Its not that James Toney lost to an MMA fighter..

[Dirk Diggler UK]

How would you expect Couture to outstrike a Boxer like Toney?


Don't you agree it would be dumb for him not to take the fight to the ground where hes going to maul Toney?

Yeah just like im sure its smart to be giving rather than receiving in the UFC showers afterwards. Like i said, play to your strengths.

For u mma haters, in case u didnt know, elite military soldiers from all over the world are trained in the aspects of mma. There's more to a fight than just punching. Knees, elbows, clinches, and submissions are all vital tools to take out your opponent.

I love boxing and its my sport of choice, but let's not be ignorant now. Truth be told, I'd rather be in a street fight with George St. Pierre by my side rather than an elite boxer.

[SNVDoublePunch!]

its that the old fella made it look so easy. I mean, take down, punch, choke, tap.

Awesome. James Toney has never been stopped in a fight his whole professional career until now.


Truly amazing.

No, you dink. It's not even slightly amazing.

Dana White knew what he was doing. He put Toney in there with a Wrestler and he told Couture to take him down and finish him. He wanted this win(Dana).

Why didn't Dana put him in with a striker/stand up guy and let Toney have more MMA training camps before taking on a world class wrestler?

Dana won't admit it but it was all a part of his plan to embarrass Boxing.

Wtf are you babbling about? Hey genius, Dana didn't make anyone do ****. It wasn't Dana who went out seeking a boxer to put in with Randy. In fact, Toney went around the country stalking and following Dana around at all kinds of ufc and mma events. He was talking **** about how he ufc guys are ******* and ne could take them out. Even Dana admitted that initially he ignored Toney but kept getting more and more agitated that everywhere he went James was there talking ****. James even showed up to Dana's house for ****s sake. So for all of you putos who keep *****ing that Dana picked the most vulnerable boxer there is read up on the factas before spewing your misinformed bull****!!!

Toney brought this on to himself.

He trolled Dana White and the UFC for months before actually getting Dana's attention, now look what happend to him.... got caught in an Arm-Triangle choke that stopped the blood running to his brain lol.

[Dan...]

Why are people giving any attention to these MMA fools? They come in here with their irrelevant threads looking for a reaction and we give it to them? Just tell them to **** off and be done with it.

[Pullcounter]

but Toney said MMA was a joke and his boxing skills alone should be able to carry him through the fight.

I don't believe half the **** coming out of toney's mouth.

so you agree that MMA is tough.

I agree mma is for dudes who like to roll around on the ground teabagging each other.

so you agree that boxing is an aspect of MMA.

mma stand up is like a tough man competition. they'd get smoked in boxing.

come on son. I love boxing, but i know it's not all you need against someone who knows several disciplines

1) you don't love boxing.
2) couture didn't use several disciplines against toney. all he did was take toney down and dry humped him.

If you were Couture, wouldn't you have done the same thing?

It is what it is.

couture did what he had to do, but what he did didn't prove anything.

LOL. so i guess boxers use **** tactics too since they like to clinch and tie up. Or is that just being smart in the ring lol

no one on these boards like it when boxers clinch or tie up.

[keepthemhandsup]

come on

you can come up wit some betta trollin then that

[Deevel916]

It all boils down to this.

MMA is the art of fighting. Boxing is the art of punching.

I'll tell u one thing. Mma/ufc fans are some happy ass fans. They get 10-12 ppv main events a year, with fights that they actually want to see unlike in boxing.

Who the hell asked for Pac/Margarito? Is this the best the powers that be can do? Money is killing boxing. U boxing snobs can bring up the purse difference all u want. truth is, mma fans get more **** for their buck than boxing fans do.
