James Toney returns January thirtieth...

I'm yet to find any information on whether this will be streamed anywhere.

I'd take even a Mike Perez vs. Darnell Wilson type of deal where a member of Toney's entourage is recording it on his cell phone and broadcasting it live. :conf

 

No updates yet. No stream.

 

Holy ****! Toney lost a UD to Charles Ellis!! atsch

 

Ellis came in with a 9-3-1 record - only thirteen bouts under his belt at 40 years old in a career going back eleven years.

His best result before Toney was a technical draw with Emerson freaking Chasing Bear.

 

He is 6'5", though.

Once upon a time, James Toney could sacrifice a full 7" to even a quality heavyweight and rely on his skill and reflexes to emerge victorious. No longer, it would seem. :verysad

Here's to some good coming of this: I fully expect retirement news within a week.

Next time we see Toney ought to be his induction ceremony in 2021 (his first year of IBHOF eligibility)

 

There was a time when all of Toney's losses (Jones, Griffin x2, Thadzi, Peter x2, and Lebedev) were at least to world class fighters as of when he fought them.

Dropping a UD to Lucas Browne was a sign he should hang them up.

Losses to Gavern (although it - like Peter I and, some would argue, Griffin I & II and Thadzi - was a robbery) and now Ellis are proof that he really should've minded the sign.
