Stylistically Toney is A Nightmare For Peter

Terence Dooley

•Sep 1, 2006

Many people are pouring flames on Toney’s funeral pyre ahead of this weekend’s big clash at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, where Toney takes on Samuel Peter of Nigeria, yet they may have stoked up a different kind of fire inside of Toney. Come Saturday we will not be putting Toney on the pyre, he will, instead, be standing over it cooking up more choice cuts from his incredible heavyweight journey. Toney turning up for a cremation and not cooking himself some marvellous stuff to make his mouth water is not an option.

James Toney Versus Eddie Futch

Terence Dooley

•Aug 12, 2006

The two men may have been separated by time, weight divisions and fighting level yet it would be fair to say that Eddie has proven to be the most difficult opponent of James’ career. Toney found himself standing across the ring from Eddie on no fewer than four occasions. Eddie took Montell Griffin to two wins over Toney as well as guiding Mike McCallum through two fights that many, not this writer, felt should have seen Toney lose his ‘0’ prematurely. In fact it could be argued that Eddie laid out the programme for beating Toney. This is the story, as I see it, of James Toney, the trash talker supreme, versus Eddie Futch, the gentlemanly trainer of Champions.

The Phoenix is Rising Again: Interview with Hatton, Graham - Part 2

The shock of the new will be a factor as well; I asked Billy if he had ever taken a fighter against one of his own townsfolk before: “I think this is the first time. Off the top of my head, yes it’s the first time but I am professional and I will do a good job.”

The Punishment Should Fit the Crime: Looking at the One-Point Deduction Rule

•Aug 9, 2006

There has been a great amount of hullabaloo over the final cards tallied in the recent fight between Ike Quartey and Vernon Forrest. Unfortunately I have to wait until Friday to see the fight on UK TV but one facet of the judge’s scorecards caught my eye. I ought to stress right now, though, that I am a huge fan of Forrest, I am delighted he has won and could be soon in the title mix; this is not a biased attempt at presenting a rematch case for Quartey. In any case the makeup of the cards suggests to me that the fight was scored accurately apart from one, vital and glaring, error in the application of the scoring.

The Phoenix is Rising Again: Interview with Hatton, Graham - Part 1

Terence Dooley

•Aug 4, 2006

When visiting Billy Graham’s Phoenix Gym I am constantly reminded of the scene in The Godfather when Tom Hagen is asked which law firm he represents and he answers that he works for a family firm with a limited, exclusive clientele. A small clientele, when nurtured, can often create massive business. The Phoenix is now home to three boxers at very different stages in their careers overseen by Graham who has enough time to ensure that all his charges are given the full benefit of his experience.

Joe Louis: Power and Poise

Terence Dooley

•Jul 25, 2006

I was sat in a sun-seared Villa in a Spanish village watching the sports channel with my grandfather, we were watching a boxing show from France and two young fighters were contesting the regional novice title. My grandfather had boxed as a youth and as the bout began one fighter caught his eye; the guy was tall and upright and got tagged early on in the bout. His enemy advanced on him, as the hurt fighter retreated he vainly tried to return fire yet his balance was off. My grandfather said: “He won’t last long in boxing, he is trying to punch, defend and move; you can tell by the way he hits that he can’t punch. The other guy is going to walk through him.”

Jamie Moore Has The Eye of The Tiger Part 2

So what does that mean for the other title-belts, the recent spurious ones: ““I hope I can stick to what I said and go the traditional route, at the moment you’ve got the situation Andy Morris is in with Steven Foster Junior. Steven has the WBU title and Andy is British Champion, as far as I know the rules are they can fight but if Andy wins he has to decide which belt he wants to keep but Steve can’t win the British title because he’s classed as a world champion. If that was me I’d keep the British title because that is the most prestigious title and says more than the WBU, you can’t call yourself the world champion if you have the WBU title. Ricky Hatton will tell you himself that he wasn’t world champion until he beat Kostya Tszyu even though he had the WBU title. I feel if you are the British Champion you have a claim to be the best in Britain unless someone else is a world-champion and is above you in the rankings.”

Jamie Moore has the Eye of the Tiger, Part 1

•Jun 30, 2006

I usually try to steer clear of the ‘Rocky’ references but when meeting British light-middleweight Champion Jamie Moore you are struck by the tangible hunger that this fighter possesses, both for his future and for the much-anticipated next fight on his horizon, that all or nothing clash with the improving and impressive Matthew Macklin.

Give Jermain Taylor His Due

Fact is fact and the truth is that Jermain Taylor has done everything asked of him in his final exams.

Taylor Can KO His Critics, and Winky Wright

Terence Dooley

•Jun 15, 2006

It is a common theme in boxing; the young unbeaten kid takes on a wily old fighter with fading aspirations, the older man frustrates the kid and negates his style before the kid wins a tight decision then moves into title eligibility. In the case of Jermain Taylor the order was all wrong and he found himself fighting a foe with fading ambition for the world-titles when he took on Bernard Hopkins last July and then defended his newly acquired (well the ones that did not become scattered) titles in an immediate rematch. Twenty-four rounds of frustration saw Hopkins and Taylor annul one another to produce a pair of fights that could be described as either tactical or tedious. Taylor emerged with the all-important ‘W’s’ and the undisputed middleweight title, a moniker now sullied by the fights between Taylor and Hopkins. So what does a young boy do? Well in the case of Taylor he jumps straight into a fight with an older, wilier boxer - yet in Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright he faces a fighter who has some ambition left after years of waiting unwearyingly for his big shots. In fighting Wright, Taylor must surely hope to draw a line under those fights with Hopkins as well as legitimising his middleweight title – I say title and not titles because true to form the belts have become splintered at 160lbs, Taylor now holds the WBC and WBO versions of the belts.
