James Toney vs Hasim Rahman Tonight on Fox Sports



James "Lights Out" Toney (70-6-3, 43 KOs) looked to be in good shape for Wednesday night's "Last Chance" showdown against Hasim "The Rock" Rahman (45-6-2, 36 KOs) at the Pechanga Resort in Temecula, California. Toney weighed 226, his lowest weight since 2003. Rahman weighed 244.

Fightnews.com

Toney looks fairly lean compared to his last couple of outings. Hope James comes out on top (and passes the UA afterwards of course). Rahman looks good as well.

i'm still picking Rahman. I think too much hard living makes it difficult to be effective at age 40.

I really wish Toney hanged them up years ago, he's slurring his speech and sounds incoherrent at times, but I will watch and root for "Lights Out"

Yet I wouldnt mind if The Rock wins cause Steward knows he's bad for Wladimir!

Toney's been slurring for years, that's just the way he talks. He talks like he has a permanent lugey up his nose/at the back of his throat.

And of course he doesn't look very good, he's getting up there in years even for a Fighter.
