It was close but Peter rightfully won.

[Kid Achilles]

Toney was getting hit as well, and rocked more than Peter was though. In the rounds where both men landed a similar amount of punches, you have to give the guy who landed the heavier, stronger punches the point.

I mean every time Peter landed his jab it shook Toney's upper body and caused him to take a step or two back. That knd of jabbing racks up points more than a fast, accurate jab that does not press the other guy back.

criteria for scoring : ring generalship, defense, clean punching, and effective aggression. toney won 3 out of the 4 and they were about even with the "effective" aggression. toney was robbed!!!

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

thats what I scored it as well. blows me away how some people think toney won by several rounds. of course most of them are toney nuthuggers so it shouldnt be a shock. I knew it would come down to toney's skills vs peters' strength and power and it was pefeter's strength and power that overcame toney's skills. close fight but peter eked it out

All of press row had Toney winning, and so did Al Bernstein.

agree completely to you Kid Achilles. There is no way Toney won on that fight.

The thing i find funnier than anything, is that to try and justify this gift decision for Peter, you talk about the jab, when in fact it was Toney's jab that look EASILY more crisp and effective, he had Peter's head snapping back ALL NIGHT... some of you people need to open your eyes

[Kball15]

wat r u talkin about. toney was jabbing and doubleing up on his jab. He was fighting beautifully off the ropes. Peter hardly landed any shots. Toney was bobbing and weaving underneath them, and picking them off with his shoulders and arms.

Peter would constantly hold toneys head down and then pound it, and thats how toney was hurt. thats illegal and ref instead scoulded toney for putting his arm on the rope.

Peter did nothing to win more then 5 rounds. There is no way in hell Peter won this fight. Especially with a 10-8 round for toney

[Kball15]

agree completely to you Kid Achilles. There is no way Toney won on that fight.

i doubt u know how to score a fight. thats a joke. no way toney won the fight? is that why all the press row scoring had toney winning the fight? is that one of the professional judges that DON KING forgot to pay off had toney winning? is that steve albert had james toney winning?

give me a break. there is no way peter won that fight, and if u knew how to score a fight then u would be agreeing with me instantly

[maxorido]

bull****. watch the replay and get that bias out of your heart, toney won that fight. the press row and al bernstein had him winning as well, utter bull****.

[loui_ludwig]

I had Toney winning the fight. 7 rounds for James and 5 rounds for Samueal "I will punch in the back of the head for the KO" Peters.

In the last couple of rounds, Toney was landing more cleaner shots in the majority of those rounds while Peters had only spurts.
