yeah its all ifs and buts and what ever has happened would have probably happened at some point anyway

but trying to defend the big man

had Thompson not have been on peds the first time the could he have landed that punch? would he have got up the second time?

had Teper not been a serious drug cheat, would that fight have even ever have happened?

and I know blaming the trainer is a bit lame, but I though coldwells advice was shocking at times on Saturday, and I was thinking this well before the 6th and 7th when it was clear he was gonna lose, was it a bad choice of trainer?
