That is per some "tweets", so it still needs to be confirmed by the boxing sites. Twitter is the only source of information on the fight since it wound up not being televised on FSN as advertised. One of the people tweeting was doing so from ringside, however - and uploaded a couple of brief clips of video taken with their cellphone.
He needed 10 rounds to dispose Reed? I just read a thread that the man weighed 257lbs, that corresponds to that... :-(
It is worth noting that Toney supposedly made only $5,000 for this bout - and earlier today he called out retired NFL player (and current radio co-host of Max Kellerman on Los Angeles' KSPN) Marcellus Wiley for an MMA match. It could be that James sees MMA as the more lucrative career choice now even though he sucks at it, and plans to just cash in on his name in that sport instead of taking boxing the least bit seriously (since he can automatically headline in MMA as a circus sideshow act, whereas in boxing he'd have to pay his dues and work his way up on small cards to get back to a big payday). That would explain his weight...and being unable to finish a tomato can like Reed.
toney needs to retire. he wants 2 figh the klits. but instead of fightin the best besides the klits he fight a no namer. way to put a good case for u to fight for the belt. ur old n u wanna fight the best u but ur fightin bums . step the competition up . u wont cuz u kno u will lose. can this guy stop fightin plz he took steriods hes a fraud.
He probably doesn't want to fight the Klitschkos anymore. After this, he is probably done with boxing IMO. Too little payoff per effort. He's going to just keep embarrassing himself to turn a quick buck in mixed martial arts.
I heard a recent interview from Toney, for this fight, and he didn't sound all that thrilled. He is probably done with boxing. As IB has said, he can headline some MMA circus event because they'll eat it up and Toney will be able to make a bit of a decent living for awhile. Suffering no damage and laying on a floor for 3 minutes before he taps out and gets a good paycheck. If I were him that sounds good to me too.
A no namer? Damon Reed is no "no namer"... The man featured in the only HW titlebout in history that lasted under a minute! He will be in the record books for a long, long time, the man is a legend! No namer pffff :bart
OK...Toney must have made a little more than $5k, as Reed reportedly got paid $7500. No way in hell did Dangerous Damon earn more than even this disgraced version of Lights Out. Still, it was probably a smaller purse than he'll get for taking dives in the UFC.
Well, it was a clean sweep - 100-90 on all the cards. I'm ready to fight for the title, said Toney. I'll fight anybody. Riiiight.
