James Toney vs. Sumbu Kalambay

Yeah that's a tough fight to call. I kind of think Kalambay takes a decision. Then again, an in shape Toney was as deadly as it gets. If I'm putting money on it, Kalambay by UD.

 

Me too

 

I might narrowly lean to a Kalambay decision. I think his jab, speed, lateral movement and general slickness might sneak him to a close decision.

 

Good call, that’s how I see it.

 

It's definitely a very possible outcome.

Interestingly Kalambay reckons McCallum broke his rib in the 5th of their rematch and it impeded him. It would be interesting if this was true tho in any event if McCallum did break one more power to him. Pretty close fight regardless 3 years after their initial bout.

 

Has to be Kalambay, quite wide even. James did not like movers. Toney is the better overall fighter though, of course.

 

Reggie Johnson and Michael Nunn were both movers and Toney managed to find a way through. This would be close, even if
Kalambay won.

 

Neither moved as well as they could against Toney, Nunn was forced to hold his feet by Bob Arum to try to be more exciting. Reggie arguably won that fight.

 

Toney by SD

 

Not in my opinion. Toney close but clear (2-4 points)

 

This would be a close fight I'm sure

Toney took over in the 2nd part of the fight. Reggie was running too much
