It's interesting how people can see things so very differently.
I felt that Toney threw and land many more accurate and clean counter punches and hard straight jabs. They just wern't powerful enough to really rock the Nigerian Nightmares concrete head. Its so hard for a ex middleweight to real have enough crack to hurt a really big stocky guy like Samuel. Esp when his head is bolted directly to his body without the normal use of a neck. If anything I remember Peters jabs which landed on Toneys shoulder and chest and after a while Toney almost ignored them. I think Toney is the far superior boxer and will prove it again. Although Samuel Peter is the far nicer guy and probably a much more deserving individual.
I was mostly impressed withthe fact that it was Toney who was leading with the jab throughout the fight and landing well. It was hardly a knockout punch but it was definately a scoring punch that landed at will. Hardly a "pawing"shot which is what ive heard it described as on this thread. Toney did have issues with balance and I saw the same thing against Rahman. Toney's bulk is the main factor behind this. A more streamlined Toney would help considerably. Lets wait and see for the weigh in...I cringe at the prospects ahead!!

If Toney can come in under 225 it will be something!! Possibly a miracle, but certainly something!!
