View Full Version : Who watching the Fight on Thursday?
Eyeh8you 09-20-2004, 05:31 PM TONEY vs BOOKER
your thoughts please.
Mine,
Toney eeks out a UD or SD
this won't be that easy of a fight for Toney as every one thinks (might even supriseToney at times). 1) long layoff due to serious injury. 2) Rydell is actually a pretty decent fighter.
still Toney takes it on Cards
Sir_Jose 09-20-2004, 05:40 PM Hell yeah I'll be watching this.
I also expect a tougher fight than people think. Booker can fight and has talent, but his biggest problem is his lazyness.
I think Toney stops him late
Explosivo 09-20-2004, 05:41 PM I want to watch but I have school that night. Does anyone know what time the main event starts?
Neuraxis 09-20-2004, 05:42 PM If Toney doesn't KO Booker or win a vast majority of the rounds in a very lopsided UD, Toney's chances of getting a HW title shot with VK are going to be shot. Rydell Booker is horrible. He is the 74th ranked heavyweight according to Boxrec. He has fought no one, is yet another cruiserweight, and in his most recent fight he SD'd Tipton Walker who was 13-7 at the time but is now 13-9 after having lost to Booker and getting TKO'd by Hoffman in the 7th.
NiGe2011 09-20-2004, 05:43 PM I have yet to see Booker fight so I don't know what he brings to the table. Does the guy have any power or handspeed? It is never a good sign when you are an undefeated fighter who is a tune up bout...
Dark Destroyer 09-20-2004, 05:47 PM I cannot wait for this fight, i am curious to see how well Toney has recovered from his injury and layoff. Toney says he knows nothing about him, he even says he hasn't watched any fights of his. I personally haven't heard of Rydel Booker before, could Toney be underestimating him? I read that Rydel used to be a crusierweight or something so he isn't a natural heavyweight just like Toney.
The Fix 09-20-2004, 09:48 PM i am predicting it a shocking KO loss for toney that will stop his momentum :)
Marjoh 09-20-2004, 10:30 PM I've been waiting for this fight, and I'm not just saying because I can't afford PPV (poor me, lol), but also because I want to see if Toney really is the best contender out there. But then again, his win over Booker won't really prove a lot IMO. And also, is it just me, or those Best Damn Sport Show, Period guys don't know a lot about boxing?
QueenCity 09-20-2004, 10:48 PM This fight could be dangorus for Toney, from what i've read of Booker he is a pretty good propect and may very well give Toney all he can handle. I'll be watching.
doomeddisciple 09-20-2004, 10:49 PM Toney's been training very hard, I'd still say points victory for Toney though.
QueenCity 09-20-2004, 11:14 PM I'm offically pissed off, here Fox Sports is showing the Braves/Reds game insead of the fight. I guess they will re air the fight at a later time, but I like to watch boxing live. :mad:
Neuraxis 09-20-2004, 11:19 PM Who is telling you people that Booker is good?
Sir_Jose 09-20-2004, 11:21 PM He's fought on FNF before and you can see he does have talent, but like I said his problem is being lazy
MrUnstoppable 09-20-2004, 11:28 PM Anytime Toney is on the tv, I'm watching. I think it is awesome that Toney is fighting on a cable network like Fox Sports Net. This should be great exposure for the sport.
Neuraxis 09-20-2004, 11:38 PM How do you barely beat someone as bad as Tipton Walker and have talent.
BoxingCollector 09-20-2004, 11:58 PM :D Did ya see the Best D*mn Sports Show today?
:rolleyes: Toney and his big mouth! :D

ghostbear 09-21-2004, 03:27 PM I have digital cable but I have never seen BDSS on any of my channels. I have Fox Sports World but not Fox Sports Net. Too many channels to keep up with. I would like to see Toney fight so I can decide what round I think Vitali will knock him out in.
Atman 09-21-2004, 03:58 PM Don't try to renig on your bet and act like Sat. night never happened, eyeh8you.

Toney is unsure of himself, that's why all the talk! :D
I wish I got that "Sunshine" channel, they have fights all
the time on it, I do get FSN which will show Apeman vs Booker T!
:D I hope Booker T does to Toney what Tarver did to RJJ!! :D
Looking at his record, Toney picked a bum to pad his record
with until the Vitali fight! ;)

:D Priceless! :D
Dr.Pugilist 09-21-2004, 04:34 PM I'll definitely be watching the Toney/Booker fight.
JT is extraordinarly brash and trashy in his boxing persona, but the kind of vitriol he spews is great for ratings. He's also old school and extremely fun to watch (provided he is in half decent shape).
Does anyone have information on the press conference with Toney and Booker?
.::|ULTIMATE|::. 09-21-2004, 04:40 PM im gonna watch... if i have the channel.
Eyeh8you 09-21-2004, 05:53 PM oh yeah forgot about that
was it
I talk boxing but know nothing about boxing?
Atman 09-21-2004, 06:04 PM Yes sir...
Cleary23 09-21-2004, 06:18 PM Toney will knock him out forsure.
Is it on FOx?
Eyeh8you 09-21-2004, 06:34 PM There good enough
realheavyhands 09-21-2004, 07:32 PM naw...... booker might be good but ders only 1 thing that will discourage toney as a heavyweight and thats power.. booker dont got non... toney will knock em out
Eyeh8you 09-21-2004, 08:00 PM :D Priceless! :D

grayfist 09-21-2004, 11:20 PM I have yet to see Booker fight so I don't know what he brings to the table. Does the guy have any power or handspeed? It is never a good sign when you are an undefeated fighter who is a tune up bout...Booker's manager who put him up against Toney is a big fool or a genius. A manager who makes his undefeated fighter go up against a former- marquee opponent who has been, likewise, undefeated in the course of his come back...? In a tune up fight for the former star? If he knows something special, he's the most astute manager seen in decades and should be put on the fast lane to Canastota. If he doesn't, well, he doesn't know much else and should be made to crawl into that place where the sun doesn't shine!Who is he, anyway?
Neuraxis 09-21-2004, 11:49 PM He realizes that Booker is horrible. His record is really misleading. Don't buy into the hype.
grayfist 09-21-2004, 11:56 PM He realizes that Booker is horrible. His record is really misleading. Don't buy into the hype.Don't know Booker from Adam. I'll take your advice. Thanks! But I won't turn the TV off on any fight with "Lights Out" on it; even the one against Booker, if only to see how far has Toney gone--- either way. :)
