Michael Nunn on Losing Title & Suffering First Loss to James Toney, James was 20-1 Underdog (Part 6)

[@reggiefurlow1]

The 80s has a treasure trove of fighters

[@kharyvines6971]

RIGHT and THE GENERATION THAT MISSED THE 80s. need therapy LLS

[@Punchy_Climber]

James put on a helluva performance. Michael's stoic because he could have said he was weight drained against Lights Out. Nunn still has his wits about him. For a guy who did a decent stretch, he's proof you can be a stand up guy without acting like a tough guy.

[@Matt-uv8rz]

Much respect to Nunn for giving Toney his due credit. Granted I'm a fan of Lights Out, but it was good to see Nunn show class about the loss (my guy Toney will never give credit to anyone who beat him).

[@mandarkastronomonov2962]

I was unable to watch the fight between Nunn and Toney, but when I heard the result the next day, I was devastated. It took me 30 years before I finally watched it.

[@kharyvines6971]

I WAS HAPPY

[@mandarkastronomonov2962]

@@kharyvines6971 Hey. What can I say? Toney did kind of grow on me.

[@youngmelo3717]

​@@mandarkastronomonov2962I just found out who Michael Nunn was today while looking up prime James Toney fights. Nunn is one of the best boxers I've ever seen lol he was dominating the Toney fight before he got koed

[@tdb4763]

​@mandarkastronomonov2962 he's from Ann arbor. It's hard not to be great when you're from there

[@godswill5590]

I was THERE. It broke my heart to see Mike get cracked.

[@mauricebgm]

Hearns would've been a bad matchup for Nunn.

[@iamrodmanor]

Nunn was a big guy compared to some of Hearns’ better fights at lower weights. Nunn had been down a few times though so it could’ve been a bad matchup as you said. Regardless I would’ve loved to see it!

[@AaronRay-ir5id]

Hit man 100% would have knocked nunnsy cold my niggy

[@trhoades2063]

You need to interview James toney!!! He's the badman who pops up in everyone's story arc

[@youngmelo3717]

Wow crazy you just uploaded this I literally just found out who Michael Nunn was while looking up prime James Toney fights and bruh he's one of the best boxers I've ever seen lol he was dominating James Toney before he got koed. Even the judges had him up BIG on the cards. Nunn is a real one because he didnt even make excuses here. Im disappointed in old head boxing fans for letting his legacy die.

[@VJPrice-uw9si]

That fight hurt my heart! Nunn was taking care of business 🥊🥊🥊

[@Jumpman90]

Hearns would’ve destroyed nunn

[@mounstursz]

His downfall in that fight was throwing that upper cut to far out and James throw a left hook that got there first. Many fighters get caught throwing an uppercut to far from the op, you gotta be in the pocket to throw that punch.

[@keithluckett3331]

TRUTH✊🏿☀️🌟🛸🧬🔥💯

[@freddy8479]

Michael became TOO COMFORTABLE AND BIG HEADED with James Toney in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa and got KO'ED!!

[@bustingcaps]

I’m glad to see Micheal out because he is family on my mom side

[@ldheard34]

He is my cousin on my Mother’s side also. Freddie Joe Nunn (NFL) is another cousin.

[@bustingcaps]

@@ldheard34oh really do you Pee Wee My mom was Betty Lewis and my grandma was Estelle Thomas from Jackson, Miss

The names don’t ring a bell. Do you know Aunt Dump?

[@bustingcaps]

@@ldheard34 I can't say what about Aunt Bea

[@ldheard34]

She sounds familiar.

[@EvanBarr-uk3vk]

Man this guy has it together upstairs ,was a great fighter that never got a break ,but still was succesfull

[@princenist]

Michael Nunn is a class act. He was a better boxer, he just got caught with a lucky punch 🥊

[@walterallen1687]

That was no lucky shot

[@youngmelo3717]

I just watched their fight for the first time like an hour ago and I agree because Nunn was dominating he looked like the perfect boxer

[@walterallen1687]

@@youngmelo3717 he was what we didn’t know at the time was Lights out was an all time great boxer just bursting into the scene

[@jamesmarshall6619]

it wasn't luck, Toney had been catching Nunn all night. Nunn was winning convincingly but Toney had been competitive the entire fight and caught Nun multiple times throughout the fight. Toney timed it perfectly.

[@joestrickland5153]

CLASSY CHAMP CLASSY💪🏾

[@Dragon-qt5zu]

Back in the day I thought he was way more cocky than he really is

[@brob8204]

He was.. I've never been so I can't speak from experience, but they say that's what prison does to a man.

[@tonyoliver5537]

James wanted to win more that night he needed a knockdown are KO to win because he was behind on points KO'd Michael Nunn in the 11th round with a stoppage of the fight.

[@Dramattic1]

This dude looks like a default 2k myplayer

[@Exquisite_The_P]

James Toney knocked him out so bad Nunn thought he was a drug dealer after

[@darren-q5n]

nunn just got careless every other round he won

[@kingbuck427]

😂😂😂

[@omarrichardson2361]

Toney landed a lucky out of sequence punch. Double left hook. Nobody throws 2 left hooks in a row fr.

[@philanderthompson5727]

😂 ok

[@MonstrMash123458943]

facts nunn was out boxing him in every way that whole fight

[@noopposition]

no such thing as a lucky punch in boxing u set everything up and hope it works out.

[@walters2405]

lies

[@kharyvines6971]

IT'S CALLED SET UP. PLUS AGAIN JAMES BLOCKED MOST OF THEM PUNCHES LIKE HE DID WITH ROY

[@theimpeccable1069]

Angelo Dundee was a "psychiatrist" .. A great trainer!! 💯

[@josecuellar3620]

Toney knocked him the fuck out !

[@billybucks8234]

Jesus is king

[@Chali_M]

Vlad, you just said he was winning on the cards. How do you think he lost because his head got big???

[@mauricewilliams9551]

Slacking off during training.

[@Chali_M]

@@mauricewilliams9551 that's not it. Like I said he was winning on all the score cards and he just got caught

[@mauricewilliams9551]

@Chali_M he got tired and started dropping his hands and getting sloppy and standing in front of James

[@Chali_M]

@mauricewilliams9551 i remember the fight. Vlad tried to tie in a false narrative that his head got too big out the ring and that's why he took the loss. He can miss me with that. He simply got sloppy at the end of the fight
