MMA vs. Boxing (Couture vs. Toney)

This sums it up pretty well. Personally I don't think they should have even allowed Toney to fight Couture until he proved himself. Actually a good opponent for Toney would have been Liddell. That would be a lot more competitive considering Liddell pretty much is a stand up fighter.

 

If Couture does his usual feint kick to the legs, punch up top, fall into clinch then Toney could immediately be caught off guard from the kick.

 

yeah but that punch by couture will more than likely be countered by james even if there is the feint, i dont expect randy to throw any strikes in the first few minutes, for such a freak show fight this fight has me really intrigued, cant wait

 

Its funny Floyd fans back him when he talks much more **** than Toney, but he does not back it up. Toney talks ****, but he always backs it up in the ring and a lot of so called boxing fans hate him for it.

This is boxing vs MMA and all the so called boxing fans are putting down a legend of the sport of boxing and defending MMA. If you so called boxing fans really love the sport of boxing you would support Toney based on that alone, you should discard whether you personally like him or not.

Regarding UFC, its Dana White (the Vince McMahon of MMA) that has constantly criticized boxing and boxers. He is always putting boxing down. He says its corrupt, its unfair, no good fighters and no good match ups are there, etc., etc. This is just another example of White's disrespect and ego by putting down Toney and calling this fight a freak show, saying Toney is a joke, etc. He should show the respect that Toney deserves, he is after all one of the greatest fighters of all time.

The UFC is the joke and its operated much like the WWE (I am not saying the UFC is fake, I am referring to the way its managed/promoted, etc.) and I bet the same morons who are die hard fans of WWE are die hard fans of UFC. That just shows the IQ level of a lot of WWE and UFC fans is probably around 80. Dana Whites hypocrisy is plain as day. He calls boxing a joke, when his heavyweight champion is a former WWE wrestler who was given a title shot after only 2 fights, one of which Lesnar lost in an embarrassing fashion. And White complains about boxing's heavyweight division. I can't think of anything more pathetic than a former WWE wrestler going in and defeating a so called legend. That says a lot about UFC that a fake wrestler can beat their top heavyweight legend. He used to criticize Kimbo and say he would never sign him because he was a joke, but then he signs him into the UFC.

White says UFC is better than boxing, bit when Roy Jones challenged their so-called P4P fighter, Silva, White refused to let Silva fight Jones in the boxing ring. He wants boxers to go into UFC and challenge MMA fighters and when they lose he says,"see UFC fighters are better than boxers", but he flat out refuses to let his fighters go and compete in the boxing ring. White is nothing, but a hypocrite.

Toney was exactly right when he criticized the UFC for giving a guy with 12 losses a status as a legend. He also hit the nail right on the head when he criticized the UFC's Hall of Fame criteria. Putting fighters in the Hall of Fame when they are still actively fighting, instead of waiting until some time has past after their retirement . The best way to gauge a fighters career is to let some time pass after their retirement. History is the best way to judge if a fighter should be in the hall of fame.

 

How is pointing out that he is going to get beaten easily by a 47 year old man "disrespecting" him?

He has never fought MMA, he is going to lose in embarrassing fashion; it is a freak show, it is nothing else.

 

The kick/feint would be designed to get him out of position both mentally and physically.

I'm well intrigued. Can't wait for it. I'm intrigued because Toney has been training for months but none of us have a clue what he is really doing.
