I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, two men should be allowed to scrap it out if they accept the risks. On the other, I have guess they are both strapped for cash and desperately needed the money. Toney actually had to be helped down the stairs during his ring walk.

Like I said, try not to look. The sad metal and physical shape these men are in.

I saw them in the weigh in, they each looked like 260 pounds of chewed bubble gum. Toney had a flash of his old self in the 5th when he shoulder-rolled and ducked a punch and Ruddock almost fell on his face when he missed. I didn't see any other part of the fight. I guess it ended in a draw as most exhibitions and no one got hurt.

A fat man with a pack of hot-dogs on his neck that had to be help into the ring and a stumbling 50 something opponent. For shame.

Wasnt it was an exhibition? If so, what's the problem?

Funny part is Toney would still be competitive if he was 190 lbs

If you like fat, old out of shape men who should not be boxing for their health, well then there is no problem at all. I refuse to watch and the interviews may be worse the footage. You pretty much beed subtitles for Toney at the end of his career.

Not sure what that has to do with the fact people are b!tching over an EXHIBITION. Took place in Jamaica and those people paid to watch it.

Even exhibitions which are supposed to be for the fans must have standards and the safety of the fighters in mind. This was sad.

Toney for his part had the edge on the tale of the tape for the belly ,and the neck as his pack of hotdogs were showing. It's a good thing this Jamaican exhibition did not have a drug test or a physical to be fit to box.
