    The fight was fought at a slow pace, a pace that Toney set up, but Peters was still their exchanging punchs. This was a close fight. Both fighters are warriors but somone has to lose. I hate to hear somone say they are sick of this sport based on a decision, as if they've never seen close fights before.
    When the whole Staples Center boo's Peter, it proves your point wrong.

      I've been a fan since 1996 and a consistent fan since the Holyfield-Lewis fights in 1999 so I'm not a newbie and I've seen injustice and cried about it to anybody who would listen but with the advancements in the internet, more people can hear our complaints.

Boxing's not a sport where you can go into "overtime" or a sport where they make the scoring public, so people get disappointed and upset when the final result goes against what they thought they saw during the event...

          Exactlly!

          I would love to see 15 rounds again, few fighters would be able to last 15 tough rounds. If not at least enforce 15 rounds in a rematch, this should be the standerd!

            I just think the title doesn't fight this fight.

              Thats too much, it was a close fight. I was rooting for Toney felt he won. But Peters made it a close fight in every round. Especially the early rounds and the later rounds he stold some round in the last minute. I gave Peters the last round, though Toney tried to steal it at the end. But he just was too relaxed in the last round and didnt throw enough punchs to give him the round. Over all the fight was close. I think if Toney would have won the last round their would have been a bigger case for him winning the fight. But i wouldn't go as far as calling it corrupt or fixed.

              it looked closed to some cuz peter would try to steal round by throwing bunch of punches but none of them were landing. I know cuz i was there live.... not front row but close

                    This is why i don't get PPVs anymore. Imagine sitting through a good fight like this after shelling out $50 and then having to bend over as the sport sticks a metal rake up your ass with a decision like this.
