I think you're underestimating Thompson a bit Lyle. He doesn't have one weapon that really makes you go wow, but he is about as solid of a guy as there is in the heavyweight division. Can fight inside too which could make the ref a big factor. I know Wlad is the best in the division but the likes of Tony Thompson, he's a guy who's been around forever, has a great trainer in Barry Hunter, he's going to be game that's for sure and I really doubt he's scared of Wlad like every other opponent of his bar Peter has been the past few years.
