Well 3 eye catching results from last night (for me).

Samuel Peter Wpts UD James Toney. Sounds like a pretty dominating win for Peter who apparently looked much better and had Toney in all kinds of problem. Probably best if Toney retires, but I doubt he will. He is going to have to use his hype powers to get back in the mix now. I still don't think a world title is out of the question for Toney, cause Peter would probably start as favourite against 3 of the 4 titlist. However, seems like he is most definately slipping.

Travis Simms TKO 9 Jose Rivera. A dominating nine rounds for the undefeated "former" champion. After such a layoff and such a performance, I hope the forgotton man of boxing can start to be noticed. How about Simms vs Karmazin.

Guilemero Jones KO 1 Jeremy Bates - Not surprised with the result (did a round quicker than a "resurgent" Holyfield).... However, could he make an impact at Heavyweight. Arguably, the best Cruiserweight out there.

Toney will still be fighting when he is 50.

I was a bit surprised when a lot of people on here said Toney would school Peter, not that I disagreed with it as such, but time has been catching up with Toney for a good couple fo years and as cute as he may be, when he does very little in return then it's not possible for him to win a fight.

Any decent heavy that is willing to let some punches go will trouble Toney - He hasnt got the fitness to compete, and it's too late to start worying about it now.

I thought Peter would win again, he seems to actually listen to critisism from experts, and trys to put it right.
He came in fitter and that meant he could not only put pressure on Toney, but be able to outpunch him as well.

Where Toney goes from here i don't know.
