James ‘Lights Out’ Toney amassed a record of 77-10-3. A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan he was a real throwback-style fighter who must have been nightmare for opponents.
I have identified 5 of his key boxing techniques, 5 fearsome factors. In summary, they are:
1. Stance and Footwork
⁃ Double cover or lead hand low
⁃ Varied weight distribution - constantly altered to suit opponent
⁃ Shoulder Roll/Half-Philly Shell
⁃ Switched very occasionally (first Michael Nunn knockdown)
2. Pressure
⁃ Constant grind forward
⁃ Rarely took a backward step
⁃ Turn the screw
⁃ Defensively-minded aggression
3. Defense into Attack and Vice Versa
⁃ Break Down
⁃ Shoulder Roll onto hook
⁃ Consummate counterpuncher - active
4. Punching Variations
⁃ Hooks
⁃ Uppercuts
⁃ Long shots - rotation
⁃ Squared for power when going for it.
5. Aggression and Intensity
⁃ Full-blooded!
⁃ Everyone knew why he was there
⁃ Exciting - real exciting style
So they are the boxing techniques that build my 5 Fearsome Factors of James Toney.
Cheers
