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

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

That's exactly what I was thinking.

The only fighter that has beaten him is wlad K !

Some guy called Eric Kirkland UD4'ed him in the early days.

This is a very good fight!

Thompson-WK 3?

People may not like it but if TT wins, he at least deserves the shot. 2 KO wins over Price and a win over a much-ducked Pulev...give him his due if he gets there. Adamek pulled out, Fury pulled out, Dimitrenko pulled out...at least TT has the guts to step in. One wonders if #3 Bryant Jennings was offered the shot by the IBF before #4 TT, and if he passed too. Would rather see TT-WK3 then more Pianeta/Jean-Marc Mormeck-WK garbage.

Tough fight for Pulev. His best weapon is his jab, but a tricky southpaw like TT can take that away.. I see this as a 50/50 fight but I hope Pulev can get the W, we already know what happens when Wlad fights Thompson.

I was leaning toward Pulev before but now that I see how soon it is I'm gonna say Pulev strongly. I think that gives him a bigger edge than his inactivity gives Tony. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I think.

I hate to think about it because I don't want to see Thompson getting a third hopeless shot but that's a huge possibility that Thompson offsets Pulev's best punch. Crap.

Pulevs superior movement and speed will matter. I would give my prediction only if I see in what shape Thompson is before the fight. He was in tremendous shape before the second Price fight, but not before the second Klitschko fight.

Pulev will **** thompson up

Thompson is getting hillariously overrated for beating that ****** Price

[nycsmooth]

I doubt TT pulls this 1 out...he had a good last fight but this 1 is vs a much better guy that has movement & angles, something he didn't fact last time out... Pulev by UD 12...
