Can recall fights in which you wanted neither guy to win due to the fact that you liked both boxers a lot? Are there any upcoming fights that you feel like this about?
I get this feeling about a pair of upcoming fights...the first being Quartey/Forrest...the second being Toney/Peter. Ike Quartey has been one of my favorite fighters of the past 10 years and I have a lot of respect for what he does in the ring. I pull for Quartey in every fight he's in. I will be pulling for him when he fights Forrest, but I will be somewhat unhappy about a W for him because Forrest is a good guy and a good fighter. Both of these guys deserve shots at the big time, they both should be applauded for fighting each other when they probably don't have to in order to get back to a title shot.
Toney is my favorite fighter today. I don't like the Peter matchup because Peter is a good kid with a bright career out ahead of him and I suspect Toney will beat him. If Toney does in fact beat him it'll bump Sam back down a couple of notches and will give him a tough road to another title shot (unless he gives a great account of himself in that loss). Should Peter beat Toney I would be unhappy for obvious reasons.
