Freddie Roach: "UFC booked Couture-Toney to make boxing look bad"

[Mr. Fantastic]

Who wanted this??? People want to claim Toney as the victim but yet it was his mouth that got him made it happen.

Toney has a chance. I have been watching some UFC lately and while James will be in trouble if his takedown defence isn't adequate, the punches in the UFC are utter **** as far as technique, speed, accuracy and even power go. A boxer of Toney's calibre will do some serious damage to those guys if any try to trade with him. Or if he is able to catch them leaving themselves open (which they do ALOT)

I'm not a hater, I'm just saying what I see. I see SO many wide openings on those MMA guys in several aspects of their game, the way they set before a kick, when they strike, lunge in for a takedown, anyone who knows **** about fighting can see this surely. Also many of these guys are very slow and ponderous on their feet. A good boxer has plenty of opportunities to move in, land flush and get out.

You are the boxing fan they are aiming for, do not take this fight serious, dont buy into the hype. If Tony wins, great and its a huge blow to MMA. But MMA fans say MMA is so great and is true fighting so take them on their word, Tony is suppose to have a 1% of winning. So Couture winning means what exactly? Nothing, and it does not make boxing look bad. The only ones that can come out looking bad in this is MMA if Tony shows any kind of fight in the match.
