    Briggs' fight last night was cancelled when the opponent failed the physical. Toney was in town for the fight. A funny scene with a great headline...
    ----------
    Shannon Briggs Fight Called after Opponent Fails Medical Test, James “Lights Out” Toney Sets Down his Ice Cream to Call Out Former Champ

    According to a source inside the hotel Briggs’ publicist arrived at the front desk of the Hilton Garden Inn and asked if there were any packages for the fighter. At that time Toney, who reportedly had his hands full with Haagen Dazs ice cream and Cheetos, made a disparaging remark about Briggs.

    After Toney made his comment Briggs’ publicist, unaware of who Toney was, approached him, noticed the pile of junk food and tried to ascertain his identity. When the publicist commented that he must not be one of the boxers Toney appeared to become enraged, threatening to kick Briggs’ butt right in the lobby.
    --------------
    BTW, Jirov won his fight against a losing record nobody who hadn't fought in a year.

    LOL, good story, though I doubt that 'source inside the hotel' is reliable.

    Transworldnews doesn't seem like the best of sources itself, but they write a good headline!

    Likely, although with Toney we never know.

    Getting a SD win against Danny Batchelder not long ago doesn't ooze of confidence.

    Yeah, why not. Both are old, neither is going anywhere. Why NOT fight each other?

    Is Toney really gunning to be a last minute sub? Great idea if they could put it together, but it seems unlikely.

    No, the card was over the weekend and Briggs' fight was just cancelled. Toney was just there to see the fight.

    Briggs is in BIG trouble. You know that when Toney lets go of his ice cream then he means business!
