Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev-Tony Thompson Approved By IBF For 8/24

[TGD]

People getting too carried away with Thompson beating a criminally overrated plumber with a glass chin. Thompson is a pensioner. Pulev will beat him with ease.

[Weebler I]

So, in theory, Thompson might get a third shot at Wlad?????

Awful.

If that happens Boente should cut a deal for Thompson to fight Vitali, no one wants to see Wlad-Thompson III.

8/24?
Dang... that's kind of soon

I was thinking that aswell!
Kubrat Pulev I know will have been training recent, kind of unfair on Tony.

Yeah taking the David Price fight too seriously is ****** but to say Tony isn't a legit fight is crazy.
This is Pulevs first proper hard step up in challenge so I wont rule out Tony.

Pulev will have to blast thompson out of there to beat him. The only fighter that has beaten him is wlad K ! Dude is good, and the most dangerous aspect of it all is that he has been active and puplev has not. Good fight

It's kind of good for Thompson because he's still kind of fresh having just fought. Hopefully he didn't sustain any serious injuries and he can hop back onto the saddle

Kubrat Pulev will probably win this....by tko or UD
I'd be very surprised to see Thompson beat Pulev...

I sincerely hope it doesn't happen because i don't want to see him vs klitschko for a 3rd time.

Pulev starts slow, Thompson starts strong, so I expect Thompson to take the early rounds. What happens mid rounds and later will be the interesting thing. I'd make Pulev a very slight favorite, but I don't think Thompson is getting the respect he deserves. He's never beat a legit top 10 guy before, but neither has Pulev. They're the best (non Klit) either has ever faced. And Thompson has beaten a ton of top 20-30 HW's, more than Pulev, and he hasn't shown a big decline yet.

[andrewa1]

If Thompson does win, though I sincerely hope he vacates or makes a deal so we don't have to go through another Wlad beat down on him. Would much rather see him face Vitali, although that's unlikely.

The Tiger is going to get a third shot at Wlad!
