I just remember Thompson being David Haye like in that fight. Not ever really trying to win.

That's Wlady, tie the guy up so he can't hit you back, he also fights cautious/timid, even against a sloth like Thompson, who couldn't crush a grape. Did you notice how tired Wlad looked in the later rounds of that video? Wlad suffers from gaso-phobia, that's a fear running out of gas and getting KTFO like he was in the 1st fight with Brewster.

Alright, alright, I like Wlad. He should be more assertive and repeat the ko but earlier. Tony has a -shot- but I think he too easily excepts his role and sits on the outside getting measured repeatedly.

The Swiss must be big boxing fans, haha, I figure they payed Wlad the most of any of the other venues.
This fight will start somewhere around 5:00 PM ET Saturday afternoon, don't go to the refrigerator. :rolleyes:

cheers bro

Just noticed the start time. Might actually miss it with a lobby full of late comers here. Bummer. I tried to envision Tony with a straight bomb or two to trouble Wlad but I just can't. He's a nice enough guy but just looks so frail. Think it'll be Wlads to dictate and decide. Cheers.

please add your RBR scores on this thread and i will add to my fightscorecollector blog (in the signature below).

Will it be repeat or revenge...personally i think it will be 1 way traffic with a Ko for Wlad around 8-9 rounds

Looks like this fight might start in the next 20-30 minutes, they had a camera in Thompson's dressing room and he was getting his gloves put on. I've got a German Stream but it's quality is good.

Wladimir's walking to the ring now.

Alright here we go, the Swiss/germans do like to put on a show. :)

Wtf is wlad doin???

Uneventful 1st round.

great camera work! love the deliberate toe stepping.

Wladimir's softening him up now. A few more rounds I reckon.

I missed Wlad's KD, at the end of the 2nd round, actually it didn't look like one.

This is Wlad hunting for a KO, knowing he should. Thompson better start sta king his life on that timed left hand.

Just a matter of time before Wlad puts Tony's lights out with a big right hand. I don't know why Wlad doesn't use his jab better, it would set up the right hand.

Down he goes...

His eyes literally crossed going down. They can just wave this one off anytime really.
