i want him to win too. i guessed Toney was going to win but im gonna change my mind now. Couture by submission.
We are finally seeing training footage. His boxing looks good but he is fat as ****. He is throwing wild shots and when he is fat is balance is rubbish in boxing let alone MMA. If he hasn't lost considerable weight and he throws shots like that then he'll get taken down and buried. It does look like he is practicing other things so that becomes a question mark. I think Toney can win but in terms of grappling he is facing a man who has grappled on a level with Gonzaga, Nog, Brock and Tito.
From the dmg Silva done to Chael on the bottom it is very very possible toney can KO randy from the bottom. Sweet science. Big Punch + Weak Chin = KO Randy.
Right, because punching from your back is just like punching with your feet set in a boxing match, and when Toney is doing that he has huge power. I think that what you've predicted is incredibly likely to happen and I further believe that you're a genius with incredible knowledge (and perhaps also a great deal of first hand experience) of mma as well as boxing.
Most likely James will lose but even in a loss I gurantee James proves he's more than capable fighting in MMA. And I won't be surprised one bit if James clips Randy and we see the Tim Silvia and Mercer situation all over again.
I doubt Toney has even bothered training his ground game despite what he says. He knows that no matter how hard he works he can do nothing but hope to catch Randy with a lucky punch. He's gonna get the **** beat out of him, but you have to respect his self belief.
