[!! Mr. Soprano]

I'm looking forward to this...

here is what ********* posted (below)

Where are all the comments? There were so many people bitching that Thompson should get a shot.

Only part that sucks is that Klitschko's calendar is full. Good bye to any further unification possibilities with Chagaev.. and what's the word with Peter - Vitali??


IBF OKs Klitschko-Thompson!
The IBF has granted IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko an exception to fight Tony Thompson (31-1, 19 KOs), the WBO mandatory challenger. The fight is expected to take place on July 12th at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. "I am very happy about the fair decision by the IBF, because Thompson has already been waiting for a year as the mandatory challenger," said Klitschko. "There is a reason why Thompson is number one in the world ranking – he hasn’t lost in eight years! I saw his knockout win in Germany over Luan Krasniqi, and definitely will not underestimate him. I look forward to getting back into the ring in July and to defending the titles again by the end of the year." Klitschko's IBF mandatory is against unbeaten Olympian Alexander Povetkin.

Not exactly, read this. The previous information that we were getting was a set up.

Ok, the latest news is that IBF did not really decide to give Wlad a levee(sp?) on the defense against Povetkin.

It was a made up post(by one of the establisged members, as an experiment) on one of the russian forums that later spread into russian media and then german media.

That dude really knows how to pwn. He set it up as a trap to see if the stuff from their forum really gets plagiarized by the official sources, because they had earlier su****ions that it was.

Mother****er. That's better than our . . . . . . of course I can't say.


Well I suppose Pump and Reeno can call the IBF head directly to weed **** like this out.


How do you know? Did the the poster out himself on the forum?

Yeah, they long suspected that thier "battles" and analysis were used by skanky journalists as their sources, sometimes without even editing, so one of them decided to set up an experiment. He just wrote in one of the threads(about Klitschko-Thompson) that he read about somebody who heard from a reliable source(rather iffy, huh?) that IBF decided against Povetkin's management to give Wlad_thompson a go.

So, he made a thread today about all of his discoveries.

I think Thompson will make it competitive
