Man, **** Dana White. This fight is a goddamn farce. I also won't be surprised if Couture ends up fighting Shogun for the LHW title next year on the strength of his current "winning streak."
If he jumped on the back of a guy who tained in ju jitsu, he would have got reversed and slammed on the ground, possibly on the receiving end of a broken limb shortly thereafter. Anyone can choke out a 12 year old..
James Toney hasn't knocked out a fighter since 03 which was against a 41 year old Evander Holyfield and the man hasn't won a fight of significances in 5 years (Ruiz) where he got the belt taken away for steroid use. For all we know the man could be another bust like Kimbo.
I can't wait for this fight. I love these classic styles match ups. Toney is already doing his part to sell the fight. They need to do a primetime show on this one. I just hope Toney puts on a good performance. It's going to be bad for him if he gets taken down right away.
The problem is if they make a primetime show and James Toney is a complete bust ala gets taken down immediatly and beat up, people will feel cheated afterwards. And I think Toney is talking nonsense nowadays anyway. Not to mention it would turn into a huge MMA vs Boxing debate which would make Boxing look weak after the fight happens; supposing that Couture wins(like most of us know he will) On a side note, chuck ripped and ready! I can't wait to be there. If Crocop and and Iceman win by KO this card will go down in HISTORY!!! Imagine if they were in their primes, it would automatically make this card stacked.
