Its a good fight for a number of reasons. I'm happy Tony is getting big fights like this, he deserves them after years of being avoided like the plague. This is a very smart fight for Pulev as it will prepare him for a fighter who works with range, has a good defense, a solid jab, and uses his size effectively. If Pulev has a decent chin he should be perfectly prepared for Wladimir should he win this fight.

A trilogy with Thompson is unnecessary and I doubt Thompson even truly wants that, but it would be interesting it would be the first time Wlad has ever fought someone 3 times and in 100% of his rematches he has scored stoppages and done better than before, so a 3rd fight...could we expect a more dominant performance?

Wlad vs Pulev.....interesting bout, nobody knows or cares much for Pulev in the states yet, but I'm certain in Russia it will be a huge fight.

I think Pulev wins UD, 8 rounds to 2 I'll guess.
