This forces the ref to act in the event of a punch or club to the back of the head which may be a factor as Toney does bend over and lean off to his right against the taller Peter. The only telling shots Toney took in the last fight were those clubbing shots to the back of the head. A warning and then a point could make the difference in the fight. Toney cant fight the entire fight backing away, EFFECTIVE AGRESSIVENESS is a key component of the judges scoring criteria, its hard to win a close fight if you've just spent 12 rounds backing up and it decreases the power of your shots.

Conclusion: Toney by unanimous decision,Peters hasn't had time to learn how to out box James Toney

comments??
I think your absolutely right about asking the ref about that so everyone can hear it so if it does happen something should be done about it. I never thought of that either. Vary good post man. I really hope Toney can pull this off and convince the judges he's the winner.
