http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PtXc-Zumlo And here's Toney's second last fight against Lucas Browne , which he weighed 250 pounds for
Wow that was a close fight. He doesn't look as bad as I thought and now hes down to 220 I think he wins tomorrow
Did you watch the whole fight then ? Ive been slated many times on here for saying i scored it a draw, Toney did fade in the later rounds but the home advantage definetly played a part , and if you take into account Browne wrestling tactics he could have been easily docked a point !
Yes I watched it. I think a draw is a fair score. Toney landed the better punches in many of them rounds.
if the toney that fought brown turns up any one of the other fighters just needs to go in and out with the jab for a few rounds and the jobs done, toney is a slow lump.
He's 35 pounds lighter than when he fought Browne , and ill also add as i stated several times before ,the browne fight was a DRAW , it was no where near as one sided as some think, Toney might have a chance of at least getting past the first fight if he still has something left
why are people sure that because he's 35lb lighter that he's gonna be in better shape, im sure that when he does take that tshirt off he'll look nothing like 'in shape'
Well i guess at his height 35lb is a lot of extra bulk which would definetly slow him up, i dont think he will ever have a muscular physique like other fighters again , at the end of the day he's 45 and has fluctated in weight massively since Holyfield , but he had to be training to lose that weight , basically burning more cals than you consume , so without doubt he has to be fitter i know as much as anyone that he is faded and is near the end , but i still think if fit he has some skills left but i guess at 8.pm tonite we will find out whether its his lights or Leggs that goes out !
Cool another person that agrees , there is a thread i started in the general boxing forum called please score this fight , You can vote on a poll
Even though i'm impressed James has got down to around 215lbs, i'm not going to get sucked in again that the weight loss will make a difference. I remember after watching this training video for his Cruiserweight clash with Lebedev and actually thinking he may pull off a shock victory but in reality he lost every second of every round to Lebedev.
