Excellent British fighter.

I will always remember the supposed smartest fighter in Britain, Nicky Piper, putting up his unbeaten record, against the 6 hour notice sub, the then unknown Carl Thompson, in a catchweight contest (Piper was a Light Heavy).

The Result... Thompson TKO3!!!

That was 15 years ago, and 'The Cat' has been a fixture in the division ever since.

Thank you Carl Thompson, for giving us excellent value for money, and being one of the top 10 best Cruiserweights of the last decade.
