if Tony has good physical conditioning I believe he will win this fight.

I'm not part of his camp or anything, so I don't know. I have seen interviews and a video on youtube of him seeing a doctor, the doctor checked his stress levels and his overall health and everything. That summed up with him appearing to be in good shape and coming in the lightest of his career in 5 years, he weighs less then he did in the first fight, pretty much tells me he's taken this very seriously.

I was thinking he'd go the distance this time. Starting to feel strong about this. I don't think he can take a decision in Wlad's homecourt, but if he's as healthy as he says he is.... I think this will be a fight.
I'll take back everything I said about TT.... only if he's 100% in this

I agree big time. Look, Tony may not have a ripped physique or the most enthralling style, but the truth of the matter is he's a very good, awkward fighter and he proved that in their first fight at the very least. I know compubox stats only mean so much, but you don't go in and out land Wladimir Klitschko 150-121, for no reason. And, given he looks to be 100% for this fight, and IMO I think he hits harder now then he did then believe it or not, this fight at the VERY least is competitive.

If Klitschko and Emmanuel took Thompson lightly, given Wlad coming in at a career high, and Thompson IS 100% I think he COULD pull of a close win. Whether he gets it or not, Idk. But in their first fight he had Wlad looking very tired after I think the 5th round Wladimir was really breathing heavy from all the body punches Thompson was landing, and he was landing a lot.

When things started to change for Thompson, is Wladimir clinched him and fell on top of Thompson, and Tony got up clearly limping and looked off balance, that's when Thompson really slowed down and lost the mobility to punch from angles, and use his feet to defend against Wladimir's jab. Either way, I could be wrong and Wlad could come out and beat Thompson, but I got a funny feeling this will turn out to one shocking night of boxing.

Nice to see Thompson getting some respect - an honest, gutsy fighter who always prepares well comes to win. He gave Wladimir one of his toughest fights, & got very little respect for it.
I think he's probably Wladimir's toughest opponent of the moment, & has a genuine chance if Wlad is not 100% prepared for a tough, long fight.
