well,i`m shocked....if fightnews is correct,they had the weigh in for holi-toney tonight and toney weighed in at 217!!!!!....that`s ridiculous,imo......and he`ll probably be heavier by fight time....can you say"soft in the breadbasket"....
holifield weighed in at 219!....at 41,holifield has fought around the same weight for 10 years.....
2 pounds difference....toney must look like a whale..and lets not forget that while holifield will turn 41 in several weeks,toney is 35 himself......toney fought jirov at 190.....27 pounds heavier for this bout?.....good lord....and the holi odds are dropping....
i took toney at +170 when it first hit the boards....now,i`m gonna scour the sportsbooks to see what they are offering on holifield....i`m thinking about how to handle this turn of events...
i think 217 is way to heavy for toney to go 12 rounds effectively and sharply...unless holi`s half dead,and he may be,i think toney`s got a problem...
you can talk all you want,and toney does,but,217 on that frame is alot...i mean alot of weight....i think toney did himself a serious disservice by not being in much better shape than this....remember,roy jones fought ruiz at 193!!!!
i understand toney`s slick...i know that...i had him big vs jirov....but he`s not slick like chris byrd....he stands in front of his man..and he`s not a lefty..not as tall...carrying this kind of weight,he`ll be planted on the ropes or in a corner after 4 or 5 rounds.......190 for jirov.....217 for holifield...try hanging 27 pounds around your neck and doing cardio....you`ll understand what i`m talking about...
if this report is correct,and toney weighs almost as much as holifield,he`ll have to be almost dead by the later rounds....
i`m not telling anyone to go out and bet the farm on holifield....i need to get a handle on this info...i still have decent money on toney at +170 gathering dust at oly........i need to talk to some folks....before i do anything....if i do anything....
i have to think about this....confirm it from another source
