Do any of you guys have the video of this? I just read an article that said this was an all out war. Heard it was kind of one sided for Toney, but Green was getting his licks in too.
common guys , i saw the full gym war 3 times and how in hell can someone says green did something effective against toney ?
of course he is faster and landed more , he is 50 pounds lighter!
but toney destroyedhim for god sake , look at his broken nose , his two sides red and blue , the way he barely survives last round!
did green broke toney s nose ? did green wooble toney ?
NO. ALL ROUNDS ARE HELL for green , if you ever sparred or fought it s obvious .toney counters , that s is style so he doenst seems on the offense , but green proved he is really really tough to survive an HW beating for 7 rounds.
BTW, i cant stand TONEY .
It doesn't stop you from getting hurt, but if your opponent doesn't have the power to hurt you in the first place...You know what I mean, Danny wasn't going to hurt Toney without gear, much less with it so why not talk shit if you can't get your sparring partner out of there...
i was noway implying this guy had anything on toney.
i just think he had a little more starch in him than toney thought

watched the Green fight the other night. he got knocked down in the 2nd but it was more of a flash and he came back to win by TKO in the 5th i tink. prob one of the most boring fights i eva seen. there is a great match to be made in the super middle weight with the 2 aussies Green vs Mundine. after watching Mundine whoop ass last night i would def go wit him. he looks alot stronger after coming back from training in the US and he still has his lightning speed. However, i dont think Mundine wants this fight whereas Green does. ah well, wel have to see what happens but this one is up the top of my current dream fights.
injured or not this is what i saw,
Keep in mind i dont like toney like a lot of people here do.
I saw the video because i had heard like panzer is saying that Danny Green had kicked his ass but that wasnt even close to the case. Danny Green is on tough SOB thats for sure. Danny starts good moving and throwing, but then he decideds to lean on toney, had it been an official fight, Green would have been out-pointing Toney up till nearly the end. But you can see Toney seeing that Green is getting tired and he is letting him lean on him etc and pushes him back. Green starts breathing heavier and heavier every round, and bigger punches start raining in. Green's face goes from pink to red. Anyway Green is out landing Toney it seems but Toney is picking his spots and letting Green get tired, in the last round Green looks ready to go and almost does by vicious shots from toney. Had Roach not called Toney off green im sure Round 8 woulda been the end for Green.
I only watched one round, it looked like the last round from the way they were fighting, and Toney looked way too exhausted to be toying with anyone. To his credit, he slipped some of Green's punches, and landed some of his own, but I'm not impressed at all. It seemed like he couldn't do anything with Green, and knew that with the headgear on, there was no way in hell Green was going to hurt him, so he tried to make green look bad by talking shit. If Toney was trying to make a mockery of Green, shouldn't he do it with his fists? He is still a boxer, right? He should have been able to beat that guy to the canvas even with the gear on, the guy was right in front of him for chrissakes!
yo! that head gear don't stop you from getting hurt.
i'll stop you from getting cut.
thats about it.
most of the time head gear never fits right and slides around on your head, blocks your vision and if your new to the sport gives you a false sence of confidence(i've got headgear on so this shot won't hurt *uhhu* yes it does.).

I remember seeing him be rude to Larry Merchant, too. Then the fiasco after the last fight.
Like I said, it seems like roid rage. The tendon injuries lately seem to support that theory, too.
I remember when I used to enjoy his shit talking, but back then it seemed like he was just having fun with it. Now he just seems pissed off.
I'm sorry for pointing out your gigantomanical stupidity repetedly..
aaaarrgh!!
this sparring was a part of toneys preparation for his latest boxing mach..!
now you must take the retard clown card of "he was injured" and save it for next time toney the pcp fairy makes a mock of himself and his part of the industry, in front of the whole sivilised world..
just wait and enjoy..
one would think that someone that throws around the label "retard" would work on their reading comprehension skills, not to mention their spelling.
I thought it was clearly stated that I had not heard about this, therefore it would logically follow that I would not have a time frame for it. Simple, see?
As fo my opinion of Toney, I absolutely love to see him fight, but I don't think he will ever be a legitimate heavyweight champion. If by some fluke he does manage to get a belt, he won't hold onto it for very long.
He is a good thing for the heavyweight division, though. Regadless of whether or not he wins a belt, he does add some excitement.
On the downside, he has seemed somewhat more beligerant following his last few fights. Was it the Jirov fight where he threw down the mic and was rude to Larry Merchant?
I don't think it really helps him in the long run to act this way, like he's on a roid rage.
knee injury? you mean his achilles injury?
I wonder why I never heard about this until now? I need to come here more often;)
achilles, knee...whatever
but yeah Green's people ran to the media and talked about Green was kicking Toney's ass all over the ring and what not. Then the video of the session was put up on the net.
and James was pretty much toying with him.
here is the 5th roundhttp://www.fightworld.us/
What people need to remember, too, is that Toney is still recovering from surgery to reconnect the tendons between the bicep and the the elbow in his left arm.
Fighting anyone at this stage in his recovery was a stupid move and may cause a delay in his return to the ring.
I would be interested in seeing the vids, though, so I could make my own judgement about who "won".
Also, if any middleweight couldn't outmove any heavyweight, they really don't belong in boxing, do they?
This happend when Toney was recovering from his knee injury. Trust me when I tell you Toney wasn't even trying in this session.
he spends half of it laughing and talking shit to the camera and still made Green's face a bloody mess

I just finished watching the 5th round, and man Green gave him a hell of a run, and was landing cleanly.
Toney can talk all the shit he wants, but i'm sure he would have felt a couple of those shots that green hit him with.
This wasn't a shit talking contest!!! Green got the better of Toney plain and simple!!! Toney was snorting like a bull and talking BULLSHIT!!! How can you say Toney controlled Green all while his back was on the ropes and he was gasping for air!!! Don't get me wrong! I'm not saying Green could beat him in a real fight without head gear, but green clearly got the better of this sparring session!!!
Also: When you click on the rounds it will ask you to open them or to save them to your computer. You must pick save and you have to rename the file!!! It will say like round1 and you have rename it as round1.mpg and save it and that should work!!!
I've seen all of greens fights and yes he is a tough little fucker, who never gives up, but he got beaten soundly in spearring by a much larger toney, but it shows he can whoop some ass in the supermiddleweight division.
But is usual for someone to spar with someone who is more than 50 pounds lighter than they are.
I'm sure it happens every now and then. Remember Green called Toney out not the other way around.
Danny Green called him out for two days straight. It is not unusual for fighters too spar with someone who is not in their weight class.

Shouldn't he be sparring with another heavyweight?
