man! i haven't been this happy with a split-decision in a long time

james "lights-out" toney was talking about sending peter back to africa " on a banana boat" so that he can "feed his goats and monkeys" well that planet of the apes looking mug left the ring throwing a tempur tauntrum like a lil b!tch

The Nigerian nightmare sent Toney packing, What a great match. Peter is a definite boxer, not to reckon with.

Didn't seei t, unfortunately. But I DID read this:

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 – In a hard-fought 12-round heavyweight battle, 26-year-old Samuel Peter landed enough powerful clubbing haymakers to the back of 38-year-old James Toney’s head and to the veteran’s ample body to convince two of the official judges that youth rules the day.

Peter, who improved to 27-1 (22), won the entertaining fight by split decision with announced scores of 116-111 from judges Alejandro Rochin and Richard Flaherty. Judge Gale Van Hoy scored the bout 115-113 for Toney, which most of the near 10,000 fans that filled the Staples Center to watch the WBC heavyweight title eliminator seemed to agree with.

The Nigerian-born puncher did not do enough to convince the majority of the ringside press that he defeated the former three-division champ who began his career at middleweight 18 years ago, either.

I've also seen enough fights to know that the crowd usually isn't wrong, and neither are the ringside press. Awaiting the rematch.

it was a classic bout of boxer (toney) vs puncher (peter) and the puncher prevailed.

i can't wait to see what same peter does to oleg maskaev because with the defeat of toney, peter is the number one contender for the WBC heavyweight championship title.

Peter can punch. But he can also be outboxed, as Klitschko demonstrated once before. He also has conditioning issues at times.

Toney has fantastic skills and instincts. A great boxer. But Toney ain't a kid anymore, and he's not a very big heavyweight either.

yeah peter can be out-punched and out-worked but all he needs is to connect just once and you'll probably be seeing unicorns and sh!it

Like I said, he can punch. But he couldn't punch hard enough to put Toney down. He needs to work harder to put his punches together. Remember, it's the shot you don't see that hurts you.

he didn't throw that many heavy punches against toney because at 257 pounds he was a pound lighter than his all-time highest weight.........

That boy's so outta shape. He needs to fire the bum that manages him and get a REAL team that's gonna condition him to go the distance against the Russian Mafia that own the Heavy class right now. Otherwise he's gonna get exposed and dismantled.

Boxing?

Aye. Boxing.

Why?

It's the "Sweet Science".

It's barbaric and it should be outlawed. Watching two grown asz people beating the hell out of each other ain't science.

^Quite the entertainment thou.
