Ala montell griffin one.. Toney won that fight like crazy.. for the first 6 or 7 rounds of the first griffin fight he didnt get touched.. He was off balance a couple of times and everything was blocked..

Granted though.. Toney is hard to score.. It seems judges are just so half arsed today though.. All they see is punches bieng thrown..
Click right back,

This is my first opportunity to post anything since I posted the result earlier. I have read all of the posts since with interest.

Toney is one of my favourite fighters and hearing he won by split decision disturbed me. This should have been an easy win for James. Of course, I havent seen the fight and this makes it all the more frustrating for me. I would like to judge with my own eyes what is happening with Toney.

Im surprised Toney didnt come out with more fire and try to make a statement. Plodding to a sloppy decision surely, was not the order of the day. Surely the boos from the crowd must have made some kind of impression. I dont know. Still, Toney admitted his performance was not good and 6 pounds lighter he was too.

I hope we see Toney in another relatively light fight and a few pounds more trimmer. And I hope he does this within 3 months....

I have not drawn a verdict on James Toney yet...
I agree.. I think perhaps its worth carrying on with the weight loss...
But inportant more so to work on building muscle.. He looked strong for the second peter fight..
Even caught sam with a couple good shots and didnt look weak.. Just never got a rythym in the fight..

I will look for toney to pace himself to a big fight again ..hopefully a title fight and for him to get in shape..Even holyfield shape was good..
Exactly. I think the second Peter fight may have been a wake up call to James. He knows he was getting rocked by hard punches and he knows he lost that fight. That he will lose 6 pounds in a comeback against an unknown is a positive sign. So what if he looked rusty, its if he can build on it, bit by bit, is what im looking for. I want to see Toney back in action and soon. And I want to actually see the fight.
