According to Toney's statement, it was due to a doctor's medication to heal his damaged muscle which makes abundant sense (i.e., a steroid). I don't think Toney did any drugs (from what I have read so far), and I think Ruiz should fight (someone) for the title rather than given to him.
Sergio will win because he's mean in the ring and Manfredo just sucks balls.
Manfredo will get an upset victory, if he returns back to the basics, nothing fancy. Sergio is good, but lacks punch-for-punch power IMO. His speed and agility are his major assets. Manfredo will turn the tide around Round 4 and KO in Round 7.
I am proud to be the World Boxing Association Heavyweight Champion. As the first Latino to ever win the world heavyweight title, it is an honor that I have fought for or defended nine times since August of 2000. details]
What a crock! If he thinks so highly of himself, he should've fought someone, anyone for the title, instead he's taking credit for the title "given" to him by default. :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:
