That certainly helps. As does patient stalking behind the jab and making the opponent fearful of his power so he takes lesser risks. The ability to cut the ring off and land first is paramount. The only thing I would bet my mortgage on is that Toney does not get knocked out, anything else is possible.
As opposed to Toney's strategy of relying on the judges to gift you wins against journeymen? Jones sent Toney staggering across the ring. If Dempsey lands the same left hook Toney doesn't wake up for ten minutes.
Did Foxwoods Toney lean on judges for his win? Did Dempsey have the reflexes of a prime Jones,Jr? So many questions.
