James Toney is a fool and my guess is he will gas before the end of the 1st round....if he even gets to the end of the 1st round.

Randy is gonna win this one easy. Cant wait to see the vBookie odds.



P.S - Everyone say thanks to KryOnicle cos i had to rep nearly everyone in this thread so i could leave him some +rep for saying pretty much what i was thinking in this thread.

One of the things that Toney needs to worry about while standing is the clinch. It is completely different in MMA than it is in boxing. The ref will not seperate them, there is elbows and knees, the cage will definitely come into play as well as takedowns from the clinch.

I am interested to see if Couture throws any kicks as well. While Toney may be training with kicks when he is working on his striking now, he has never really had to deal with them while fighting.

You never know. Toney is going to have to deal with the cage which is going to be much different than navigating around a ring, smaller gloves which is going to force him to defend himself differently, and the kicks could present a problem for Toney as well.

I am not saying that Couture will or will not outstrike Toney, I am just saying that the differences between boxing and MMA make it a real possibility that Couture could infact end up outstriking Toney.
