I'm kinda split on this fight. After seeing this vid my hearts telling me Toney can do it again at age 43 and after having lost 60lbs within a few months. But I don't know of he can have the energy to keep a very heavy handed tough Russian off him for 12 even with his defence. Style wise Toney has all the advantages but looking back over the last 3 years, since the Peter fight, Toney has done **** all and fought no one of merit and whe. He has fought he's looked well past it. lebedev is underestimated, just because one judge had a shot Roy jones winning going. Into the tenth don't mean ****. Lebedev is one tough son of a *****. He got robbed against Marco Huck in Berlin after busting hucks ribs in that fight. Several of his opponents can testify to his heavy handedness, and Huck even said he's never been hit as hard. Lebedev could hurt Toney if the weight loss becomes an issue and has weakened him. But we will only find out on fight night. My heart says Toney but my head is still preventing me from putting money down on him. I just struggle to see Toney after all these years put in another performance in his advanced age and condition.
too bad he waited this long and wasted the last 6 or 7 years....but amazing how losing all that fat makes him look alot younger and i bet he talks better because all that fat around his neck is gone...
Here we go again. If the American wins it is because he is great. If he loses, well, pick your excuse. TYPICAL
Thought was old footage myself! I just hope that after the fight there isn't any kinda bs testing positive for steroids or anything else. JT looks good!, for the way he fights your not going to see alot of combo work, I always looked at toney as a counter puncher.
You could be right....but JT was diagnosed with a thyroid condition which has been treated after his last fight.
Toney is looking great. Also great news that WBA is putting their title on the line. JT will be world champion come November fourth. :happy Lights out time!!!
