Thompson did better than I thought he'd do.
Here's a man that didn't touch a glove until he was 27, slow as hell, with no power - and he still managed to put some leather on Wlad.
Thompson surprised me with the early body shots also....nicely done.
Based on tonights performance, I'm thoroughly convinced of one thing: Any champ from the 90's woulda smoked Wlad's ass. (Take your pick - Old Foreman, Tyson, Holyfield, Morrison...etc).
I just don't see how Wlad would overcome the POWER and SPEED of some of the champs from the 90's...both of which Thompson is missing - IN ABUNDANCE..
Lots of running by Wlad also....
Nonetheless (in closing), cong**** to wlad on winning the bout by KO.
