James Toney Fights on DVD

The result of the July 16th James Toney vs Hasim Rahman rematch which was initially ruled as a TKO win for Toney has been changed to a no-contest by the California State Athletic Commission.

In the 3rd round of the Fox televised fight, Rahman received a cut over his left eye from an accidental head butt between he and Toney. Before the end of the round, Toney landed a hard right hand to the head of Rahman which visibly hurt Rahman and had him wobbly. In-between the 3rd and 4th round, the ringside doctor had come to Rahman's corner to check on the fighter. Rahman stated that he could not see out of his left eye, which prompted the doctor to have the referee stop the fight. Confusion then erupted as to whether the fight was stopped due to the severity of the cut, or due to Rahman stating that he could no longer fight on.  In an interview after the fight the Doctor stated that he had the fight stopped due to Rahman's statement and not because of the cut, which would lead one to believe that the fight be ruled as a TKO. However upon appeal by Rahman's camp, the fight was changed to a no-contest.
