It was close but Peter rightfully won.

[Kid Achilles]

Toney won the rounds he won in a big way, but Peter won just about all of those close rounds through being the aggressor and actually knocking Toney back when he did connect. Even his jab was forcing Toney backwards. There was only one instance in the fight where Toney landed a combo and it actually caused Peter to hesitate to take a forward step.

This is pro boxing, not the amateur racket. You don't win a round by landing a higher % of punches than your opponent, you win it by doing more noticeable damage to your opponent with those punches than he does to you with his. It's quality over quantity in the pro game. That's why knockdowns have so much sway (10-8) on the judges card. If you stagger a guy in the round, and in that same round he doesn't stagger you once, and aside from that the the guy hasn't completed shut you out, then you win the round.

Peter's frigging jab was forcing Toney back every time it landed. That is more effective than a counter uppercut that doesn't make the opponent even blink. I don't care how crafty, quick, and dangerous looking that uppercut is, the punches that actually force a guy back count much more heavily in scoring.

Now I don't agree with the margin some of the judges had Peter winning by, but he definitely won.

This was not a close fight, Toney clearly was robbed! You always talk **** about Toney, so I'm not surprised you think it was a close fight.

Toney out jabbed Peter, what fight were you watching??

[Rampage*]

peter got stomped

[Kid Achilles]

Toney out jabbed him with jabs that did little to halt his attack. Peter's jabs all, and I mean every one that landed, caused Toney to have to take a backward step or two.

By amateur rules, yes Toney won every single round cleanly. By pro rules, Peter won by a few rounds. There is a huge difference in the two.

I had it 114-113 Peter......

[7001]

I agree with Kid. I had the fight scored at 117 to 113 for Peter. I don't think that fighting the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds of a round allows you to win that round. Peter was agressive through most of the fight and had Toney hurt a couple of times. The ref should have been all over Toney for holding on to the ropes after Peter cleaned his clock in the 5th (maybe 6th) round.

But I did think Toney fought well. He just spent to much time on the ropes and wasn't aggressive enough. It was a good fight and entertaining.

Round Peter/Toney

10. 10/9
11. 10/10

Total 117 Peter and 113 Toney.

I guess the few of you that had Peter winning, please stop watching boxing for good! I'm dead serious!

You can't fight the last 10 seconds of the round and win the fight.
