from seconds out



WBC mandatory heavyweight contender James Toney suffered a torn shoulder muscle in his fight against Rydell Booker and is expected to be out of action for six months. This on the heels of recovering from his torn Achilles tendon.

California promoter Dan Goossen - of Goossen-Tudor - won big with Glengoffe Johnson's ninth round knockout of Roy Jones Jr., but suffered a considerable setback with Toney now out injured, despite James winning on Thursday night.

He has the worst luck and the bad thing about this is he is at a stage in his career where he cannot afford to have layoffs. Injurys like these have the potential to ruin the rest of his career and chances in the ring.

you got that right Wez poor guy :(

6 months??? that means VK will probaly fight someone else after williams.... and then toney might want to take another tune up after the lay off, so we might not see vk/toney until a year or more from now...

i dunno mate, dont forget williams vitali is over 2 months away so then we have the xmas break a month, that leaves just over 2 months. Its feasible that Toney might heal quicker and be ready to box in april then a bout with Vitali (assuming he wins) could still be made?

Toney should stop doing the juice but then again he can't....

Toney will look like **** again in his next tune up.
He should just stick to eating competitions and masturbation sessions with Tom Arnold.

Just because it's liquid doesn't mean it's juice.
He's been sucking down months old deep fryer oil.

i just reckon he only wants to fight every six months so exaggerates either the injury or the time its taking to heal. :p

He must have an excellent masking routine.....

the injury is real but like any seasoned pro ,,making a trainer or physio believe its worse than it is should be childs play.

is was a dig at tubbys training regime though :D

All of his injuries are typical of juicers....in fact the first thing any decent Dr. would ask him is how much he is using.

Dude thats my point! Toney sure he a great fighter but these Toney scrotum sailers make laughable statements like "Toney is the best heavy out there". The man can't fight more than once a year w/out injury.. LOL and he's the savior of the division. You know after the shoulder heals he'll fight another scrub for a tune-up fight! Mark my words Toney will never fight VK for the belt. Assumuing VK keeps it a while, this is the heavies ya never know!

Great now we get to listen to Toney talk more sh1t about how great he is and how Vitali is ducking him. I'll be glad when Toney fights somebody good at heavy so I can see him get knocked out. If Tua ever comes back I'd like to see him and Toney mix it up.

i just wanna see wlad fight these guys...him against toney would be good..

id actually give em both a good chance.wlads power jab and reach advantage up against the counter punching and sturdy chin of toney.
could be a great matchup and a way for wlad to get back on track.

well we wont be seeing toney-jones so who knows
