Looking Back; Jirov-Toney, What A Fight

[gmc_rfc_06]

Hell of a classic. And I think I remember Manny Steward trying to downplay Tony and giving Jirov ups the whole time. What was the beef there?

It was Lederman giving Jirov way too much credit. He somehow found ways to score certain rounds for Jirov, even though Toney was cracking him with beautiful power shots throughout.

Lampley was also getting caught up with Jirov's activity at times, but for the most part the commentary helped withh the fight....except Lederman, of course.

hard men in a hard fight. this saved toneys career imo

It was an awesome fight. Jirov was tough as hell and gave as good as he got while Toney was just freaking masterful.

[Dr Rumack]

Yeah a fantastic fight. Toney was just incredible.

Bad ass fight. James Toney is a genius inside the ropes. Only low point of the night was Lederman's scoring.

that fight is a brilliant example of boxing...

one of great skill display by toney and great heart an will by jirov.

noone has inside skills like him. His defense is impregnable and his accuracy is laser sharp.


The 12th round KD was great
