Comments Thread For: CompuBox: Pulev Closed Fight Strong in Final Four
Kubrat Pulev, who landed nearly half his power shots on Tony Thompson, had a 80-28 edge in punches landed over the last 4 rounds to win a dominating twelve round unanimous decision.
Didn't deserve to be a dominating decision. Glad compubox bore that out, Pulev landed only a few more total punches than Thompson. Thompson dominated the first rounds, the middle rounds were very close, the late rounds were stronger Pulev. The judges were real biased, this was much closer than the scorecards had it. I had it 5/4/3, with Pulev winning by one round. Thompson is slightly better than Pulev, except that he's 42 and gassed out as the fight progressed. Still, great fight, two masters at work. Pulev has now beaten a legit top 10 fighter, is undefeated, and has earned a shot at the title.
