I am worried for old man Thompson.

The referee needs to step in early for the sake of his wife and family.

Shows how easy it is to make a fight when both fighters are interested and there are no obstacles. Ortiz is probably gonna put him to sleep.

Yea most **** fights with no hopers looking for paydays are easy to make. Smh wtf dude.

Weak card as usual HBO... why pay for this crap?

[VatoMulatto]

Pointless fight and Ortiz will KO Thompson inside 5 rounds. Thompson should retire.

And btw, ppl calling this a good card...Tony Thompson has never really been more than a gatekeeping journeyman. He was a decent heavyweight from a weak era. But right now, hes absolutely shot to shreds. This is a horrible fight. I would have been happier with him fighting Shannon Briggs tbh. HBO is this year's king of mismatches btw. I wonder if they will get all the hate PBC got last year.

Tony talked his way into a final pay check. Hope he's willing to accept the damage.

Of course he is, he gets punched in the face for a living, it was his last opportunity for a payday so fairplay.
Why did dimentrenko pull out? that was a decent fight.
