Is this fight not going to air in the US? I can't believe that Epix would air a turd such as Pusvetkin-Rahman and then ignore this fight. What a shame.
Epix have held back/withdrawn from televising boxing at this current time thats why they have not picked up the fight, hopefully they come back in the future.
How about Thompson, is that a heavy weight for him to come in at or is it typical?
That's the heaviest he's ever been in a fight. He was 262 when he faced Price in the first match and 259 in the second one, he looked out of shape in the first Price fight. He's 264 now. Granted it might be muscle and not fat, but I seriously doubt it(we would have to wait and see, since he weighed in with a shirt on). In the fights vs Klitchko he was 245 and 247 respectively. I think if Pulev manages to survive until round 6-7, he would probably dominate the second part of the fight.
If he was 259 for the David Price rematch then 263.9 isn't that bad I guess.
You have to figure that he didn't do a full training camp since this is just 6 weeks after his last fight. I just hope it isn't a sign that he let himself go.

Maybe he weighed in with his clothes on. HW's do it all the time.
