James Toney’s (74-6-3, 44 KOs) first boxing match in nearly two years was a successful one, as the former champion took a unanimous 10 round decision over Damon Reed (45-15, 32 KOs).
Toney came into last night’s fight at a career-high weight of 257 pounds. This was a 40 pound increase over his last bout, a 2nd round KO over Matthew Greer in September 2009. Despite this, Reed failed to win a round on any card (100-90).
The fight, which took place in San Bernardino, California, was originally scheduled to be aired on Fox Sports Net. The telecast was abruptly canceled at the last-minute with no reason given.
