Tony Thompson has an iron chin

[KostyaTszyu44]

Even though he got KO'd, I was still impressed with Thompson's durability and strong chin, he took some huge right hands, left hooks and uppercuts from Wlad.

yeah i was too actually

[GodOfWarII]

I mean the wins over Guinn, Sultan's brother, Luan Krasniqi, Vaugn Bean, Yanqui Diaz, and Maurice Wheeler. are now put into scope.

He's not a tomato can.

Nah, he's more like chicken noodle soup.

[RagingBull22]

Thomspon has a very good chin and good defense, he's a tough cat and he will be back!!

PROPS TO THOMPSON! he was very humble and put up a good fight at first. He even had me scared at first, if he had pop, He could have very well make a much better impression. Still PROPS VERY WELL DESERVED

[The Legacy]

Yeah he can hang in there. At one point he was eating some good punches but he still stayed up. Until the 11th, anyway.

[Mr. Ryan]

Klitschko fought a very gritty fight, didn't depend on the jab as much as he had in previous fights and let the power punches be what dictated destiny. It was a highly respectable showing, for both guys really.

I actually recall seeing Thompson hobbling in a shoe store a few weeks earlier looking for insoles to cushion his feet. I heard, I was not there, that Thompson had suffered a knee injury while running. When he fell down in the second round and took forever to get up I knew exactly what had happened, his knee was giving out.

Still he ****** it up and gave Wladimir a hell of a fight. His body work in the middle rounds was very impressive, I thought it was getting to Wladimir. Wladimir was forced to work hard, much harder than he had to in any of his recent fights.

At the end when Wladimir fell on Thompson's knee, that was the end of the night for him. Amidst the pressure, I think Thompson might have went down of his own volition because he wasn't in fighting shape. Case and point, he covered his head with his glove to shield himself and got up at 10.

I agree that when Thompson tumbled down in the corner in the round before the end, you knew he didn't have any fight left in him. It looked like the only thing that got him up was heart.

I have a sneaking su****ion that those unusually long trunks came in handy hiding a knee brace.

Still, it's the Heavyweight championship of the world and you have to suck it up or go home.

How many of those shots was Wlad sitting down on?

I can't believe you have this guy top five Run/W, when he gave up like a prime Lockett. At least when De La Hoya takes a dive he puts some effort into it.
