Tony Thompson is going to beat Wlad by UD.

You are one of Tony's few fans. Props to you for picking him when most of us naturally pick Wladimir. I've never seen Thompson fight so I can't really pick him to win.

What can you tell us about his style and why do you think he will UD Wladimir?

[beez721]

no i aint. tell me a fight where he was excitin and i will go watch it right now. i have his entire career on discs

1 exciting Wlad fight?

with the exception of a few fights most of his fights havent been exciting for the mere fact he;s usually totally dominating his opponents. I dont think I can count on one hand how many rounds he's lost in all his 50+ fights and 44ko's

[wladimer sucks]

I was wrong earlier. actually wlad has sum really gd fights, the sanders fight was great and so was the first brewster fight!

I actually dont think he can beat Wladimir. lol. Im just supporting my fighter. but if I use a sprinkle of imagination...

Wlad starts off very slow, and tends to just use his jab. Ibragimov was able to win the first round against Wlad because of that by using body shots, and Thompson is one of the most consistant body punchers at heavyweight. this should be able to win him a couple of early rounds and hurt Wlad's stamina, which is questionable.
In the middle rounds, Wlad will start throwing the right hand and left hook. But Thompson keeps a high guard, which will help him out here because Wlad never throws body shots. A high guard and an opponent that is right in front of you makes the other guy eager to try to be offensive, which will lure Wlad into throwing more often than he usually does, hes going to win these rounds but most of the punches arent really going to hurt Thompson.
Later on Wlad will be tired, and Thompson's consistant punch output and early body work will pay off and win him those rounds.

also, Wlad is vulnerable to left hands while pulling back after clinching, and Thompson is good at throwing left hands at odd angles. Thompson also throws combinations and likes to work in close, which will help when Wlad tries to clinch. plus Wlad almost never counters, he can only lead with punches to get anything done. when someone comes foward, he usually pulls back and posts his left hand. If Tony continues to always come foward and not give Wlad any real target with his high guard, Wlad might be thrown off stride.

end dream sequence.

Actually the way it could be done is to prepare to close the distance and work the body as much as possible, as well as work on uppercuts. Wlad has no inside game whatsoever, all he does is clinch his opponents when they get too close. Thompson must be prepared to eat a few jabs but he must get on the inside, it's Wlad's weakest spot. If Thompson stays on the outside, he will lose because Wlad cannot be outboxed from the distance, that's his perfect fight. I know it's easier said than done but I believe that it's the only Thompson's shot. I was really looking forward to Ibragimov doing just that and the fool just kept at the distance getting peppered by that jab. That's a perfect recipe to lose against Wlad, I still don't get that strategy.
