I don't know Thompson stays at a distance a lot, Wlad doesn't like to throw it from too far out. When he did against Austin, Austin was cowering on the ropes and was there to be taken. Against Thompson I think the opportunities will come more in the form of the right hand. Wlad does hook off the jab well though so maybe that's a possibility if Thompson tries to slip the jab and close distance. But if he wants the KO my guess is it is going to be from the right hand. I also think he needs that punch to win, don't think the left hand alone will win him this.
