But i felt bad for him at the end though, not a man of class but nevertheless a great fighter.
I felt bad for him as well, that's honesty on my part. I did not feel bad for him because I thought he lost though. I felt for him because he was distraught and I really do like him.
I still think Peter won
I'd love to hear which 7 rounds you think Peter won. Because on a sane person's scorecard he didn't win more than 5, six if you are a rabid Toney hater.
Agreed. I wasn't scoring the fight round by round, but I thought Toney was up the entire fight, and had it in the bag already once Peter had the point deducted. It seemed like Peter won 4-5 rounds. Even the rounds that the Showtime guys were giving him were based on him landing one or two punches in the last 20 seconds, after being schooled the whole first 2 1/2 minutes of the round. I'd LOVE to see the punchstats--Toney probably outlanded him by a factor of 3.
Yeah, CC. They didnt' show punchstats for a reason. Through over half the fight I was rootin for Peter, I like both guys, but I wanted Peter to do somethin, test James, make it a fight. He did, but he also lost the fight. After that point deduction it was clear James had taken over the fight and probably won both the 11th and 12th.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
