Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below What a fight!Toney decked him in the twelfth with a furious assault.It was toe to toe all the way through ala Ward-Gatti(although not quite as ferocious).
Anyone catch that James Toney/Vasily Jirov war?

That Russian or actually Kasakstan(sp?) got his ass handed to him. This fight just shows why Roy Jones went up in weight though. These two cruiserweights nor the other light heavyweight fighters in the previous fight had nowhere near the talent of Roy. My friend is good friends with Talver who fought the previous fight though which is pretty cool but he would have no chance in hell with Roy. There are a lot of good fights coming up. De La Hoya vs Campas and The other fighter which I can't remember are fighting. Then WARD VS GATTI III June 7th. Then Tyson vs ? and Lewis vs ? in July. THEN De La Hoya vs Mosley in the fall. It's gonna be a good year for boxing
PS. Did you hear that Emmanuel(sp?) Lewis say that Roy will fight Holyfield and is expecting Roy to fight Lewis in a year???
Yep,Roy is hands down the most gifted fighter out there today,hands down.He is literally inhuman,reflex/speed-wise.

He's not only fighting,but looking damn near the best he's been.A defensive master,and a very sharp counterpuncher.He is back on top of his game.

whoa. what a great fight. two warriors going at it. The fight was closer than the judges scored though.
Yep it could have been fought in a phone booth.Toe to toe from start to finish.Hopefully they'll do it again.

NEITHER DID I ACTUALLY.....TONEY WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FIGHTERS LIKE 7 YEARS AGO. IN ONE OF HIS FIGHTS, HE AND HIS OPPONENT WERE FIGHTING AFTER THE BELL. HIS OPPONENTS CORNER GUYS JUMPED IN AND TONEY CLOCKED ONE. LOVED HIM EVER SINCE.

I don't think I can seriously compare it to Gotti vs. Ward I, but best cruiserweight fight I've seen in a while. Truthfully its a sad, sad division.
Also I think Tony is crazy for calling out Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones Jr., and Hopkins.

Forgot to say that I think Toney's career is sad hehe.
He had the skills to be quite a fighter. I think he needs headwork more then physical work.
