My friend was ringside for that fight. He got to talking with Mike McCallum and told McCallum that he had also been ringside for the McCallum/Curry fight. At that point, my friend's friend/business partner (this man had fought Zora Folley in addition to training my friend during his pro career) said "Yeah but he wanted you to lose. He bet on Curry."

McCallum was a brilliant fighter I thought he beat Toney. That KO of Curry was once in a lifetime punch, he never did that again. He usually broke them up with body shots and finished them with head shots.
