It looks like he had a change of opponents, originally he was going to fight Jason Estrada on next weeks FNF and now he's scheduled to fight Owen Beck.
Anyone know what happened there? Did Estrada get injured or something?

Re: Tony Thompson...........
If something happened it hasn't hit the news yet. The Estada fight was sealed up so I have no idea what could have happened.

Re: Tony Thompson...........
So Estrada has "withdrawn for unknown reasons". Could be an illness or something. That's not like him so you know he must be injured or sick or something.

I went to the ESPN boxing board and posted this question, the only reply I got was "neither guy is a top 30 heavyweight"

Re: Tony Thompson...........
Well whoever posted that is a fucking moron. Tony Thompson is a VERY difficult fighter to beat and he simply hasn't gotten the chances vs top level guys because he's 6'6 250 and a southpaw that can box pretty well and has great defense.
I doubt Thompson has improved since the Wlad fight, but I'd favor him over a lot of guys. I think guys like Povetkin and Boytsov and hell anyone not named Klitschko would have trouble with him. He's only lost twice and only been stopped once (by Wlad in 10 rounds!).
Here's a fun fact, TT fought Adnan Serin before Ruiz fought him and Tony stopped him in 5 whereas Ruiz stopped him in 7.
Thompson is a good heavyweight, he's tough to beat. He was one of Wlad's tougher opponents in recent times

Re: Tony Thompson...........
Yeah he got injured. It's an ankle injury that requires surgery.

Re: Tony Thompson...........
Thanks for the link, man that sucks. I was really looking forward to seeing how their styles meshed, it had the potential to be a very good fight. Beck will at least be going for the KO so there are much worse choices they could have taken.Yeah he got injured. It's an ankle injury that requires surgery.
