James Toney v Randy Couture

[skel1983]

I'm still annoyed, I mean Toney is an annoying buggerhimself, but few could have wanted to see him lose like that. Sat on and and humped for a good 3 minutes! All that writhing and loose flesh hanging all over the place. It was one of the most vulgar things I have ever seen and reminded me completely why I so dislike MMA.

What a horrid sport and shame on Toney for ever going through with this freak show when he could have instead maybe fought another tune up and then gone in there with someone like David Haye. Such a waste of time. 9 months training for that grunt of a sport?

I've been trying to relax by reading a book, but I keep getting horrid flashbacks to that 'fight'. What kind of man likes to watch that kind of thing anyway?

Toney has lost the plot mate he has a big ego and obviously wont listen to anyone but he needs to hang them up his speech is worrying they even used subtitles on the ufc promo his fight against Fres Oquendo last year showed how washed up he was no top ten fighter should touch him Haye would kill him, the guy has been a legend but time for him to retire from all forms of fighting imo.

I agree that he should retire, but he could have retired with a little more dignity in the sport that he actually knows. What happened today was predictable, but still humiliating. The Oquendo fight was there for all to see as was Peter 2. No doubt Toney was on the slide, but you wouldn't ever see him sprawled like a whale with a big muscle mary trying to have intercourse on top of him. Ooh, it gives me the shivers!

Toney lives on Planet Toney these days and he seems quite intent on making a huge tit of himself. A damn shame because skill wise he is one of the greats.

Toney - Dignity? Is that a joke?

He got a reported $750,000 for this fight. He's worth two bob in boxing. It's just about the money.. like all fights

WTF is ufc/mma`s obsession with boxing?

As said a million times the 2 sports are entirely different to eachother. Pretty sure if i stuck a prime muhammad ali onto a football field his performance would be distinctly average.

I dont mind UFC/MMA fans personally, but they need to stop with all this which is the better sport shit. So there top boy beat up a washed up blubb of a mess who was being destroyed by any half decent boxer, big deal

Couture is no where near the top boy but I agree stupid fight and even more stupid was the people who gave Toney a chance.

Wish I never stayed up for it. It was shameful. It wasnt even a clean takedown but Toney is so off blance now he is that fat, that he couldnt stay on his feet. In a way he deserves it for talking so arrogantly.

Didnt like the chants of UFC or how smug Rogan was. Strange that they didnt once reference that a washed up Ray Mercer Knocked out heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia with 1 punch in MMA a couple years back.

Toney hasnt affected his boxing career with this farce but it has made him somewhat of a joke figure in the public eye. He said he wants to stay in MMA but he will just be a steeping stone for those guys. If cant even find teh motivation to get in shape he was never going to take MMA seriously

[skel1983]

Here it is for anyone who hasnt seen it.

Fuck me, Toney never even got to throw a single punch. No wonder those MMA guys are creaming their pants.

$750,000 for spending three minutes getting tripped over, tapped on the head a few times then made uncomfortable. Easiest dough he's ever made. Lucky cunt.

Probably because Kimbo Slice choked out Mercer in about 90 seconds.

Search Youtube "Kimbo Slice Ray Mercer".

Toney bugged Dana White for about a year for a fight. Don't make it seem like this was something dreamed up by the UFC. Toney asked for the fight.

If there's any question about boxers doing MMA again:

White: "We won't be doing any more boxing" after Toney's UFC 118 loss"

After James Toney (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) was forced to tap out (or wave out, if you choose to be technical) in the first round of his UFC 118 contest with Randy Couture on Saturday night at Boston's TD Garden, White said he's done with boxers making their way to the organization – no matter who it is.

Can everyone please quit crying about how MMA took advantage of a poor out of shape over the hill boxer......


Toney asked for this, he is the one who hyped boxing vs mma. Couture barely even acknowledged it was an issue.

I am starting to hate boxing fans after hearing all the crying. It was a fight and Toney lost.

Who gives a shit about what would happen any other sport. A fight is a fight, and one guy won and the other guy lost and it's over.

No doubts he did it for the money, but his career didn't need to culminate in this farce. What a joke. Still a million dollars for 3 minutes laying on his back isn't to be sniffed at, I guess. The man needs to be kept away from BK though or it will be gone within a matter of months and he will be running his mouth again.

[Gandalf]

MMA is obviously not my thing and I don't think I will watch it again, but Randy Couture seems like a decent enough chap. I was watching this post fight interview and he came across well and was honest enough about what would happen if he faced Toney in the boxing ring. Fair play to him on doing what he had to do. I think it's an ugly and aesthetically unpleasing type of sport, but thems the rules and he applied them as he should. It's like people who criticize Floyd for not going to war, he is only applying his trade in the best way that he knows how. Couture would have been silly to stand up and trade with Toney and bigger fool Toney for trying to get into something that he just doesn't know.

[Hornfinger]

I had Toney winning on my scorecard and i think we can all agree it was a premature stoppage.

[Mar]

Oh god i hope this is the end of all this mma vs boxing crap. This was just another meaningless win for mma for them to brag about and another silly thing about boxing people can tease us about. They sent a in shape 50 year old man in there to beat up on some mumblling fat old guy and bam !!! What a surprise. I heard after the fight james toney said he could coach USC to and no 1 rating in one year......is anyone going to belive, follow, and watch that junk either lol ha ha.
