James Toney vs Michael Nunn (Highlights)

[@louduva9849]

This is probably my favourite fight, and the primary reason Toney became my favourite fighter. Nice work. Cheers!

[@geoffn54]

Toney-Jirov was great as well.

[@bingochoice]

james toney, easily one of the best boxers ever..

[@RoninAli1]

No argument for that statement.

[@r0ckstar666]

He was great but Roy Jones Jr. Beat him in his prime

[@bingochoice]

@@r0ckstar666 thats true, but recently roy jr said james toney was the best boxer ever, go figure

[@r0ckstar666]

@@bingochoice yeah he took to many shots to his head and a guy who worked for the garbage company in Russia knocked him out. However he did fight Tyson to a draw last fight

defo if u liked toneys style in lower weights,check out Kash Farooq bantamweight.at presennt his style like james toneys

More James Toney Please!!

[@birdgangrydaman]

I don’t want to hear shit about any middle weights or top boxers. These beasts are putting in a display of poetry in motion that is unmatched by todays landscape

Awesome highlight!

Great video. I like how you showed which round was what unlike other highlights I watch.

Nunn was never the same after this fight

[@williamdrayton7352]

You right about that

[@deadarmd]

Should have stopped it after the knockdown. He was out

[@H.K.5]

Very true. His career went downhill fast after this fight and he was nowhere near as dominant as he used to be.

[@eronicava3724]

he better try and knock Nunn down.....Ohhh he did it🤣🤣🤣

[@geoffn54]

Great fight. James Toney at his best was something else. This was plan B for Toney - the counter punch brawler - because Nunn was naturally a much bigger man with a great jab.

[@na_haynes]

James Toney signature chopping right hand, straight out of a position bent over at the waist.

[@malcolmbaldwin5735]

They stopped the fight too early , he was still breathing

Yes, one can still see signs of life there.

2 of my favorite middleweights. Amazing bout 🥊

[@minahpoohbear7579]

That was indeed a damn good fight all the way through. The crowd had gotten their moneys worth.

[@incredibleXMan]

There was clear complacency by Nunn here. It may have cost him the fight as I believe he was ahead at the time of the stoppage.

[@H.K.5]

He was already losing after round 7. It was only a matter of time.

[@incredibleXMan]

Hamza Khaliq I think Nunn had the ability to keep away and could have coasted to victory.

[@englishguy9680]

@@H.K.5 I agree, he wasn't complacent in the later rounds he was exhausted the body shots James threw throughout the fight wore him down. By the eighth round his punches had nothing left so he had no way of keeping Toney off him, the writing was on the wall.

[@SLIMZD]

Pressure pressure pressure wore Nunn down with hard punches clean and accurate he doggy Nunn all fight wouldn't not let him breath after the 7th rds he slow down just enough for Jt to batter him with counter hard punches only guy who can shoulder roll a southpaw.

[@davanmani556]

He couldn’t grapple and that was the only way to beat James.

[@abdelmontasir2958]

One of the best middleweight fights of the 1990’s. I wanted Nunn to win because I was never a fan of Toney’s trash talk. But after watching the fight at the time and many times later, I have to admit James Toney was a great fighter. Would’ve loved to have seen him fight Chris Eubanks and Nigel Benn, but sadly it never happened. I think Toney could’ve beaten them both.

[@LucasWRIGHT402]

In the History of World Boxing, James " Lights Out" TONEY is one of only 2 Men to Ever Capture World Boxing Crowns from Super Middleweight ,Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight,and Eventually Becoming a World Heavyweight Boxing Champion...The other Man to Hold this exceptionally rare and Highly Coveted Distinction is none other than Roy Jones Jnr.

[@SubZero-vl6vm]

That shot was just like the one Frazier hit Ali with at Madison Square Garden.

[@AdrianRamirez-mz3uz]

Era una chingonas Nun, pero encontró su nemesis en la figura de Toney uno de los más completos peleadores ever ...

[@antiliess]

Middle weight division was fire back then, Michael nunn was fleet footed very good footwork in and out side to side constantly steps off the line changes angles ,toney’s defense was incredible, nunn was setting toney up with the uppercut after he ducks down the jabs, but nunn was fighting toney at close range not using his height and reach advantage to the full extent, and not great defense ,was getting hit by them rights constantly finally koed.

[@derekathomson]

"Lights out"! Thanks for sharing this video.

[@johnoneill7947]

Michael "Big Daddy" Nunn was no joke. He did a long stretch for dealing drugs.

[@jaybiggs97]

Damn, what a fight. Nunn was outboxing Toney for 7 rounds straight & looked like he'd cruise to a pretty comfortable victory, but Toney would flip the script.

[@sisophous]

This was considered a huge upset at the time. No one heard of James Toney until this fight.

[@4EyedAnimation]

He was an undefeated contender, his name was known. maybe not ranked top 5 but he wasn't a novice.

[@sisophous]

@@4EyedAnimation Up until this fight Michael Nunn didn't lose a round that I recall. So when he lost his title this came as a huge shock to me. Nunn was never the same again. This is the first time I heard of James Toney. Nunn was very hard to hit until he faced Toney in the later rounds.

[@4EyedAnimation]

@@sisophous Ya Nunn was unbeatable up to this point. Toney was definitely not the favorite, but wasn't a totally mystery. I think the knock on Toney was he didn't have KO power (which he didn't) but was a slick boxer. Saw him fight Iran Barkely live in Vegas a few years later. Talk about pitching a shut out.

[@bradvanders7857]

Just shows you lights out was was one bad mother NO ONE EVER DID THAT TO MICHEAL NUNN

[@05gnavarro]

Nunn was ahead on points but Toney was coming and landing more power punches in the last 3 rounds and that affected Nunn's stamina

[@jwilson1270]

Luv ya always 2nd2Nunn!

[@shottashabazz6721]

Nunn was outboxing Toney but as the fight progressed Toney figured Nunn out. He was susceptible to the left hook. Nunn had his right hand down exposing his chin throughout the fight and Toney took note of that.

[@redbird4481]

Impressive jabs by Nunn. Hard rights by Toney. Both fighters have great chins and great determination !_!

[@northernking6610]

[@gl6996]

I wish there could've been a James Toney vs Julian Jackson fight...

[@LowTierFallout]

Would’ve been extremely interesting. Toney has fantastic defense but Jackson had equally admirable timing; I think it’d be a contest of the Hawk’s power and Lights Out’s chin.

[@gl6996]

[@edwarddeitch8886]

If Toney had thrown right hinds straight down the middle instead of looping them across the center line he could have ended it a lot sooner. Watch carefully and you will see that Nunn's head is right there. The fatal flaw of most lefties.

Nun was very carless there and it cost him the fight.

[@andyelliott8027]

Toney was a better fighter, Nunn was flashy but couldn't hurt Toney. Nunn was beaten fair and square by one of the best fighters ever, Toney was a mean bastard and comes across as a not very nice person but he was a hell of a fighter. Toney was never stopped or knocked down, even at Heavyweight.

[@andyelliott8027]

By "Nun was carless" do you mean there was a nun there who didn't have a car or was Nunn careless ?

[@crewcab1984rv]

I was just going to say Toney was down once against Jones more or less Toney was off balance when he was show boating against Jones Jr he was not hurt, I wish Toney would have fought Jones Jr at heavyweight Tony would have knocked Jones Jr out cold
