Toney talks about his loss to Randy

I couldnt finish it :-(

I feel bad for Toney but then i dont.... idk. He should have took his mma training more seriously, and its something he should have prepared a lot longer with. His training team was a complete joke for the most part outside of one or two members, and just everything, he set himself up to fail and took boxing with him.

oh well, its done, its over with..... Toney is still delusional, calling himself the champ, but oh well, he is indeed a legend and if he wants to call himself that after what hes given in boxing then so be it, my problem with that is hes going to fool himself into continuing.

The problem with these boxers like Toney and Roy, is that they feel if they stop boxing, that they somehow 'quit'. So they get this defensive attitude about how they wont quit and their pride keeps them getting beat up.

Toney should just retire, open up a resteraunt or a gym or something. I dont want to see him get beat up anymore. However, if he is going to continue, better it be mma and not boxing..... being choked out in a few minutes is a lot less damaging then getting his head beat in round after round.

Retire James, youve been a masterful fighter.... youve got nothing left to prove.

 

Im in the Marines, and people will submission grapple all the time.... its much easier on your body and its hard to do an effective job on a gun line if your trying to work with a concussion.

Unless you dont have an important job, or are on some massive downtime or libo, straight up boxing eachother would be a dumb move in most cases. Its easier to just get out some aggression through grappling and tapping someone out.

Not saying that nobody boxes, but the majority of the time its grappling. Also the USMC has the MCMAP program (basically, marine mma) so its pretty much impossible to avoid at this point.

 

What was your branch and MOS Hendo?

Boxing would be awsome but i still think that unless your going to be on libo for a few days its smarter to just do some submission grappling. Less damaging. I know if i was a NCO i wouldnt want my Marines bashing eachothers brains in while we are in the field. I suppose if we were back at the HTC it would be fine.

Thats cool though.... i think most branches still have boxing teams too if im not mistaken. im pretty sure the marines do.

 

I dont get this statement though....

How is he the only boxer with the balls? because hes the only one desperate enough to do it?

Toney was in the position to go to the UFC because point blank, he was no longer relivent in his sport. He wasnt about to get a fight with anyone with a pulse anytime soon, and hes getting to the point (based on his last fight) where he would probably start losing to low level contenders.

Why would other relivent boxers take a paycut, stop the momentum their trying to achieve in boxing, and go to a sport that has nothing to do with them?

That has nothing to do with 'balls'.

Also, james is not the only boxer to do so..

Ricardo Mayorga tried to do it and was like a week or day away from fighting Din Thomas before King stopped the fight

Ray Mercer obviously


But for the most part, boxers wont go into MMA until they have run their course in their own sport.... its only logical and its not because they lack 'balls'.
