Wladimir Klitschko-Tony Thompson

[p4pking]

Yea he should get respect if he get's him out of there period. Thompson is a good fighter with some craft, and probably the best fighter Klitschko has fought that can match his size. A 6'5 cagey southpaw is not the opponent you'd expect Wlad to take after his stinker with a much smaller southpaw in Ibragimov, it does make me wonder if there is just some glaring stylistic flaw that Wlads camp saw in him? Still, I'm going to say he should get props for an impressive win of any sort.

Thompson doesn't have much power....he's crafty and he presses his fight on the opponent but Krasniqi is the best guy he has fought.


I think Wlad fighting a taller southpaw is a bonus...Sultan made the last fight boring because he was in a crouch waiting for a Wlad right cross to miss and Wlad wasn't about to give him that opening.

Tony is all heart and has come to this level against all odds but he's going to get his ass handed to him, when the biggest power puncher you've fought is Vaughn Bean and he's the ONLY fighter with over 20 KO's on his record and then you get thrown in with Wladimir Klitschko who has 44 legit KO's vs big time competition.....it's going to be a blood bath.


I think maybe Manny wants Wlad to learn to lead with the right cross more and Tony is certainly a guy you can do that against....he let Krasniqi hit him but Luan isn't a big power guy so Tony had better be prepared for sharp accurate power punches.
