I was at ringside for Toney-Lebedev

You want Toney to keep fighting? Damn, are you a sadist?

 

In the ring or the octagon?

 

Yeah in the second round you could see he did something to his knee.

Sadly you could also see how the fight was going to progress, no footwork due to his knee. A pawing jab followed by a shoulder roll and a counter right cross that never landed as it was slow and off balance.

Either he got old or his knee was giving him that much trouble it affected his game plan.

Props to you Blade for getting out to the fight!:good

 

After watching the fight second time I notest that knee really did bother him.

I wonder how much better, that match would have go without injury

 

Yes he hurt his knee, but I think it was cause he is old and not fit enough.

 

Title shot? What on earth are you smoking? The man is done. Game over.

 

I knew it!!!I knew there was a reason he lost!!Lets get that knee in order,James.Then we can finally see Hopkins-Toney!!

 

Damn, I'm writing that down so I can use it in my next thread.

 

I dont understand this joke :|

Whats so funny about it. Is it some Russian thing?

 

*noticed

 

:rofl:rofl

Toney fans are still delusional even after Lebedev beat the **** out of him, what a surprise :nut

 

Obviously Toney had problems with his left foot/leg from round two on. I think the long years as a pro finally catch up to James - plus he didn't really care about his body, like a Bernard Hopkins does. Losing about 60lbs in a few months at age 42/43 certainly does not help either..

Toney looked somehat half-decent in the first round, it was the only close round (Lbedev still took it), but that said, I think he would have lost this fight regardless, even without injury. He seemed weight-drained to me, like in the Roy Jones fight, no power, no energy, no speed.. Maybe he would have won a couple rounds, but not the fight.

Props to Toney for not quitting though, when he could just have taken the easy way out. He stayed in the fight with a bad knee for 11 rounds against a younger, bigger, stronger opponent. There is no quit in Toney and he is a tough son of a b*tch. Lebedev was not able to take him out.

I think Toney should listen to his body now and finally retire. He's an ATG and there's nothing more to prove. He's slurring his speech too (more than ever).

 

manny 'notest' pacquiao

 

Just get the knee in order and beat up on journeyman for a few years. TOney has earnt the right to do that and earn a bit of money
