Compared to Greer, Lebedev is Vitali Klitschko.
There are many signs of disaster for Toney in this fight.
--the presence of "Bad News Buddy McGirt," the Angel of Death in Toney's corner. "Come on baby, do it like we did in the gym. In the gym!"
--the fact that Toney will have undergone drastic weight loss, from 257 to 200, IF he makes weight, which is no sure thing.
--the fact that Toney hasn't looked good in a fight since the first Sam Peter match, where he seemingly suffered brain damage. His speech patterns have never been the same since that fight.
--his financial desperation, seen in his blowout UFC loss to Randy Couture and his willingness to go to Russia (Toney is afraid of flying) to fight a top young cruiserweight. Also seen in his aborted attempt to fight Ken Shamrock.
--his shocking deterioration documented with a sick glee by Eli Seckbach's videos, where Toney is seen glassy-eyed, drooling and slurring through "interviews" where one needs subtitles to understand him.
