he put his wife in the wheelchair after smashing priceys chin. Lets look at this guys resume: Price - undefeated, smashing everyone, hyped to overtake klitchko. knocked out twice by Tiger. Klitchko - 10year super champion, he lost twice by ko, he gave wlad some problems, but he was old and didnt have the stamina, nor really the killer instinct. Pulev - Rated top 5 hw before the klitchko killing, strong jabber, well schooled, top amateur. not finished as a fighter yet. Tony won atleast 4 rounds Carlos Takam - Top 10 fighter, strong and high output, he bought the pressure to tony and that was enough, tony was never hurt though. Odlanier Solis - Once touted as a huge prospect, fast skillful powerful but ate his career and turned into a blob. Thompson beat his ass twice. Malik Scott - Fast, clever fighter - top 10 american heavyweight, thompson is old and slower now, scott outboxed him for the decision but was knocked on his ass and almost stopped. And now hes set to take on Luis The real King Kong Ortiz. :shock: Who is a beast, a top 5 hw, the hardest punching hw around, and well skilled, all the punches in the ****nal. Thats one hell of a resume for a guy who started fighting the big leagues well into his 30's. Big respect for for Tony the Tiger, one mark on his career was the PEDs. atsch
Ortiz is overrated. Tony Thompson says he is younger than Ortiz The oldest 35-year old he has ever seen.
ortiz has been in the game for years though, took some thrashings and hard fights. He's 44 and old. Ortiz is 48 and fresh.
I like Thompson for the interviews alone! But yes, considering the guy took up the sport in his late 20s, its pretty astonishing the resume he has
What PED? He never used any PEDS It was high blood pressure PILLS atsch. They confirmed it already. He disclosed it before the fight, prescription drugs (legal by his physician). When contacted yesterday he said: “I did fail a drugs test but everybody knows what I failed it for – high blood pressure medicine. “How could it be wrongdoing? I’m taking it for what the doctor prescribed it for. I have high blood pressure, I have for the last 15 years.”
Respect to Tony by taking on another good Heavyweight. :bowdown He has fought and beat better competition then other top HW.
I think the only thing he is scared of is the level playing field. That's why he got juiced to the gills before the Price and Pulev fights. Obvs Ortiz is no stranger to this himself so hopefully they both end each other's careers and we have 2 less disgraces in the sport.
He didn't disclose it. That was the issue, then when he got banned by the BBBoC, he did THE EXACT SAME THING a month later v Pulev. This is not the behavior of an innocent man. This the the behavior of a PED cheat.
You believe everything a fighter says? You think PAC is dirty but he says he clean. Why don't you believe him?
Tiger just came along at the wrong time- I'd have pegged a younger version to beat all 4 heavyweights fighting for a piece of the title a few weeks back. I'm still interested in Ortiz-Thompson, but I'd love to have seen what a fresher version was capable of vs King Kong.
I heard he did disclose it b4. That's what I read. And even if he didn't, it's something he did for 15 years. There's a reason why he's not banned or it was not stripped or became a N/C. :deal The man is completely innocent!!!
