He did. Williams was no chump. Came in with a solid game plan and executed it early in smothering and out working Toney but once Toney got distance and worked off ropes the ceiling caved in on him. Toney half assed a few fights but at 168 his wins over Williams, Barkley and Littles were quality. He also handled and beat a inspired Thorton, RIP, much easier that Eubanks had just a year earlier. One I personally had Tony winning just barely
Crazy when you think about it..Toney and Eubank were a lot alike in the ring, lots of posturing and timing out rounds. Little bit flat footed and egos that needed additional dressing rooms.
