James Toney is back! Toney/Lebedev live!

[Gandalf]

It seems that Toney has weighed in at 199 pounds! How gobsmacking is that! Toney has come to fight and I am so excited!

Where is my JFAT alliance crew? Let's fucking have it!

Looking at Toney here it astonishes me how he has gone to heavyweight and dealt with everyone except Peter the second time out. He even looks small here compared to Lebedev and I didn't really expect that.

As the biggest Toney fan here, I will admit that I am quite nervous. His skills are brilliant, but we really don't know how well the artistry can keep its hold over the physical form. It's weird to see him so 'thin'.

All I can do is hope and it would make my year to see Toney roll back the clock and make this guy look ordinary.

Go Toney!

[Gandalf]

No, he looks good, but is he strong? That's my big question.

None of us truly knows. We have no recent form, no recent weight guide.

It's a true unknown. 43 and doing this? Crazy land territory, but I have faith in James Toney above all other fighters.

I thought he lost to Oquendo too. Toney was a natural middleweight or super middleweight. I rate Lebedev higher than Green at cruiserweight so I'll give Toney more credit if he beats Lebedev than I gave Tarver beating Green.

No, I thought Oquendo was beaten by Toney and I also thought Toney beat Rahman again too.

I find it impossible to compare between any of these weights. But if Toney can somehow fuck this dude up bad, he is still relevant. And I would leave it at that.

I just want to see Toney come back and look good doing so.

[JohnnyKickAss]

Still hard to believe that Toneys gotten down to cruiser again...

Same here...Come on Toney...

[gest12645]

impressive indeed.

[Mars_ax]

It's hard to see what Toney looks like in the video, but it appears he's in the best shape he's been in, in years. During the face down it looked like Toney was talking to Lebedev, here's what I think he was sayin':

"After I kick yo mo-fokin' ass, i'm gonna whip yo mama's mo-fokin' ass."

In the prediction contest I've picked lebedev UD... Is this weight loss a good or a bad thing for Toney? Is this fight 10 or 12 rounds??

[OumaFan]

I don't think its like a Chris Byrd thing. That was just unhealthy looking because he wasn't fat to begin with. Toney was fat. But he's still most likely shot (his speech is horrible these days). Regardless, I'll be rooting him on.

It's 12 rounds, for the vacant WBA interim cruiserweight title, the fight comes on Friday night, Moscow time, maybe someone can find a stream.

I thought the 5/1 odds were an exaggeration but checked and William Hill have him at that. That amazes me. It's the same odds they give Steiglitz to upset Kessler and actually far wider than Ricky Burns to beat Katsidis

Do the experts really think Kessler and Katsidis are more likely to lose than Lebedev, who has beaten who exactly?

Lebedev is one ugly lantern jawed dude with a face like an anvil. It's not going to be difficult for a master crafstman like Toney to target that massive chin.

I think he will carry more power at this weight.

I fancy a 20 quid accumulator on Groves, Toney, Kessler and Katsidis....

Yeah, the odds are a stunner. I had always seen it as a pick 'em with me obviously leaning towards Toney. But no, he is seemingly the flat out big odds underdog.

Come on Toney! JFAT alliance for life! Go and instigate a new cold war by butchering this guy!

I'd say it's a pick em too, and thats only bcause we haven't seen Toney in a real Boxing match for a long time and we don't know how he'll react to the weight loss. If he returns to the division as half the man he left it he'll destroy this pretender.
