Wladimir Klitschko-Tony Thompson

[El Kabong]

The situations Thompson put himself in vs Luan are situations Wlad would get a KO out of....sqaring up, getting turned into the ropes, keeping his guard low and also far apart....Luan connected with some decent shots but Luan doesn't have Wlad's power and when Wlad lands it's going to be a lot different than anything Tony has ever seen before

Sure. Wlad will catch him doing something like that at some point, but I don't see him doing it that early. Also, Tony didn't really fight Luan as defense oriented as he can be. He had taken a lot of flack for not taking chances and not going for the KO. Thompson was trying to send a message in the Krasniqui fight and KO'd him in 5. I think he knew he could takes some changes against him. I don't think he will do the same against Wlad.

Wlad has become such a patient fighter and I think Thompson is smart enough not to do anything stupid early. All credit to Wlad if he pulls it off in the first 3. If he does that, he's putting everybody on notice.

Personally I couldn't care less of the result, i'm just happy it's being shown on free to air tv here in Aus. Channel 10 at 6am EST, plus in probable HD it is a first for Australia hopefully it continues
