Wladdy vs. Thompson - Talk and Free For All!!! Pics & vids.

Im glad wladdy got the k'oed even though it seem like thomspon just wanted out of the fight. I don't think a real punch landed, thomspon just wanted to quit. I like wladdy but it seem like my hope of him being a great exciting heavyweight unified champion, ain't gonna happen.

Lets face it guys, the heavyweight division totally suck!

No, a punch definitely landed.

I just found out the punchstats. Can't believe Thompson landed more, those things are so misleading at times.

lies, damn lies and statistics.

I was totally frustrated with Thompson lack of movement inside the square ring.He seemed to lose heart as the rounds drew longer.I thought he was supposed to be hungry for the challengehe even seemed to dive to the floor as he got caught breifley with a right hand...as if he just could'nt be arsed.Shame really!!!!!

I took an imediate dislike to Thompson as he looked like a short haired Audley Harrison. Wlads jab n grab tactics didnt impress me much, Im being kind calling it a jab too.

Wlad Haye? Well Wlads obviously the favourite and I'd hand on heart say that he would do nothing for a while but try and fend off, grab, whatever until Haye had shot his bolt and then it would be as many right hands as HAye could manage before falling. Will be great to watch though.

Thompson completely bottled it when he realised he couldnt compete, falling over, pretending to twist an ankle, Im sure he was crying at times.

Wlad did what he did and props to him for that, I wasnt impressed though, this was supposed to be the worlds best heavyweight.

Performance of the night came from the referee in the Banks Rossito fight, he was very good.

Enzo would probably beat Banks.

Uhhhhghhh, After the 4th round I shut the fight off and waited for it to be over so I could fast forward throught the corner talks... It was round after round of Wlad sticking his left glove out straight and winding it in a circular pattern, parrying jabs and holding and Thompson throwing punches from awkward angles(which would have worked in his favor had he had ANY POP) and doing virtually no damage the whole fight... even the KO was just kinda like whatever... I felt like Thompson had pretty much given up anyway. I am so frustrated with the HW div.

I had a few people over my house cuz we had all gone out to dinner together... My friends Sean, Travis and I were watching the fight and the girls we were with all fell asleep.

The HW div is all but disgraceful.

I don't want to even fuckin hear it, Lyle... The fight was garbage and although Wlad is the most dominant HW, being a king among bums still makes you a bum. I wish Lenox Lewis would come out of retirement, age, ringrust and all and fuck this bum up!

Wlad used to be an exciting fighter that I could get behind.

I don't thik we'll have a dominant HW other then him for a while. If I ever hear Wlad's name among the greats I'll throw up all over myself.

Prepare yourself because he will be up there....no one will want to admit it but he's a very good fighter sure he doesn't do what Louis, Marciano, Tyson, and Foreman do but he still KO's guys none the less. He's got a better KO percentage than TYSON...he has more wins than TYSON.


Put Wladimir in with some decent all-time heavyweight competition that gave past greats their tough times and Wlad still wins....for argument's sake we'll conceed Wlad loses to the top greats and we'll just focus on who those guys beat to make them great: Ken Norton, Ron Lyle, Frank Bruno, Tim Witherspoon, Michael Moorer, Earnie Shavers, Trevor Berbick, Michael Spinks, Renoldo Snipes, Michael Dokes, Jimmy Ellis, Earnie Terrell.


Sorry but Wlad beats all those dudes....maybe you give Shavers a puncher's chance but #1 he's a righty and #2 he's TINY.


For Wlad to be a great he needs to unify and defend the titles a couple times and he's going to need some actual rivals, so far it's just Sam Peter and he disposed of him pretty easy.....David Haye, Odlainer Solis, and Alexander Povetkin should be good names for his record.
