I disagree, he won the first Toney in my opinion, it was close but he did more than Toney, was more aggressive, landing the bigger shots and actually hurting Toney there. It was close but he won it for me. Same with the McCline fight, Peter was doing better then runs into some big bombs and hits the canvas three times in two rounds. What did McCline exactly do after those knockdowns?, he went back to sparring partner mode and Peter was doing better.
Peter lost the first Toney fight. I guess you are talking about the second Toney fight. If had done those things you are talking about, why they forced Peter into a rematch? The scoring of the first fight was unjust and they forced Peter for a rematch. He lost the first fight. McCline fight was close but he lost it too.
They forced a rematch because the fight was close with too many opinions all over the place, as there were many people picking Toney many also picked Peter. I am not talking about the scoring of the rematch, talking about the first fight. Even after the rematch Toney said he thought he won.
80% of the fans were saying Toney won that fight. Only biased Toney haters (like you), Peter nut huggers and two senile in ringside scored it for Peter.
And your avatar explains what you are, a Toney nuthugger and no 80% of fans did NOT think he won that fight. Only Toney nuthuggers and a few others gave it to Toney, pretty much like the Rahman fight which was a CLEAR Rahman victory.
Samuel has got a lot better by way of boxing skills, he is sharper now and doesn't just rely on power as much as he used to.. He sets up attacks a lot better now and has a great jab that he has begun to use more, he has grown into his part a lot more than when he first boxed JT.. McCline is a massive man and Sammy was not preparing for Jameel.... But he got over a severe crisis to stay the course and prove he has what champions have , that great facility to win over all adversary odds.. I think Vitali was a great champion, but he is undoubtedly going to bring mad rust to the ring with him and it will prove his demise...
Toney didn't prove jack**** in the second fight, he was losing the first two rounds and only shined in the 3rd after the headbutt. Last I remember the fight was called a NO CONTEST. :deal Sadly this fight was close and by being close the judges' decision is final, some can say Toney won(especially nuthuggers) and some don't, the judges give the final result. The rematch was set and Toney got his ass handed to him one-sidedly despite bragging about how in great shape he was with all the pictures used as "threats". Peter didn't look surprised, he was happy and celebrating, I've seen the fight MANY times.
This is gonna **** off the Toney fans, who are a passionate bunch and I may get it in the neck, but I thought both Rahman and Peter deserved the nod in their first fights, both by 115-113. What got people most annoyed at the time with the Peter I fight is the wide scorecards...two of them had it 116-111 Peter which seems way too generous. Anyway, a Klitschko opponent with excuses? Has he no shame?
Yeah the facts were that peter was hitting Wladimir behind on the head multiple times and this wasn't the only fight where peter has done this. He hits in the back of the head all the time and in the case with Wladimir's fight the reason wasn't because Wlad was turing his back it was because he was trying to turn peter. However back to the excuses...peter cried about Wladimir not standing infront of him. No crap Wladimir didn't just stand in front of him. It is because Wlad is a smart boxer and any smart boxer isn't going to stand in front of a power punch but instead take angles which Wlad did.
