    Yeah, especially as Graham was behind on the scorecards and scored this KO in the closing seconds of the final round. It's called the "rolling thunder"... Graham his trademark!

    It wasn't the first time Graham landed it in the HL. I was suprised the first one didn't put BAdr out.

    really? so confusing Ukraine with Germany to incorrectly refer to a fighter as a Nazi is supposed to be entertaining?

    I guess its mildly funny that Toney is so ignorant he can't correctly tell the difference between the 2 countries

    so I guess it is entertaining, but it makes him sound like a fool.

    He could have just made that reference because they have lived in Germany for a long time.

    so, living in Germany and being a German citizen or of German decent are 3 different things lol

    **I have lived in the country of Japan for three years and happen to have a Japanese aunt .. but that doesn't make me Japanese.

    you don't have to blindly defend everything related to James Toney, lol

    the fact that I feel Toney embarrasses himself is an opinion. Not stating it as a fact, I just find it funny that this overweight elderly male boxer is confusing countries to incorrectly refer to fighters as Nazi's

    I guess it is entertaining, but then again the possibility of brain damage exists because Toney's speech pattern has seemed to get worse over the years. it isn't to the level of Floyd Sr. but still pretty bad.

    Yes, it's pretty disconcerting.

    Yeah, that's why wrestling doesn't work in MMA, because sprawling can be learned by anyone very easily. That's why most fights don't have any ground fighting and boxers and kickboxers dominate.

    Just make a post where you say that you don't know what you're talking about, you've never wrestled and/or never tired to box with takedowns and back slowly away from the thread. It's already obvious to anyone who knows anything, so you may as well admit it.

    Neither is boxing, there is nothing inherently hard about punching; it is the doing it at an elite level that is hard.

    No one sport is "hard" in a vacuum really, the hard thing is being better than the other guy, and Toney strands no shot in hell at that.

    :yep

    Idiot post you responded to. Sprawling isnt difficult, :rofl.

    I would like to see any SMW/LHW boxers with years and years of training on avoiding takedowns try to stop GSP taking them down.

    He just needs to get in the ring with one of these "I'm an accomplished grappler, but I really came here to brawl for the fans!!!" ******s...too bad most of them are in the lower weight classes.
