Should be a good fight, call me insane, but I actually think Thompson can pull off the win here.Comment

whats that Manny? Klitschko will stop fighting Thompson in six-rounds? I agree. by then, Thompson will have taken over the fight and will start sweeping rounds. Thompson aint stop him though.
Manny's fighters have all been falling lately, and for good reason. they cant fight on the inside. Andy Lee? smashed by Vera, even though he was much more skilled. Cintron? was getting hustled by Feliciano and fell to the in-fighting of Margarito, even though hes physically big, strong and hits like a truck.
The clinching stuff aint gonna work. you can point at Manny's success with Hearns, but if you actually watch Hearns...he fought inside all the time. He was NOT a grabber.Comment

Who Cares?Emanuel Steward, trainer of IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, has predicted a knockout win inside of six-rounds when his fighter takes on WBO mandatory challenger Tony Thompson on July 12 at the Color Line Arena in Germany. He doesn't feel that Thompson has enough fire power to overcome the Klitschko charge. [details]
Seriously?
Who will pay to see this ****e apart from fat germans?
Sad Wlad has much better foes to face.
Long gone are the days of Quality Heavyweight match ups.Comment

I never understood that about Steward. I saw some early Wlad's fights and he never used to hold his opponents on the inside. He didn't have the best inside game but he had something. Lewis was decent on the inside, although he rarely showed it.whats that Manny? Klitschko will stop fighting Thompson in six-rounds? I agree. by then, Thompson will have taken over the fight and will start sweeping rounds. Thompson aint stop him though.

Thompson seems to be perrenially underestimated. Anyone remember the Guinn fight? Krasniqi was also a solid betting favorite when they fought. I feel that Thompson is actually one of the better challengers out there.Comment

tony thompson would beat samual peter and ruslan chagaev imo
it's not the fight everyone wants but tony stands as good or better chance than every other guy including peter and haye,Comment

I dont know why everyone is predicting Wlad to go the distance every single time now. Yeah his last opponent was difficult for him style wise, but Wlad has KOed 43 opponents in 50 victories. The man is the heaviest hitter AND best boxer in the HW division, I say he takes an easy KO, within six.Comment
