By Jake Donovan - Tony Thompson knew better than to expect anything but the unexpected. It was how he was able to overcome a brief hailstorm before knocking out David Price in their first fight earlier this year.
It was how he was able to climb off the canvas to eventually repeat the trick Saturday evening.
"I would be a liar if I said I did not have butterflies before,” Thompson admitted after his 5th round knockout, once again in Price’s hometown of Liverpool, England. “David scares the hell out of me, he is a good strong boxer. But he brought out the f***ing best out of me. Can you say f*** (on TV)?"
It was probably what was going through Price’s mind after watching his career prospects go down the drain, as well as the minds of the rest of the top heavyweight contenders.
The Brit didn’t stick around for post-fight interviews, though Thompson’s candid commentary told the entire story. A 41-year old heavyweight emphatically shut down twice at the world title stage somehow still has every reason to gloat. [Click Here To Read More]
