I'll be rooting for Tony Thompson tonight.

Memo to both Thompson and Ibragamov...don't quit your day jobs.

I thought Thompson looked very good. He didn't look exciting at all, but do not confuse the words exciting and good to be synonyms in boxing. He displayed the same very good jab and steady as she goes nature that could give troubles to some of the established fighters. He has no real power to speak of and his hand speed is only passable at best, but he makes up for it with intelligent punching and really good accuracy for a heavy. He's not a great fighter, and he may lull you to sleep, but he is a very good fighter and somebody is going to have to step up and take him on pretty soon.

exactly right

[AREALFIGHTER]

I am still very unimpressed with dirrel his brother is sounder. His skill is passable, he does not use a jab very much he lacks accurracy. he has little boxing movment and loads up on punches when he does not have the power. Now he is a great athlete ala RJ but Jones was much smarter and had more power.

Thompson was garbage. I cant believe these guys are top 15 heavyweights. This makes the sport look bad, IMO. Boxing is on a downslide...a huge one.
