WBC orders an Immediate Toney Peter rematch?

[restless_438]

i'd be happy to watch a rematch.. to complainers, what else can be made right now in the heavyweight division that's available currently????

already in motion:

Klitschko? Wladimir Klitschko-Calvin Brock
Lyakhovich? Serguei Lyakhovich-Shannon Briggs
Valuev? Nikolay Valuev-Monte Barrett
Maskaev? now planning on fighting Peter Okhello in December

this is the BEST option to go to the rematch in the near-future

this is a very good decision, I would like seeing this fight again, I think Peter wins by ko this time...

This is bull****. I don't see why they just don't move along in the heavyweight decision. A mandatory fight at the end of the day is a mandatory fight. Winner moves on, I don't get why there is a rematch. If Peter can't fight Maskaev that doesn't mean he needs to fight Toney.

This is such bull****.

I had Toney winning; but come on! I hate political b.s. like this....I really do.

....Your absolutely right. I have a funny feeling that this fight won't come off by the way.

did you shut off your tv right before Lennon Jr. announced the scores or something? maybe just didn't even watch and read the results on the net..

The only people i can see honestly not liking this news are Sam Peter fans..

or people who don't want to see Mêlée at The Buffet II.

that's kind of irrelevant with this rematch.. the reason they're doing it was the obvious bad call by the judges. And some of you people are acting like these two were hugging and holding the entire fight, when in truth, it was a pretty decent match.

[vB Martin]

I thought it was a good match in spurts, and if the rematch comes off without being a PPV I will likely tune in.

I had Peter winning because he was overall more effective and busy, but I had it closer than the judges, too. I just think the WBC is overstepping and doing this for another sanctioning fee on what they hope is a bigger purse fight. It has nothing to do with the judges.

[chaawuu]

this news just made my day. hopefully they pick judges that actually know boxing this time around.

Thanks. It just doesn't make any sense to me, really. There have been worse decisions and it's not like Toney's not going to get another title shot.....there are four titlists out there for crying out loud.

Incidentally, I know it won't happen; but after each of these guys make there next defense, they really ought to be focusing on putting Humpty Dumpty (The Title) back together again, IMHO.
