tony vs couture

[cameronpaul]

just wondering what peoples ideas were about this fight.

my prediction is james toney win - first round, probably straight right hand. orthough i do think he could choke him out. toney is one for making the other guy look like a fool, and no better way to do it than to submit a wrestling specialist.

[NECK SNAPPER]

Toney is a world class fighter couture is trained what ever fighter.
Is just not the same look what happened to silvia.
Fighting is fighting toney is just going to crush him unless its fixed.no world class boxer would lose to any of those guy's.
There high school wreslers with no were to go.

James is a good boxer but with his extremely limited mobility he would be taken to the ground and harpooned...............Rockin'

What excuse if Couture wins? "Oh if it was boxing he would of won?"

Altough I haven't seen Couture fight I have to make him a favorite.

Toney is not trained for this,he ain't training hard,he has a boxing trainerand his style as a whole won't work in MMA.

Couture should easily handle him if he's the lengend they say he is.

NCAA Champ. Olympic Alternate. Army Brat.

What a bum, eh?

[Earl-Hickey]

If Toney wins, then really that just makes a farce out of the UFC, Knowing how much White hates boxing i doubt he'd put toney in with someone he can beat

Couture has had a glass chin recently. Getting dropped by fighters who are not known for their power or their hands. Also, he is like 47 years old. Couture doesn't exactly have the ability to shoot-in 10 meters, not that that has been in any of his gameplans anyway. Couture doesn't shoot, he clinches you against the fence to take you down. In order for that to happen, he's going to be in line for some punches. Also, rumor has it that Toney wrestled in highschool, so he might have a little experience. It might also explain how he choked out King Mo in sparring the other week, confirmed by Mo himself.

my thoughts exactly, Randy is getting too old for this ****. In his last few fights he has been fine technically ( like chuck ) but (like chuck ) his punch resistance has clearly diminished. It happens ..

If Toney can land, he will get the stoppage. guaranteed.

If Randy can smother toney so that he cant load up his shots then he will probably win a decision, with a strong posibility of a submission stoppage.

I'll be tuning in anyway

Couture is a legend, but he's a 47 year old legend, whose last couple fights have been at 205, so I would expect him to have a weight disadvantage.

Who wins depends on whether this thing makes it to the ground or not.
