    James Toney vs Ken Shamrock

    this looks like its serious

    " earliest date as I know it would be late September, and the latest would be late October," said Sherman, who added that Texas, California and Nevada were the three potential sites discussed, with Texas as the most likely destination.
    Also undecided is whether the match will take place under an established promotion, or as a stand-alone event of fights offered on pay-per-view. Sherman further mentioned that a reality series could be attached to the bout"

    This would be a hard fight to bet on... for some reason I just see fix written all over it. Seriously though, how could you bet on either guy with confidence? I don't even care to watch really.

    Interesting fight for sure. Both of these guys suck completely. I wonder what the line will be.

    yeah. both suck. But the line will be 1.30 shamrock or something. He at least have fought mma. I am not sure if its reasonable to hedge with toney KO. Fun fight.

    I was reading a little about this bout and just so you guys know it involves MODIFIED rules according to recent reports (not in stone yet though). When the fight hits the ground for 30 seconds it is immediately stood back up. Considering the fact that Shamrock looks like a fragile old man now and probably won't even be able to get Toney down, I'd say that there is a good chance he goes to sleep.

    A lot of value in Shamrock by ankle lock @ +200.

    The bloodyelbow article in the OP opens with "The moment you've been waiting for is here...". That's sarcasm, right?

    Toney has one of the worst boxing styles to try out MMA. He's a counterpuncher without one punch power, contrary to his nickname. I wouldn't think he could even beat Shamrock

    ^ and toney has pretty much no footwork. He just stands there and rolls his shoulders - which even shamrock can exploit with easy takedowns.

    30 seconds on the ground? That's Smackgirl rules. Serious, look it up.

    I would bet this fight doesn't happen ... Still waiting for shamrock Vs Kimbo, Frank, Tank Abbott. I'm pretty sure that my Amatuer record is mediocre enough that I have a better chance of fighting Shamrock this year then Toney

    I've been holding my breath since the second Tony tapped to couture. Can't wait to see a bout between a boxer that doesn't speak any language known to mankind and an old crusty broken down martial artist turned commentator. Man my blood is pumping just thinking about it, I can finally breath again.

    Might as well make it a ladder match with a briefcase full of the prize money in it at the top

    I'm a sucker for freak shows too for some reason. And I actually AM interested in this one. Just as long as they televised the Weigh-In's which would probably be better than the actual fight. Here are some other fighters I'd like to see on the card: Eric "Butterbean" Esch, Jose Conseco, Hong Man Choi, Kimbo Slice, Tank Abbott, lets see... who have I forgotten? Throw in a few Sumo Wrestlers for good measure. Who wouldn't watch a card like this?
