Toney Gets His Lights Put Out By "The Natural"

Randy Coulture left absolutely no doubt that boxers who feel that they can walk directly into MMA and have the slightest hope to win a fight are sadly mistaken. It took him a mere 40 seconds to take boxing legend James Toney to the ground. From that point forward, you can pretty much guess at how the fight went.
Coulture proceeded to pound the boxing champ in ways Toney had never imagined.

I do not like James Toney; I never have. I've followed his career ever since he came on the boxing scene and weighed only 180. He can slug with the best of them, and had Coulture attempted to stand and trade with him, I think there would have been a much different outcome. And props to Toney for being the the first big-mouth boxer to have the stones to step inside the Octagon and try to back up what he was spewing. "The Natural" stated time and time again leading up to this fight; "This isn't a boxing match, it's a mixed martial arts match." Apparently Toney was not listening. Coulture slapped on an arm-in choke and Toney tapped out. He quit.....

So he got his 15 minutes of continued fame. He's been cut from the UFC roster and the mixed martial artists in the league will continue to wait for the next big-mouth from boxing to step over the line and into the Octagon. Think very long and hard before you do boys.....consciousness goes quickly.

A world-class boxer has absolutely no business getting into the cage with an MMA fighter, any more than an MMA fighter has any business getting into the ring with a pure boxer. They're two completely different sports; just like football and baseball. Forever shall they remain separate.
