    116-112 Toney. Pretty clear victory imo. Sosa tried hard but Toney was too accurate.

    Probably because they were giving Sosa points for effort. he never stopped throwing punches. But he simply wasn't landing many of them with any effect.

    That or they are full of ****. Probably the latter.

    He was definitely full of heart. Would have been a REAL handful if he was a tad more skillful.

    Sosa's lack of technical skill is legendary.He made sung-kil Moon look like Ray Robinson.
