Everyone realizes Toney is getting stopped right?

Can someone send me a banana? Points, karma, gifts will be given...

This fight is the equivalent of a guy bringing a knife to a gun fight. In theory, with a little luck the fellow wielding the knife will be fortunate enough to stab his opponent. However... 19 out of 20 times, the dude with the gun wins. Tim Sylvia's loss will only serve to warn mma fighters about striking. IMHO Boxing is the far better sport, but for the casual sports fan indifferent to the fight game.. This fight may serve to persuade him/her MMA is better. Personally, I'm not too concerned with the general public's perception, b/c true boxing fans know the deal. It seems a lot of boxing fans' love for boxing has somewhat blinded their expectations. Hopefully Toney doesn't end up on every UFC highlight reel ever as a result of tonight.. Boxing deserves better than that.

If Toney gets stopped it wont be the first time Couture has stopped someone, so no shame in it at all.


I for one am rooting for Toney.

He does have a chance, because every fight starts standing up.

Great post. Rep given.

And yes, I realize Toney will get stopped in the 1st round.

If Toney's fight is anything like this firstone, Toney wins by KO

[sicko]

if Randy goes for the take down and miss then he will be in trouble, that is the only chance Toney has is if he can some how block the Take Down or if he can step back or get out of the way of the take down then catch Randy then he has a great chance of winning

if Randy just comes out and takes him down with no problem then all Randy is going to do is lay on top of him like most UFC guys who cant fight standing up do and Ground & Pound him

I think Toney is going to pull out some moves nobody is expecting, it would be funny if Toney takes him down and Wrestle him, NOBODY would be expecting that lol

Nah, that wouldn't be funny at all. That would be like Toney saying.."Hey man, I can't beat you using my boxing skills so I have to use wrestling instead".

[starjammer]

The anticipation is too much to handle. The possibilities are mindblowing.

I need to go to the toilet.

[Syf]

lol...Toney has a chance... MMA doesn't know how to handle true strikers... Prime Toney would clean any of them pound for pound. What is de****able is they are taking a SHOT Toney, and then using what results from this as a barometer of Boxing vs MMA. Why not take a legendary prime boxer and pit him against your glorified backyard brawlers? Swine.

Mmm yes brother that is causing me many sleepless nights. I have to keep educating my UFC friends, who don't know boxing, that Toney is actually not the HW Champ of the World, and that he's not good enough to hang in our sport's division.
