Rahman/Toney Declared a DRAW

[Leo Pradun]

Rahman threw 300 more punches, that's right 300 more punches. is there any need for further explanation on why he should have won? bull**** decision, and i'm a Toney fan, but he got his ass kicked tonight, he's lucky he has a granite chin, probably the best chin of all time.

u dont need a chin if the other guy isnt throwing anything meaningfull....

what a bull **** decision.... corupt judges, promoters and boxers... I agree with the above post - Rahman easily won the match and its funny how he isnt even complaining.

Most of the media had Rahman by at least 2..... Events like this hurt the sport we all love

i, as many people have, rahman ahead on points.

there were a few rounds that were close, but overall i felt rahman deserved to get the decision.

and why the hell did rahman follow toney to the ropes as much as he did? he should have taken advantage of the natural size and power he had by punching toney across the ring from the middle. not following him to the ropes or fighting "phonebooth style" which toney is very comfortable and skilled with.

rahman didn't fight the smartest fight that he could've. however, i was slightly impressed by his overall workrate.

even though it is also obvious that rahman was part of the fix, he should never give fat ass toney a rematch........he won clearly and that's all that matters...just because those official corrupt judges scored it differently, it doesn't mean the division isn't a lot clearer now!...

fat ass toney is out !

[Leo Pradun]

these guys are in the past, the future is Wladimir Klitschko, Sam Peter, Calvin Brock, Lamon Brewster, Toney and Rahman are both trash...

Rahman seemed delighted that he didn't lose.

Not really. This is simple. Rahman is used to getting ****ed over. Did you see his face when they announced the first score to him by name? He knew right there that he got ****ed and had accepted it by the post-fight interview time. He's bankrupt and why not get another nice payday with a no-risk, light-punching, overweight contender named James Toney? That's why he didn't act outraged-- he'd like nothing better than to fight Toney again, rather than Brewster, Wlad, Valuev, ...even Maskaev.

I had it a draw. I'm glad Toney didn't take Rahman's belt because it was a lazy effort. On the other hand, unless you love pitter pat, I didn't see Rahman doing much in the way of effective aggresion.

[Leo Pradun]

Rahman has to fight Maskaev now, there is no way he can give Toney a rematch now, damn it this **** sux....

[HipsterRan]

I had Rahman winning by 2rds , Rahman is lucky he was in the ring with pillow fist Toney , with the shots he was hit with V,Klit would have KOed Rahman with in a few rounds !

Rahman won

Rock won the fight fairly easily. He got robbed just like the 2nd Tua fight. Its a damn shame really. He fought a very good fight for the most part. He didnt hit Toney with any clean hard shots, but who does? Honestly just about the only way you will beat Toney is out working him. Throwing punches consistenly even if they dont hit at a high percentage, just like the Jirov fight. Also Rock wasnt able to throw his right as much because he knew Toney was waiting with a counter right. That was his money shot for the most part. The weight looked to be a small problem with Toney eventhough he was still slick with his punches and did enough to win 4 rounds, however thats not enough to win the fight. I had it Rock 7-4 with one round even.
