Default Toney vs. Peter (Boxing)

On September 2nd, Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare" Peter and James "Lights Out" Toney will meet in a Heavyweight showdown.

Here are the current odds:

Samuel Peter: -130

James Toney: EVEN


Toney is 38 years old and has a pro record of 69-4-3 with 1 No Contest. 43 of his wins came by KO. He recently fought Hasim Rahman to a Draw and beat John Ruiz for the title (but had the decision reversed after a post-fight test showed signs of steroids). He has been criticised lately for not training seriously and coming into the ring overweight.

Peter is 26 years old and considered the hardest puncher in the sport today. He's 26-1 with 22 knockouts. Despite knocking down Wladimir Klitschko 3 times in their fight, Peter still lost a decision. Many view him as the potential savior of the heavyweight division (he's powerful, dedicated, and leads a very clean lifestyle).
