Toney-Couture fight...going??

[catalinul]

Couture pretty much made it clear in a recent interview that he won't stand up so it's gonna be a sad day to see Toney submitted or whatever.

I'm not sure I'd go even if I had the opportunity to. The fight shouldn't really be taking place, and is an embarrassment to both MMA and boxing.

it's funny that the supposed mma tough guys are afraid to stand up with 40 year old clinically obese punch drunk ex middleweights

Yea, man, I would love to hear any beefs or critiquing...

Here is the thread I made. I said afterwards that I shouldve added guys like Sergio, Bradley, Alexander, and so on but Williams was fighting last week and he's the biggest guy that everyone is high on so I thought I would use him as the center piece. Looking back its probably good that they didnt watch because the fight ended up being a joke. I also do want to see Pac-Floyd more now as time has passed but I still dont think our media guys are selling the sport itself enough. I think we are perpetrating all the Pac-Floyd stuff like that is all we have.

I heard you talk about the Super 6 on there but there are still other good fights that Pac & Floyd can make that would be really exciting. I know you are going to probably say that you didnt mean it that way but thats how it comes off to the mainstream public sometimes, including alot of those guys at ESPN who act like they know stuff but are clearly just casual boxing fans. Here's what I wrote

Wrestlers/Ju Jitsu fighter don't stand with any strikers period. Thats the stratagy that everyone uses so why in the *** would anyone forget that stratagy just for james Tony.

Here's something for Boxing historians.

Dave Camarillo, Couture's current grappling coach, earned his certification of Catch Wrestling from Gene Lebell.

Way back in the 50's, Gene took on a boxer by the name of Milo Savage in a Judo vs. Boxing match.
