing was verified for me in this fight though, PETER IS CLUELESS ON HOW TO FINISH SOMEONE!!!!
this guy DOES NOT need to be up for a title shot.....He needs a new trainer to teach him how to finish off a fighter for one, stop going for that big knock out and last but not least, stop that damn hitting behind the head....
Peter throws the worst looping right I have ever seen, I mean, he doesnt control it when he throws it...I dont say its not dangerous, he has landed it solid on fighters. But he throws it with such carelessness...
I wonder what Russian they going to feed him to??? I hope he tries for Valuev, but I know he wants to get his ass beat by Klitschko again....Liakovich would be the smarter fight(He is who I think is the true rising star of the russians, he will be someone to deal with for a while....), then move on to Maskaev(A true test of power and endurance here, I think Peter would get tested on stamina and be in the ring with someone who can hit just as hard as he does) Wlad and Valuev are way out of Peter's league, they will end Peter's carreer if he goes after them......
What I seen from Toney in the fight, Well, nothing new, the same bullshit from the same asshole of a fighter...
He isnt that slick, he did get hurt a few times, he did work Peter's ass over at times but, in the end, made the foolish mistake of leaving a close fight to the judges.....If you are a pro fighter or an amateur fighter, learn the one most important thing in Boxing...IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT TO THE JUDGES, YOU BETTER BE PREPARED FOR GETTING SCREWED ALOT!!!!
I am happy for Peter, I think he will be there longer than Toney, Toney is basically finished, he is getting older and has no solid chance of becomming a HW Champ...
Good Luck,
Coach

Disagree completely. The announcers called it as closer than it actually was. BTW, are you actually saying that you thought Forrest deserved the W over Quartey (and that it was just HBO hyping him)?? Even Forrest knew he didn't win the fight (just like, if you saw Peter's face before the result, he knew he didn't win either).

I actually watched the fight again, and have to admit, the announcers were not bias towards Toney, it must have been the beer. However watch the Quartey fight again without the sound on, HBO's announcers were selling the story that Quartey was winning the whole time, and I fell for it the first time I watched the fight, but when Teddy Atlas talked about HBO creating the illusion of Quartey winning the fight I watched it again.
For the record, I still think HBO has the best announcing crew in the game today. They just sort jump on a bandwagon every so often.

Showtime announcers were fair to both Peter and Toney man, but the judges were not. Now as far as the Quartey vs Forrest robbery is concerned, I dunno what you are talkin bout. Cus Larry and Manny were all for Forrest, while Jim and Ledderman were for Quartey. A fight were the announcers were paintin a BS picture was the HBO cheerleading for Taylor against Winky. They even fooled most folks into thinkin Taylor won that last round, myself included the first time I watched it. ::**
