    No smack talk, nothing but respect and good words about James Toney, top guy. Optimism like that is good after a loss!

    Should be a good fight, I am looking forward to it.

    Yeah, Thompson is a classy guy, and still an underrated HW contender. I agree it will be a good fight, however if he won't take a step backwards like he said he'll play right into Toneys hands. Anyways, Toney has to bring his A game to beat that guy. I believe he will.

    im not sure...probably a local guy...not world known...but by listening to him, he knows his ****. if you get a chance, watch the fight again and listen to the guy in between rounds...great stuff, brutally honest

    Really? I didn't get to see this fight sadly. Sounds like a true gentleman.
