W.Klistchko vs Tony Thompson is done....

[Spicoli]

Isnt Thompson just a couple of inches shorter than Wlad?For what ever reason when I saw this, Wlad's fight with "touch of sleep" Williamson flashed through my head.Might get interseting with Similiar height,Thompson is a very hungry dude right now but will be in deep.

I'm surprised this came off.

I like Thompson but I'm not sure he could stand the offensive attack (if there is one) of Wladimir. Thompson isn't a real assertive guy and I think that's what it's going to take to beat Wlad and for Thompson to be comfortable he has to lay back at range and that's never good versus Wlad. Also keep in mind that Thompson is a southpaw, his defense isn't bad, he's a cagey guy who blocks a lot of punches but the southpaw's biggest enemies are the left hook and right hand. Those just happen to be Wlad's best punches.

However, if Thompson is able to move forward and comes with an attack of his own, then Wlad isn't going to be able to beat him by just playing paddy cake. For that reason alone, I'm glad this is happening.

Well I am obviously happy Wlad is going to be fighting so soon and fighting Thompson instead of Povetkin.


Tony Thompson has only lost once (decision to Eric Kirkland in his 5th fight), I don't believe he's been knocked down, he's a very tall lanky southpaw, BUT his level of competition has been Shannon Briggs-esque and he doesn't have 1 punch power, his stoppage of Krasniqi was more Luan running out of gas than Tony blasting him with power punches.


I think Thompson will prove easier to hit and Wladimir should close the show in style with this fight.

Wlad is a joke, he's fighting Thompson as he's "Nervous" about fighting Haye and needs a warmup, it's over at boxingscene. Wlad knows the Hayemaker will knock him out.

Come one Lefty....Thompson is his mandatory and deserves a shot. He's a quality fighter who has the potential to give Wlad plenty of trouble. Haye has yet to prove himself at HW and he need to fight a Brock or a Rahman type guy before he jumps in with Wlad. Wlad will fight both Povetkin and the Chagaev/Valuev winner before he gives Haye his chance, and he's right to do so. Haye is really about 4th on the list. Be patient. Haye will get his chance.

...if you want to see Haye knocked out again, then rewatch his fight vs Carl Thompson

RozzySean and Lyle calm down haha i only said that as it would wind you up Lyle haha as your a big Wlad fan, relax bro I'm JK wit you both. Wlad ain't ducking Haye, he'll fight him later this year or early next year and although I believe Haye will win I would not be surprised one bit if Wlad won. I'll hit you both with some rep

[El Kabong]

David Haye has potential but let's see him fight some more true heavyweights that are more dangerous than Bonin.

Dominick Guinn would be a good starting point....if Haye can KO Guinn then he's in business as a top power puncher in the division IMO.

I just saw this post....

Oh! Well I already Bad Repped you, that should teach you to joke around like that. I'll think about sending some Good Rep. to cancel out the Bad Rep. as I didn't find your joke funny.

Real Madrids only 4 points up, we've lost our last 2 games...
Uniteds only 5 points up, and we've got Villa next....

(However the 3-0 win over the Pool was FAN-FUCKEN-TASTIC)

It's hard to tell, with all the hype around Haye now. He's the great UK hope Thanks for the rep.

Im with you Lee Haye knocks Wlad out and i will bet with anyone here if the fight happens. Wlad has never met anyone who is as quick and as powerful as Haye, the last opponent Wlad fought who i can compare with Haye's speed and power, is Corrie Sanders and look what happened there. I think Wlad is very overrated he was knocked down x3 times by slow plodding Peter ok Wlad did win the fight clearly, but honestly you think if Larry Holmes or Lennox Lewis fought Peter that Peter would come anywhere close to even knocking down either man ?? Peter is one dimensional, slow/plodding, Heavyweight. Even his chin and power are overrated never thought that much of Peter.

As for Wlad's other wins after his loss to Brewster, Chris Byrd now Byrd is decent fighter with good slick skills but it was a mismatch against Wlad, Byrd is 6'0 round about 213, and Wlad is round about 6'5/6'6 240+ pounds. Byrd hadn't looked in his previous two fights before the rematch with Wlad, and really and truly he had already dominated Byrd once before so what did it really prove beating him again ?? it was a mismatch in the first place. I give Wlad credit for beating Brock but Brock is only decent at best he is very mediocre, Ray Austin is garbage simple as. And the rematch with Brewster i give Wlad credit for taking the rematch but lets be honest Brewster was ring rusty and when the fight started he looked pathetic, he was supposed to be a challenger for a world title, and he looked like some average joe just pulled out of the crowd, disgraceful performance and any Heavyweight in the top 10 would of beaten that version of Brewster.

Last Sultan Ibragimov i give Wlad credit for taking the fight once again because he had to be made, but lets look at Sultan's history. He had a draw against Ray Austin for crying out loud, he beat Asmatic Shannon Briggs who can't even fight for more than 10 seconds of a round. Then Sultan even has problems with a 45 year old Evander Holyfield who's last good performance was against Lennox Lewis in there rematch back in 1999. Hell even a natural Super Middleweight James Toney beat a younger version of Evander Holyfield much more convincing than the so called "IBF" World Champion. And to make matters even worse Wlad fought like he was scared shitless against Sultan, he wouldn't throw the right hand and was just happy with winning one of the most boring Heavyweight title fights in history of Heavyweight division. And what makes me laugh is that Wlad is much bigger than Sultan but yet he wouldn't impose his size or will on him.

Final comments i really believe Wlad is overrated, yes he has good skills but if he was in the 90's or 70's. He wouldn't even be in the top 10 IMO.
