On a banana boat like toney said!
Toney has always had a big neck!
I just watched Toney-Holyfield...what an amazing fight.
in the early 3 rounds holyfield looked good, sharp. commentators are more than happy with his performance. The crowd think toney is in trouble after a few right hands and left hooks bounce of his face and head.
Amazing...Toney's confident and the fact he didnt break under that sort of pressure, the confidence he showed in that fight was awe-inspiring! Holyfield had never come across this kind of fighter before. talking to judges after landing a convincing punch! i have never seen holyfields face like it was, before! He knew he was in for it big time. Toney started connecting properly, heavily and regularly with Right hands and left hooks starting from the 4th round. Evander was grimmacing from the body shots.
Holyfield tries to connect but toney is too cute, his crafty defensive methods are too slick for the veteran! You can see it happning...Holyfield getting weaker by round, and Toney getting stronger. Each right hand weakening the warrior holyfield. in the 9th round Toney is too much for him and he stops holyfield! he absolutley dominates the fight from the 3rd round!
Anyone who hasnt seen this fight i recommend you watch it. It is a good toney fight! he has a style that is very difficult to beat. it is Made to deal with aggressive fighters. he would have eaten nigel benn. Tyson would have been beaten badly by James Toney. I got a documentary of a 24 yr old toney talking about wanting to figh tyson one day, this was when tyson was top dog.
For a heavyweight, toneys punches were dazzling. Fast powerful combos. His defense great like usualy...but then again he weighed in at 217 in that fight.
Hopefully this extra 16 pounds doesnt make a difference against the nigerian nightmare. Actually he needs tht weight against the gaint peters....i see toney out boxing peters, if he fights like he did against holyfield, he could break down peters and stop him!
Cant wait for this fight.
