Anyone catch that James Toney/Vasily Jirov war?

[the nature boy]

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.

i didn't even know toney was still fighting.

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.
