The fourth defense of James Toney's IBF Middleweight Championship is another filled with controversy as he struggles mightily with the game Dave Tiberi. Tiberi loses a point for a low blow in the sixth round and ultimately an unpopular split decision. After losing the fight, Tiberi retires from boxing despite an investigation being launched into the decision, which uncovers that the judges scoring the bout for Toney are not even licensed in the state of New Jersey.
