In the main event of the evening, titled “The Last Chance’, James” Lights Out “Toney took on his old nemesis and an ex heavy weight champion Hasim “The Rock” Rahman in a twelve round battle, televised by FSN network on “The Best Damn Sports Show”.

Toney was doing Toney showing great defensive skills and tagging Rahman at will starting from second round.  Third stanza was very dominant for James, who started to look like old Toney and hitting Rahman with a lot of clean blows. There is a moment of truth in every fight and you could see that right after a clash of heads, Rahman motioned to the referee Ray Corona, like he was hoping to get saved: at this point Rahman’s will to win was sucked out of him and he continued to look puzzled as he was taking big right hands from Toney and it looked like it would only be a matter of time before the end. After the third stanza in the corner, doctor asked Rahman three times if he wanted to continue to which Hasim did not reply but kept saying that he could not see and had blurry vision. The doctor had no choice but to stop the fight for safety reasons; it was declared a TKO win for Toney, just decision, since it was Rahman who did not want to continue, not the doctor.

“I am not going to fight with one eye,” said Rahman with a huge gash over left eye:” I could not see the punches.”

“I made him quit,” said Toney: “I am the best fighter in the world.”

Then he made a reference to wanting to fight Klitschko and his sister.

“Lights Out” is back, who knows he might get yet another title shot.
