So proud that steve vukosa boxed in the streetbeefs yard several times....the mans a legend in our circle, and hes also a great guy, with a great character...pretty cool that he won himself a nationally recognized belt last year!...keep going steve!
This might sound pretty stupid, but he beat me too.I felt a bit better about it after he won the National G.G.'s about a year later. 😆 He went on to win the Pal Nationals finals too. I believe it was '98.
Yeah he preferred sparring over roadwork so think about all those hard rounds plus almost 100 pro fights without ever being stopped. Now he can barely speak coherently, it's a shame.
@@theequalizers1983 as long as you dont fight as long as Toney did you *should* be ok for the most part. However this is if you dont get hit on the head too much.
@@chileno189 But He's Alive can Play With His Kids, and Still Can Hop in there And Whoop some Novice Ass for about 5 rounds. Boxing Is a Risk Bro, Take it or Leave it.
Believe it or not his talent is that exact thing that held him bacc sometimes u over estimate yourself wen your are naturally got which create urges to take shortcuts or a mindset that makes you work less intense because u believe ur that gud without it
Thanks! We need more!!! This is a classic example of just being relaxed! Yeah Toney has a lot of experience but he doesn’t waste his movements! He’s always in range and his relaxation aides him in his reflexes as well.
Great to watch the legendary Toney spar as always. It hurts to see him willingly take so many shots though, all the shots he ate in sparring over the years degraded him alot. Unnecessary punishment
extremely well defensive philly shell fighter but also had immense dog fight in him, if he blocked or slipped all your punches he was happy but if you managed to hit him, he was not phased and wanted that payback.
All those little taps to the head really add up over the years. Its not about taking damage its about taking CONSTANT damage. One big punch is better than taking 50 little punches. Young fighters out there remember the golden rule HIT AND DONT GET HIT. Fuck all that ego and showmanship for the cameras. Protect ya head!
Note Tony also rolls and turns ever so slightly to take off the edge on every single punch. He is without a doubt one of the best to ever do it. The only way to beat James is when he beats himself. Truly a gift to the sport of boxing.
@Joepie De poepie dag meneer joepie de poepie leuk om iemand met zoon elegant naam tegen te komen. Bij het bekijken van een sparpartijtje tussen 2 meneertjes
i have a VCR tape from the same year and month with James tony training but my tape is of my trainers brother Willie Jorrin doing mitts with Freddie and then sparring for his upcoming fight
I fought Vukosa the year he won Natl superheavy title. RSC 2.. IT WAS MY 8TH FIGHT HIS 60 SOMETHING.. I GOT HIT HAD A FLASH KNOCKDOWN I GOT RIGHT UP. REF SAID I WAS BENDING AT THE WAIST?? WTF IS WRONG WITH THAT.No sour grapes, but if he had not blocked the hook I sent to his liver..he would have been off to the shitter to clean his drawers..
I fought Vukosa in amateurs. He would be 3 feet away smashing toney with jab. He was OBIOUSLY working on inside fighting.your a fool if you think Vukosa would not use his reach.
I fought Steve in the Amateurs the yr he won nationals. It was my 8th fight . He was fast & i was green. Had i had ten more bouts before i met up with him he would not have bern standing at the end..but he won and thats that..
Sad to watch 😔 James lights out Toney should of been protected from himself..... Probaly took more punishment sparring than in actual fights & Nigel Benn didn't like sparring & Imo he was right. Truly savage footage. James Lights out Toney LEGEND 🥊🥊🙏
Everyone commenting about these shots Toney is taking..Did anyone notice this guy is a southpaw!!! Toney landing/slipping more shots when he switches oit his conventional stance..
when he became a heavyweight, he stopped training conditioning altogether lol. Dude just came to the gym, didn't even bother warming up and went straight to sparring
Take notes, dont be a lazy fighter Just because you can make some slick moves, doesn't mean you lay on the ropes Move your feet, move your head and Tony didn't move his feet, lazy...
toney looks like he is playing around but still getting hit too much which is why he now slurs etc. with the right discipline he could have been the best ever. still was damn good though. ❤
I love middleweight Toney. This heavier lazy Toney is too frustrating to watch. James gets hit way too much in the sparring sessions as he moved up. Way way too many landed shots on him here.
He looks like he just letting the big guy work, giving him rounds, and having a good time, "getting worked" I dunno, he doesnt look interested in returning shots, he is prolly helping the big guy train
Adam Massey you don’t help somebody train by letting them land shots like that. And if you’ve seen Toney spar before, he’s a huge dick during the process. He’s not your friendly sparring partner. He’s talking mad shit in there with this guys too.
Mike Hawk not caring if you get hit is the key that opens the door to being relaxed in the ring. It can lend its self to poor defensive habits as natural reflexes waver
James Toney's an old school fighter. He's said many times that he 'loves to get hit.' Boxing's a contact sport after all. James is usually brutal on his sparring partners. Nobody took it easy on Toney in sparring when he was starting out.
not a good showing for Toney; he must've had a tough workout session before these rounds as he looked dead tired and sloppy. not sure what the point of sparring such as these are, when they're not working on anything in particular and aren't getting coached. just pointless brain damage
training for when toney is tired, i think its important to know how to deal with someone when your dead tired, thats why mayweather is amazing and never gasses, he knows where to rest and were he can coast, and if you can find those places to catch your breath while youre tired it can help alot, ive seen alot of guys forget technique once they get tired and feel the pressure

Scuba Steve?
@A Mos huh?
I fought him the yr he won national G.G
He beat me by pretty clear decision in the semi-finals of the National P.A.L.'s back in the day. Good fighter.
This might sound pretty stupid, but he beat me too.I felt a bit better about it after he won the National G.G.'s about a year later. 😆 He went on to win the Pal Nationals finals too.
I believe it was '98.
It’s almost a curse having a good chin. Toney doesn’t give a f@rk about eating a few to land his, as long as he looks good doing it.
Dude this is the perfect way to describe his style
Yeah he preferred sparring over roadwork so think about all those hard rounds plus almost 100 pro fights without ever being stopped. Now he can barely speak coherently, it's a shame.
@@chileno189 yeah bro when you replace cardio with sparring, and very hard sparring, your bound to talk like that

imagine if Toney was in prime shape throughout his career.. just imagine.
Scary!!!!
If I was going to create the perfect fighter I would definitely give him Toney's confidence and attitude.
Tony wasn’t far off from being the perfect fighter tbh.
He had it because of his skills though. Understand that. He put the work in from an early age.

Tony Good but he's taking 2 may shots and it's not good at the time of his career she see how he talks now🤐
Great to watch the legendary Toney spar as always. It hurts to see him willingly take so many shots though, all the shots he ate in sparring over the years degraded him alot. Unnecessary punishment
Yeah and having almost 100 pro fights without ever being stopped. His legendary chin gave him almost too much confidence and now he can hardly speak.

True. You can't even understand what he is saying today. I'm sure as he ages more you will eventually not understand anything he is saying.
This is some good ass footage. Toney was incredible
Toney loved these kinds of fights, be it in an actual fight or sparring.
All those little taps to the head really add up over the years. Its not about taking damage its about taking CONSTANT damage. One big punch is better than taking 50 little punches.

No wonder why this guy looked so Goodman strertbeefs...he spared Toney...Toney my all time fave....him n lennox
Wow. You know you’re boxing. Most people don’t know how good they both were.
A spar sesh is a spar sesh, Algd have fun. But seriously to me James Toney is the best boxer I've ever seen.
Imagine if Tony actually tried here and didn’t just float around lol
Punches don’t affect James Tony like they do to regular fighters. Best chin in boxing ever.
Note Tony also rolls and turns ever so slightly to take off the edge on every single punch. He is without a doubt one of the best to ever do it. The only way to beat James is when he beats himself. Truly a gift to the sport of boxing.
Look what good that did him. Dude has one of the worst cases of CTE of all time and you need subtitles to understand anything he says.

Toney took it easy on this sparring partner
No he did not, have known Steve Vukosa for 30 years they busted eachother up damn good.
Toney was more prideful over the fact that, though he was hit, he wasn't being hurt. Vukosa was hitting Toney clean!
Who here from JRE
Gang gang
Me
which jre??
which episode
What was said
James Toney is the fucking man
Lights out loved to Clown and keep you frustrated. But the lessons were invaluable.
He's a legend 💡 🥊

Masterful counter punching by Toney.
Beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fuck yeah! Good stuff Stevie.
No wonder tony eating so much shots with that big ass head guard lol
Toney was born for Boxing, he was very resistance against punches. That kind of natural ability has not even Tyson, but Ali had it too.
Toney sparring a much heavier fighter, and giving him the business!
Skills all day🥊✊🏿😍💯
I fought Vukosa in amateurs. He would be 3 feet away smashing toney with jab. He was OBIOUSLY working on inside fighting.your a fool if you think Vukosa would not use his reach.
Prepping for Jirov sparring southpaw?
I fought Steve in the Amateurs the yr he won nationals. It was my 8th fight . He was fast & i was green. Had i had ten more bouts before i met up with him he would not have bern standing at the end..but he won and thats that..
Headgear makes a lot of the shot stick that wouldve slipped thru without it
You lost as soon as you start fighting his fight
Hate the headshots he eats though
Did Freddie say something about peanut butter being eaten between rounds?
Is James taking it easy on him to build his confidence, James is lazy in sparring too, he takes shots when he knows how to get away from them
James could never be a trainer because he was gifted I don't think he know how slick he really was in that ring never been stopped
The Gentle Giant Steve Vucosa 🚍 “THE BUS DRIVER!”
Lmfao
Danger Time. Lights Out Time.

People don’t know what they looking at! Dude is missing a lot of shots and a lot of the ones that are landing are not flush
James Toney is an absolute beast … him at 160 absolutely dangerous bar Roy jokes fight … James at any weight is a problem coz of his skill set
2:43 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Tony playing with him
What headshots? Those are ringside love taps..
Sacrifices of boxing to be as good as toney defensively u got to live in the ring
Top
James toney was so lazy but talented smh
when he became a heavyweight, he stopped training conditioning altogether lol. Dude just came to the gym, didn't even bother warming up and went straight to sparring
I think you just described me too fr Shalance lol
浅野弥助 that’s me too lmao I love sparring
He never used to be lazy
CHICO POPI true
The real TBE.
Anyone know who the guy is shadow boxing in the background 3:57
toney getting the brakes beat off him
What size gloves are those looks small
Not really 14 oz at least
James knows every nuance of defense yet he accepts shots for no reason at all, scary how good he is on the ropes though, reminds me of mayweather alot
jerry Cooney minus the lefthook.
18 Oz gloves?
we just witnessed an assault
No wonder he punch drunk
This is why Toney mumbles now
Because he did this kind of stuff daily that's why
Tony got worked 🤣🤣
Vukoša zver !
Take notes, dont be a lazy fighter
Just because you can make some slick moves, doesn't mean you lay on the ropes
Move your feet, move your head and Tony didn't move his feet, lazy...
Well, the other guy needs to work on his stamina and endurance. His sparring is turning his punches into slap fighting.
vukosa can fight!
toney looks like he is playing around but still getting hit too much which is why he now slurs etc. with the right discipline he could have been the best ever. still was damn good though. ❤
Toney great fighter but way too many head shots
Datz Why He Punch Fkn Drunk Now,He Takes Too Much Punishment,Toney Iz A Real Life Punchin Bag.#Foh
This is sad to watch for me. The guy wouldn’t have touched james 10 years earlier.
I love middleweight Toney. This heavier lazy Toney is too frustrating to watch. James gets hit way too much in the sparring sessions as he moved up. Way way too many landed shots on him here.
Toney got battered

*Vukosa is a b... Toney rules.*
Toney was amazing but Vukosa is such a smooth fighter, who is more discipline and therefore, used his reach to tag Toney non-stop.
not a good showing for Toney; he must've had a tough workout session before these rounds as he looked dead tired and sloppy. not sure what the point of sparring such as these are, when they're not working on anything in particular and aren't getting coached. just pointless brain damage

Wrong
Destiny Homes W no he’s not you’ve just never boxed a day in your life& if you have it was again mediocre competition
Southpaws make James look a little less amazing than usual lol
Shoulder roll doesn't work on southpaws
Out of shape 😂😂
The left straight @ 7:07 had Toney a little shook.
