FIGHT NIGHT 3-18

karasz411 · March 17th, 2006, 01:22 PM

HECK YES....

James Toney vs Hashim 'the ROCK' Rahman

FROM HBO.COM

TONEY STRENGTHS: Has exceptional skills...at his best, he stays in close range, frustrates his opponents with effective upper-body and head movement, and wears them down with sharp, accurate two-handed combinations to the head and body...has good punching power...an exceptional counterpuncher...physically strong and durable, has a solid chin...is very smart in the ring...is experienced against top opposition...

Rahman is the current HEAVYWEIGHT Champion, BUT is an underdog

at sportsbetting.com

Toney -170
Rahman +140

at betonsports.com

Toney -200
Rahman +150

and im betting on TONEY to win this fight to the tune of 85 dollars at sportsbetting.com (i can win 50)

I'm pretty pumped about this too. I've been looking forward to this fight for some time now. I won't be betting on it because I am much too poor at the current moment, but i will be watching for sure.

Toney should whoop on Rahman. Toney doesn't have near enough power to knock him out, so i see an easy UD in this one. The only question is if Rahman can land that huge right. You know, the one that made Lennox Lewis think he was tinkerbell.

But if they have a line, it wouldn't hurt to throw a couple bucks on the over 11.5 rounds. Depending on the odds of course.

you see it going the whole way?

sportsbetting.com

over 11.5 -160
under 11.5 +120

i was thinking put 50 on the UNDER sort of hedge my bet in case rahman wins, cuz if rahman does win itll be in the first 5 rounds.

if it goes past 6 rounds toney is winning.

Granted Rahman has a TON of power if he connects, but Toney has never, ever been KO'd. Sure he was fighting at lighter weights his whole career, but the dude had a stone head. The possibility is there for a Rahman KO i suppose, but i don't see it happening.

I'd take Toney and the over 11.5.

In his last fight Rahman couldn't KO Monte Barrett who was KO'd by Wlad Klitchko. I'd say Toney has a better chin than Barrett.

good enough for me...

85 on toney to win 50
80 on the over to win 50

Oh shit... I hope it goes the distance now... i don't want to screw you out of 80 bucks! But Toney hasn't knocked anyone out in 3 years and that was a 38 year old 210 pound Holyfield. Not a 240 pounder like Rahman.

karasz411 · March 18th, 2006, 12:48 AM

you dont bet on things without understanding the risk of losing... the way i see it, its an investment.

the only difference is the rate of return is much higher at gambling.

BtownJay · March 18th, 2006, 06:18 PM

Less than 3 hours til the broadcast starts.... lets see if we can win you some money karasz.

Lets go TONEY!!

I thought I hadn't seen Toney fight, I did. As a Middleweight a few years ago. He was about 50 pounds lighter. He didn't look like he conditioned at all for the fight.

BtownJay · March 19th, 2006, 01:57 AM

He has refused to lose weight for a long time now... he for some reason likes being fat.

He got lucky with that RETARDED judges ruling tonight... Toney lost, but apparently, the judges wouldn't let that happen.

I'm just happy i could at least give Karasz the over 11.5 round bet

karasz411 · March 19th, 2006, 02:53 PM

i watched the last 5 rounds of that fight... TONEY legitamitely won 1 of them... thats it...

and it fuckin drawed, even the stripper i was hangin out with at the bar said toney lost, and she loves toney.. it was pathetic
