Toney UD... not convinced after March, but we'll go with it. Peter's an awful technical boxer.

September 2nd the James Toney heavyweight express will come to a screeching halt as he meets his Waterloo in the form of the “Nigerian Nightmare”, Samuel Peter. While it is true that James is, by far, the most skilled and defensively adept man north of 200 Lbs, it’s also true that he’s traveled too far north of 200 Lbs in his last three fights. While the excess poundage didn’t hurt him against John Ruiz or Dominick Guinn, surely it cost him the WBC championship against Rahman; and should he come into the ring in similar shape against the 25 year old Peter, it’s going to cost him the distinction of never having been stopped in his professional career.

To be honest, I’m not even sure the weight is going to be an issue for the 38 year old former Middleweight. I’m sure he thinks he’ll slip and slide, juke and jive, and counter the ponderous Nigerian to death over the course of this fight; but I fail to see how being a stationary, if not elusive, target for the big punching Peter can be a healthy game plan for a man who can not hurt him. At last report, James weighed close to 230; and two-thirty or anywhere near it is too-much for James because he will not be able to use the same tactic against Peter that has worked so well against lighter punching opposition. Peter does not care where he hits Toney; whether its arms, ribs, head, gloves, or elbows, it doesn’t matter so long as he makes contact. And, for one, I can’t see how James can last twelve rounds with this young, hungry, powerful 25 year old who would love nothing more that to turn him into a 230 Lb greasy spot on the canvas.

Toney could turn in another counter-punching masterpiece on September 2nd ; but I don’t think so. I think this is one too many trips to the well. Toney’s journey through the land of Odd ends Saturday night, for skill without conditioning will only get you so far. If Toney comes in close to 220, then a decision is not out of the question, provided he still knows how to move; but if he employs the same game plan against Peter he’s been using since invading the heavyweight division, it will be lights out for “Lights-Out”.


Peter by 8th Round TKO.

Id be fine with either guy winning.My pick is Peter,but Id love to see James get a wide UD.

From pics i have seen on other sites,toney looks good-so he may have a great chance. I hate this fight cuz i like both very much and dont wanna see any of them take a step back,and it will probably be a huge one with boxing polotics.

With that said i see peter throwing everything he has at toney and connecting at times but not as good or as flush as he wants. Toney will roll punches and connect shots---i think it will e up to the judges to decide if the aggresor or more (but softer) counter pucnhing wins this fight. In the end i see toney winning a UD but not in a blowout.

Toney has never been KO'd ! lets get realistic.

I dont care how hard Peter hits , Toney's chin is like a brick wall.
