Rahman vs Toney? Sat March 17

[docbungle]

Hard to call this one. I like Toney, but I don't think he'll be able to hang with Rahman for very long. I think Toney will start out a lot quicker than Rahman and be very hard to hit for the first half of the fight, and eventually will slow down a bit halfway through and then start to get tagged hard. Toney's never been knocked out, but he doesn't really throw hard punches, either.

Again, hard to call this one. I love these kinds of matchups. Plus they hate each other, and that's always nice.

So who won? Heard it was a draw. How does two judges saying draw and one saying Rock won equal a draw? I thought that would make it a win, but I guess not. The other question would be how do two see draw and one see.... I think it was 117 to 111. I don't quite get that.

[bond007]

it's called a majority decision draw. it's as if "draw" were the 3rd party candidate... and 2 out of 3 judges voted for him.

personally, I think it stinks. the voting should have been 1-0-2 in favor of Rahman. either that, or they should make it like K-1 and have an Overtime Round (my personal preference).

It was such a crappy fight I don't even care. Neither of them deserved the win.

You mean the heavyweight division is a joke, right? The lower weight classes have consistently good, solid, competitive fights.

I guess that depends on your definition of what a good fight is there, Doc.

As for the heavyweight division, yes, it's been one big farce since the prime days of Tyson and Holyfield.

Vargas/Mosley was slightly entertaining. The Taylor/Hopkins snorefests were just that, until Hopkins picked him apart like a 3 year old picking pepperoni off a pizza in the last 4 rounds. (Which BTW, Taylor won both.. Tells you how exciting those fights were).

Pacman/Morales III? - Oh yes.. September will be a good month.

Mayweather/Hatton - Please oh please.. I'm begging for this fight.

Cotto/Gatti - Supposedly after Baldomir get destroyed by Gatti in another wonderful Gatti VS (insert 2nd rate opponent here).. He's supposed to sign to fight Cotto for the belts. Which is rather intresting.. Because that would mean Cotto moves up. (Sad part is, this 2nd rate opponent beat a horrible Judah, and supposedly you can beat Baldomir with a wrecking ball from a crane, and he won't go down.. Could give Gatti a ton of trouble)

There is many others. Taylor/Winky should be another 50 dollar 160 pound snorefest.

There is lotsa good fights from 132-160 that should happen, lots of up and comers (If you haven't seen Julio, he's fuggin amazing). Oh yes, and who can forget about Hopkins/Tarver? I know I can.

Don't forget Coralles / Castillo 3. If Coralles fights a little smarter this time around it might be something like their first fight.

Boxing just gets worse and worse everytime I turn around. The fact that Rahman is a champion in the first place, without having won anything, is disgusting enough to the sport.

Things like this keep happening in boxing, which is why I turned to Pride FC. I'll start watching boxing again when the next Ward-Gatti type rivalry comes around, where two guys that actually care lay it all out and don't hold anything back. That is what truely makes boxing a great sport.
