I know this is late but i just saw the fight (thanks Tracee) while i was out in the field i alot of people said Toney didn't prove anything, of course i disagree. Booker showed pretty good skill, but toney was just too much for him, Toney won every single round with 1 hand, he hurt his left arm in round 1 and continue to fight with 1 arm and did great. He did the same to Booker as he did to Holyfield, although it was obvious that he had alot more respect for Holy's power than booker. I also think booker could still do good in the Div, he fights like Kirk Johnson, and is 6'3 i don't think anyone else in the Div can do to booker what toney did, Toney's skill and speed is too much for anyone in the HW div right now.

I would have a hard time making anyone the favorite over Toney including Vitali

Are you getting these videos from that German site?

I read in the new Ring magizine that Jirov VS Toney II has a good chance of going down in December on HBO, I would love to see the rematch.

That's the problem with press dates and magazines. Toney has since injured himself again and will be out six months.

Jirov, however, may still keep his date and I believe is facing Joe Hipp in December if all goes right.

Man, dont worry about the shipping at all. You were so close by that it only cost like $7 , and that's both packages combined. the tapes themselves are on me ;) I'm just glad you got them alright; I was getting worried.

Hardly. She (my RJJ imitation :D ) is a fellow boxing fan that knows how bad it SUCKS to not be able to see the boy's do their thing in the ring! Sorry, but my 80's are limited to Norris, Morrison, Mercer and alot of Holyfield

Toney put a patient beating on that man. He proved he belongs, thats enough for now

No, I record them onto new, blank tapes when they come on. Then I make copies for the few that really, really will die without them (after feeding my ego....joking, ask around, I dont have one!!!) :D

I dont understand (help me to :D ) you still have all the tapes? But no vcr?? A vcr can be replaced; the tapes cant. Am I missing something here? (it wouldnt be a first, believe me)

Give me a list and I'll make copies of the ones that I have. Some of the fights I sent the original (stupid, I know, dont do that anymore) and I'm still waiting on them to get back from overseas. I think I have the Pac-Marquez here at home though. I'll let ya know, and if you want to private mess. me your address I'll try and help you catch up.
