ARREST COUTURE FOR “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” ON TONEY
Boston, MA– In a matchup that can best be described as Rugby vs. NFL football, Randy Couture, 220, Portland, OR, SUB 1 James “No Lights On” Toney. In roughly two and a half minutes, Couture, now 47, owned Los Angeles’ Toney who is now 42 and 237 lbs., a former boxing champ at 160, 168 & 190 lbs. The end came at 3:19 of round one with Couture catching Toney with a arm triangle choke.
TIME FOR BOXING PEOPLE TO WORRY…SORT OF..
Somebody called me almost in tears last night, “boxing got beat,” he said. This was not even a fair fight. Toney can’t spell wrestle and at 237, well let’s just say his once glaring hand speed is history. No folks, boxing didn’t get beat, a boxer far past his peak and almost 50 lbs. heavier than his prime embarrassed himself in an MMA ring trying to make Apple juice with Oranges. This was the easiest prediction to come down the pike in years, and yet some of you bet Toney! Couture, this does little for him, for at 47 somebody should have stuck a fork in him years ago. Toney, a man that burst on the scene in 1991 with a KO of then middleweight champ Michael Nunn, he needs to find a day job now!
SPEAKING OF FORKS, STILL ANOTHER IN B.J. PENN?
Frankie Edgar, 155, UD 5 B.J. Penn, 155. After having not lost a round at lightweight (155) since 2002, B.J. Penn’s loss to Edgar earlier this year in Dubai was to some a fluke. Edgar, fighting out of Tom’s River, New Jersey, simply never let up as he dominated Hawaii’s Penn for five rounds (25 minutes) in his first defense of the UFC (155) lightweight crown.
