I'm really gunning for james but if he doesnt catch Randy its gonna be tough. Hopefully he can pull off the upset.

[NECK SNAPPER]

its not toney using just his boxing skills.hearing boxers call say what they did
makes me think there just athletes not fighters.james toney is way past his prime anyway so this fight proves nothing its a freak show probaly fixed as well.
but i see toney just being to skillied in FIGHTING to lose.

yeah it would be nice if james were practicing mma for like 3 years and was 10 years younger then i would give him a better chance even though he ones of one all time favorite boxer i do give him a good chance if they get close in range for james toney to get some good shots in then he has his shot becuase randy couture will look to smother james toney and his upper body from being able to break free and throw punches but anything is possible come on james turn his lights out!!!

Toney's getting embarrassed in this fight.

[The Ninth Layer]

This won't settle the boxing vs MMA debate at all because both guys will have the same excuse for losing: "he's old and past his prime." It'll be an interesting fight but I agree with most of the experts: Couture will take Toney to the ground for three rounds and that will be the end of it.

WAR TONEY! Hope he Hattons Couture.

I just can't picture Toney being on the ground getting pounded *no *****

The first minute will be interesting, I want to see what strategy James Toney has in mind to stop the obvious take down

[The Dreamer]

Is the Toney fight gonna be the main event? I wanna see what happens, but I'd like to avoid having to watch any other matches as much as possible.

toney's gonna get his ass whupped.
