James “Lights Out” Toney cruising for bruising in L.A.
Just got back from the James Toney presser. Sat at the same table as David Avila. As you’d imagine with Toney, it turned into chaos when Dino Duva pressed the wrong button. He called James ******. Toney had to be restrained. Duva’s team shouted angrily (if a little hollowly), with Sam Peter looking perplexed, but were careful not to make a move toward Toney, who was barely contained by his entourage. It could have been right out of the presser playbook, but it didn’t look like James was playing.
Suddenly, danger was in the air. James threw a glass at the Duva team — Lots of scuffling. James’s team, with all the effort they could muster, dragged him away, cursing and yelling he was going to wait for them outside the Palm.
He did, fuming and pacing, shouting what he was going to do to all of them when they came out the door. He waited and waited. They never showed — must have found another exit.
You’ll all be proud to know, David Avila did TSS proud: He never lost his aplomb throughout.
