    Yeah, on his ASS. He was hurt, as hurt as i've seen him. It was an SD, i thought Toney won it pretty clean myself. Watching my career set. He's fighting McCallum just now, Marvellous Marvin doing the commentating!

    I really do not know why some people think Johnson deserved the nod.

    Toney dominated the second half of the fight, and kept the pressure on throughout the evening and remember he was the title holder. It was close though but by no means controversial as the challenger did not really took the title away from the champion. .

    The only time Toney was really knocked down in his career.

    I know Roy Jones and Peter knocked him down too, but these were half pushes and Toney was off balance, he wasn't hurt.

    Reggie Johnson did good, he did give Toney a tough fight and won some early rounds, but Toney catched up and finished well, close fight but Toney deserved the decision.
