    106-103 Pulev after 11

    TT did a good job the early rounds but now Pulev is in control for 6 or 7 rounds.

    TT definitely needs a KO.

    No but come on man Pulev has no chance of even beating a Haye or even a Povetkin.

    Thompson is old. Above 40 years, but has a great chin and still can go the distance with Pulev.

    He does. His adjustment to the southpaw stance has actually been pretty impressive. Tony's not an easy guy to fight by any stretch.

    I guess Pulev will get his payday with Wlad but he has no chance of winning.

    And so Thompson's BHop run now comes to a close.

    Round 12

    Thompson is caught with a short overhand right while stepping in with a shake-it-all-about hokey-pokey right jab. Pulev takes command, disabusing Thompson of any notion he might be the aggressor down the stretch here. Pulev rolls one fist over the other down by his waist, then jabs up at Thompson. High right jab flicked by Thompson while drifting to his right. Jabs and 1-2s placed accurately but lightly on the face of Thompson by Pulev from a half meter out. Light body shot by Pulev. Thompson leans back and rolls under a Pulev right, grazing his forehead. Thompson tries to slip in past a 1-2 and place a right hook but Pulev ducks away, returning quickly with another 1-2 to chase Thompson out. Right hand by Pulev. Thompson holds. Pulev walks Thompson to the ropes and drops his hands, shimmying side to side to bait Thompson. Instead of attacking Thompson runs past him with a defensive right jab covering him.

    10-9 Pulev

    116-112 Pulev

    weird fight. This was ESPN level **** though... Thompson looked old from about the 4th round on.. and Pulev showed no variety in punches.

    I'm not too sure about those two fights... he can't beat a Klischko though, but we knew that already

    No chance against a Klitschko, but Thompson is a decent fighter so credit.

    Last round was close, I gave it to Pulev. 115-114 to Pulev for me.
