    Toney didn't KO Nunn with one shot

    Nunn would've played with McCallum, esp the first six rounds

    Well yes, but i was hoping for a rise elsewhere :D

    The scores at the time of the stoppage tho were 97-93, 99-91 and 98-92. Toney had been into "needs a knockout to win" territory for some time.

    And you did get one, didn't you? :D

    That was bit of home-town scorecards, though.

    I had Nunn 1 or 2 pts ahead going into the 11th.

    I watched the fight again, and Toney seemed ahead. Nunn had a lot of activity, but very little achievement. Toney was stellar that night.

    Herol Graham toyed with him for six rounds before tiring. Made him look silly.

    Kalambay didn't 'play' with him as such, but completely outboxed him thoroughly.

    Yeah, those scorecards definitely were overly kind to Nunn. The fight was much closer than what those last two cards would indicate.
    Not surprising, as it was indeed a homecoming for Nunn.

    Fair enough, PP. I haven't watched the fight for many years so my memory is a bit sketchy. It would be kinda fun to watch it again actually.

    Effectively, he did. Nunn got up totally on ***** street. He held on a little while, but it was obviously over after the initial knockdown.
