WelshDevilRob Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 James Toney Decisions Damon Reed Over Ten Rounds By Mark Vester At the San Manuel Indian Casino in San Bernardino, California, former three division champion James Toney (73-6, 44KOs) made his return to boxing with a one-sided ten round decision over Damon Reed (45-15, 32KOs). All three judges scored it 100-90. According to ringside observers, the fight was boring and Toney, who weighed 257-pounds at the weigh-in, was very out of shape and worked at a very slow pace. He was barely putting punches together and did his best work to the body. There were also two minor upsets on the card. Enrique Lobatos (2-2-1) stopped the professional debut of Granson Clark in the second round (0-1) with a left hook to the body that sent Clark down for the full count. Alfredo Rivera (1-7) picked up his first win as a pro. He stopped the unbeaten run of junior welterweight Angel Estrada (5-1, 2 KOs). Rivera took a four round majority decision with scores of 39-37, 39-37 and 38-38. Source: www.boxingscene.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobie_bro Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh dear. Luckily, I live on Earth Two, where James Toney retired after losing to Samuel Peter the first time (as did Holyfield after he lost the Lewis rematch), therefore their legacies aren't tarnished at all & I can sleep at night. I sometimes pity the inhabitants of Earth One, when I receive reports from your bizarro dimension where old fat blokes can't seem to let it go. BTW, stupid Marvel-comic jokes aside, is that the same Damon Reed who once got done by Herbie Hide? {goes to have a look} Bloody Hell. It is!

Johnny Walker Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 James began his career at 157. 257 was bound to happen I suppose. I'm wondering if we'll ever see him get into the ring at 275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
