But Toney did not impress Thursday night with a split-decision victory over Danny Batchelder, 98-92, 94-96, 97-93, in a 10-round bout.

Because while Toney improved his record to 70-6-3 while Batchelder, another blown-up former middleweight, fell to 25-5-1, Toney, who excels as a counter-puncher, was forced to be the aggressor. And the announced crowd of 4,269 at HP Pavilion decried the lack of action, booing heartily from the second round on.

"This performance was awful," admitted Toney, a former world champion in three divisions who weighed in at 229 after declaring early this month he would tip the scales at no more than 217. "I give myself a D-plus." Toney, who has fought as light as 155¾ pounds and as heavy as 257 in his career, won his first world title fighting under Bob Arum's Top Rank banner, knocking out IBF middleweight champ Michael Nunn in the 11th round May 10, 1991. Toney also won belts at super middleweight and cruiserweight.
