James Toney is crafty and hard to hit but Thompson has a hell of a defense and a very good chin....it's a tough tough fight for James Toney
Quite ironic...In his last fight Toney fought and won(IMO) against Rahman and now Toney fights the looser of Wlads last fight whereas Rahman gets another titleshot...I think Rahman and Toney should switch roles,but on the other hand I'm gonna enjoy seeing Wlad knocking out Rahman...

As for Toney Thomson...like you said Lyle...gonna be a tough fight for Toney...will be interesting how Toney will deal with the reach disadvantage...
Agreed big time Johnny.I see this as awarding Rahmans...cough...."finding a way out" vs.Toney.He wanted nothing to do with that right hand after getting rocked and cut.

Off the top I can not get away from seeing Thompson causing some awkward problems for Toney ? Real range and gets a little clingy in there?Do not see Thompson hurting Toney but may frustrate him quite a bit.Announcers are going to have fun with this one.James Toney vs.Tony thompson...the blow by blow gives us Toney-Thompson ,Might come off a bit biased Lol.
