    you need to keep in mind two things...

    1. Don King is involved

    2. 100 bucks on a draw pays $2500 give or take

      It was a close fight. Rahman didn't kill Toney, Toney didn't kill Rahman. A rematch is needed...

          what i thought was funny as hell was that one judge voted 117-111... a huge difference and the others voted draws at 114

            I got the fight on TIVO. I'll watch it again right now. What minute of what round did he "rock" Toney?

              The fight was in the eye of the beholder. Very few rounds were definitive for either fighter...so then it becomes very eradic in scoring since there's no real right/wrong answer for many of the rounds.

                  Rahman should have blown away Toney but he didnt cause he sucks.I had Rahman winning a close fight, no way did Toney deserve the decision.

                    he never "rocked toney" but toney was out of shape and "lost" the fight becuse he couldnt hustle with the extra weight.

                    still whenever a small man fights a bigger man, look for the close rounds to go to the smaller man. the judges and the crowd will just always be more impressed that the smaller man can hang in there.
