    I've already done one for the first one, maybe I'll get around to doing one for the rematch.

    James Toney vs. Mike McCallum 12 Rounds @ Middleweight, December 13, 1991.

    Round 1 McCallum 10-9
    Mike landed heavier and outworked Toney by a smidge in a a back and forth round.
    Round 2 Toney 10-9 James got the shoulder roll going and blocked or parried a lot, landed some nice rights.
    Round 3 Toney 10-9 Razor close, near 10-10, Toney edged it barely with the slightly cleaner work.
    Round 4 Toney 10-9 Toney nailed Mike with several hard thudding rights, Mike's jab and counters were solid.
    Round 5 McCallum 10-9 Mike played defense, laid back and counter Toney with jabs, Toney landed a nice right.
    Round 6 Toney 10-9 Near even round with Mike landed nice counters, Toney steals it with a few savage rights.
    Round 7 McCallum 10-9 Mike defending and countering well, working the jab, hurt Toney to the body.
    Round 8 Toney 10-9 Solid Toney round, he rolled, slipped, and countered with rights uppercuts and combinations.
    Round 9 McCallum 10-9 Solid Mike round, he worked over Toney with combinations, left hooks and body shots.
    Round 10 Toney 10-9 Solid Toney round, James dominates first and last minutes, with tremendous bombs.
    Round 11 Toney 10-9 Very Close round, Mike jabbed well, but Toney landed a few nice left hooks and rights.
    Round 12 Toney 10-9 MM does well early, JT unleashes two vicious flurries that had MM out on his feet.

    116-112 James Toney

    Masterpiece between two brilliant fighters that not only saw them adjusting to each other from one round to the next, but adjusting to each others adjustments sometimes multiple times per round. Even though I had Toney winning, several of the early rounds were near even, so a draw is perfectly fine. Toney is probably one of my favorite fighters, because he's the perfect balance of offense and defense, a genuine stylistic role model that I really wish more American fighters would've emulated, but nope, they chose Mayweather instead.:ohno

    Since I know that Toney's your thing, I'll recommend someone who's basically the prototype Toney imo.
    Henry Hank vs Dick Tiger
    Or if you don't like Black and White, here's one of my favourites best fights.
    Marvin Johnson vs Saad Muhammad 1

    I always thought he beat JLC twice, if by the skin of his teeth. Ditto for Maidana I. People that paint him as having definitely lost all three of those matches (or any single one, honestly) IMO just out themselves as irrational haters in so doing.

    I agree, I had it a draw last time, and now for Floyd. I posted my actual full post on that on the classic scorecard thread. I think I've done the same for Maidana 1 as well, actually. I had that 114/114 the first time, then for Floyd on a rewatch.

    The only fight I'm adamant Floyd should've lost is the Judah fight, by DQ. If one's party interrupts the action, they're supposed to be disqualified... Where was that **** when Floyd's uncle was in the ring? Anyways.... I don't think Floyd lost a decision in his career, I had Del a Hoya 116/112 Floyd too.

    Very Good. Tiger definitely understood how to attack HH's defense. Starts with a persistent left hook to keep the counter right at home, then when hank started to move away from the left hook, Tiger cut him off with the right to the body. Doing this drives Philly Shell guys nuts.

    Tiger is very underrated. Guys a certified top 10 MW imo, crazy chin and strength too. Imo there's very few(maybe 5?) guys who'd beat him in a brawl at 160.

    Well I gave you one and you still haven't done it! But fire away if you wish.

    I need to watch Yaegashi vs Tecuapetla.
