my thoughts on the ruiz-toney WBA HW fight

[Bozo_no no]

Actually King only has 2 heavyweight titles now because Toney is promoted by Goosen!

No, King now co promotes Toney along with Goosen.

Making Byrd vs Toney a logical fight for the summer.

If that is true than I say that Byrd loses to Toney. Otherwise I go with James...............Rockin'

ok i was wrong i admit it, i honestly thought ruiz would win... toney gets my props for a pretty good fight and beating a solid heavy.

btw that knockdown shouldnt have been scored and imo ruiz won that round if it wasnt for the knockdown. so if you make round 7 a 10-9 round for ruiz the scoring is very different.if my math is correct the fight would have been scored 114-114 a draw on 2 of the three cards. but nevermind no excuses...toney won

Yep, Don FINALLY has a piece of Toney after all these years!
It certainly took him long enough, but one thing you've got to give the old man, when it comes to him, a fighter can "never say NEVER".
Remember back during his run at middleweight & super-middleweight in the early to mid 90's how many times Toney would end his post fight interviews with "**** DON KING!"? LOL.
King had both Gerald McClellan & Nigel Benn back then & match ups with those two could never be made because Toney was tied up with Arum. And the inability of those two to work together always seemed to piss Toney off.
Amazing how, no matter how long it takes though, King always manages to get his man.

Not that Toney should be unhappy with the deal. It's quite obviously a mutually beneficial business decision for both men. In this game, you can never afford to burn your bridges because yesterday's enemy is today's best friend.
