Well thank god tony won!
this made my night! very excited to watch Tony's next fight
his striking looks very sharp!
he looks to be a really solid talent, will be interesting to watch him develop
he's not a scumbag douchebag
some1 has a high opinion of himself
Wow, I'm disappointed, is it just me or do ass holes seem to win.
To specify, I admire this kid for his hard work, obviousely he deserves credit, but comment about him being a role model makes just made me angry cause his belligerence and drunkeness makes it none of the sort, well hopefully hell change.
I knew he would win , but i didnt think by a first round. Besides ramsey was a major creeper. eeekk
I feel sorry for Ramsey cause he was crying so hard in the backround when he realized he lost.
I thought Ramsey was going to KO Tony at the start of the fight with all those punches. I don't feel too bad for Ramsey though, he must've known there was a possibility he could lose. I don't get all the Tony hate, yeah he said some stupid things but he apologized and that's all he can do. He was drunk, people do stupid things when their drunk. I'm sure you guys have been there too. Besides, this is reality TV, they keep the stuff that inflames people and leave out the rest.
Good fight, nice KO.

I saw that too. Ramsey was throwing those straight punches and was landing. I thought that a couple more and a well timed hook would have stunned Tony. BUT Tony's game plan was better I thought. The surprise take down probably took some wind out of Ramsey even for just a second, made him second guess. The knock out was unexpected (for me - I thought it would have gone to decision).
As for the douche that was Toney, he paid his dues, he did apologize - who knows if he meant though. Congrats to him no matter what.
He's good some really good hands, too much for Ramsey to handle, but unfortunatly his character fails the test...
"Where's you kid at?!"
Yeah Tony was clearly the dominent fighter wtth a better skillset, though for a few seconds at the beginning of the fight i honesty thought ramsey may drop him with those initial punches...pity though about Tony's personality I lost respect for him on tuf...someone who can get that personal with another guy he hardly knows, and to that degree of low, is certainly an asshole
