Comments

  • "That's the best thing I've ever seen in boxing... (Toney) didn't try to retaliate with punching behind the back and hitting below the belt. That's what you call a champion... Those punches behind the neck like that, it's going to take him two years to recover from that." - George Foreman during the broadcast about the disqualification
