Whether you think he beat James Toney or got a gift, it is absurd for the reprehensible WBC to order an immediate rematch simply because it was a close fight. No rules were broken. There was no injury. There were no wacky circumstances. Just two judges who saw it for Peter and one for Toney. The WBC should be ashamed of itself, but that is impossible because it has no shame. The miscarriage of justice here is that Peter has been wrongfully denied a title shot he earned by beating Toney in an official eliminator.

I can't agree more, this is the most ridiculous thing ever. Toney gets the most title shots than Any current HW. He fought for 2 major titles in his last four fights. He fought Ruiz for the WBA and Rahman for the WBC. He gets an eliminator fight with Sam Peter and loses now he gets another shot to be the #1 contender for a major HW title. Does anyone else thinks this is a disgrace to boxing? It seems like they want to force Toney to be a champ.
