Right so most will know..James Toney is my man..Love the way he fights, love him he can do no wrong to me....
But i do not make excuse for any fighter without legitimate reason..I wont make up crap to say why my man lost... But i got some issues with sam peter here....
First point.. Sam looked great in the first round..I mean heavyweights are known for bieng slow and flat footed ..But he impressed me something crazy with some very niec jabs early..
One thing i did notice which was very very nice is he was throwing two or three at a time..AND stepping in with the jabs looked very nice and was effective..So with sam's opening props out of the way.. Lets begin..
This whole rabbit punching thing is a big issue for me.. Toney leans..and that sometimes invites punches to the side of the head.. and leaves him open for shots behind the ear whether intentional or not..
But sam peter really took the piss in this fight..When hes leant right to his side fine..Thrw your punches overhand or not and it doesnt matter where they land..Although in all fairness..Better to stay with hooks and uppercuts..But when they are folded over and your giving them big overhand rights purposely on the back of the head..That becomes fucking ridiculous.. No wonder he started to gas out and was wobbled those punches should never have hit him there..
Also i was mad at the knockdown..Not at the ref or at peter..But damn it was a jab and he only went over because he was flat footed and he feet werent placed properly.
I noticed even when he did get hurt with these illegal punches early that he was still slick as he had always been so i dont see him bieng shot from there...
Round 3 now...All toney he looked good man..took it to peter for at least two minutes of the round..
Nice snappy one two's.
Round 4..Close..I gave it to toney..They were standing flat..3 from toney 3 back from peter..2 from peter..two from toney.. jabs here and there from both..But for the best part of the last minute it was toney beating sam to the punch n throwin jabs..If this round went to peter..It was that flurry at the end..Which appeared to have peter getting the best..although toney was still throwing.. But the way i score..I wouldnt have given peter that round..
5..Alot of messy trading..Another thing sam does is he pushes the head back with an open glove..
Now that is not right..he often was palming the face back and setting up those overhand illegal punches many landing on the ear and back of the head..
But round to peter.. i had it even most of the round until peter landed more and cleaner single shots at the end..so i would have to score it peter..But not convincing as a fan that he had james' number.
6.Peters round..nice punches..Again..That's james..James wasnt busy enough and gave it away..Although looked busyer in the last minute..Still not enough without any genuinely clear shots to steal it.
