I refer to it as Manny going into "trainer mode". He's an ATG trainer, and he does that sometimes when he gets caught up in a fight, and it's HILARIOUS hahaha. He did the same thing in Gatti-Ward round 9 when Ward hurt Gatti to the body, and Manny kept yelling at him to go to the body: "Yes, thats it-TO THE BODY! GO TO THE BODY!!!"

LMAO, I love that part. Steward completely freaked out during that round.

Jirov-vs-Toney is one of my favorite fights to watch. The 12th round was unbelievable. Also the staredowns after each round were hilarious.

i also like how lampley says, "HE SAYS COME ON...COME ON......COME ON LETS FIGHT!!!" lampley got really involved as well...and merchant was calm as usual...i wonder what kind of war it takes to excite merchant...

Classic fight. Too bad there was never a rematch. The scores Toney got were ****in insane.

James Toney UD12 Vassily Jirov - After Jirov threw 100 punches in the 11th, Toney comes to his corner and Freddie Roach tells him "you have to put this guy on his ass". The two men showed heart, will and determination in an all-out brawl that saw Toney's sharp counter punching beat out Jirov's aggressiveness on all judges scorecards. An AMAZING fight if you've never seen it, I suggest you search through Video Trading Block and FIND THAT ****!

yea i got that fight and its a classic..
Made me a fan of Toney after that one...

Ive got that fight on tape. I still cant believe what a great fight it was. I really thought Toney was far enough past it that Jirov would beat him. But Toney just had more and did the job in the end.
