Peter/Toney Redux
Below I've included some words from the one and only Unsilent Majority on the Sam Peter/James Toney throwdown. U.M. is on the team over at Kissing Suzy Kolber, the best NFL blog in town. He watched the fight Saturday night and dashed us off a few words from the office about the affair. I'm muy grateful for his effort just for alerting me to the fact that Billy Blanks was actually in Toney's corner during the fight! Jesus. I had no idea. And I must say, I wholeheartedly agree with our man here about Lights Out the Heavyweight. I was watching the Toney/Michael Nunn fight the other night on YouTube and marveling at James the middleweight. Of course, that was 16 years and several hundred pounds ago for the man. Check it out below, check out Dundee in Nunn's corner, check out how Slim Jim Toney drops Nunn like a bad habit. But first I hand it over to U.M.:
...watching Billy Blanks try to dole out serious coaching in the the corner was hilarious. I was just waiting for Freddie Roach to tell him to shut the fuck up. Honestly I cannot stand Toney as a heavyweight, I can't remember his fights ever providing entertainment. However this one was different, this time Peter just came out clubbing. The knockdown wasn't pretty but watching his jelly roll ass hit the canvas was theraputic. It came off of a fairly ordinary jab that should only have succeeeded in making Toney's nose uglier. Instead Peter was able to catch him flat footed and Toney went down in slow motion (at least it looked like slow motion). The first half of the fight was hugely entertaining because the two guys stepped up and slugged it out. Once the second half of the fight got underway it became fairly one-sided with Peter pounding away...good times all around. Now let's see if Peter can do that against a champion.

many giants fans have told me how annoying it is that ladamlian tomlinson is known as LT when, you know, lawrence taylor deserves to be treated as a golden god.
frankly, I'm more annoyed that sam peter has taken christian okoye's awesome nickname. there will only be one nigerian nightmare. and he was one of the greatest tecmo bowl running backs ever.
far as toney goes...aren't people who used steroids usually in, um, Good shape? oh heavyweight division, where hast thou gone?
