FF: Rahman can be a handful when he decides to use his jab, sometimes being known to throw 40 or 50 a round… How does James take away the jab?

FR: James is a very slick fighter, and just by establishing distance and using his own jab to get a little bit closer it will be no problem at all. If that’s all Rahman’s got, he’s in trouble. I mean who has he fought lately? He struggles with guys like Al Cole and I’m just not really impressed with Rahman. He’s a strong guy yes, but there are a lot of strong guys out there. James is just too slick for him in my opinion.

Freddy talks quite a bit about the trouble Rahman will have hitting Toney.

He also seems to think Toney may come in at 217 - 220 which seems a but unrealistic... :o
