Reading from the posts, most people don't seem to be over impressed with Thompson's performance in beating Guinn, even though he was formerly touted as a true contender for th HW title.
My view is what this result actually says about Britain's own Audley Harrison, the man that most British fans have already disowned as overhyped and lacking in the grit and heart needed to win the big fights. Does anyone know where videos of American fights like this are available online, as then I could give much more informed opinions?
For Guinn to lose to Thompson, really shows that his previous fight, and 'the start of his comeback' against Harrison as just a false revival, and the Harrison can have no hope whatsoever of any sort of international ambitions. He can beat the guys who do fear him and don't come forward, but the amount of those boxers are getting less and less, and I have no doubt that he will now drift into obscurity. Sadly, I fear Guinn is facing that same path, somewhere beyond the sea.
