I expect an easy victory for Klitschko as continues he on his goal to unite the heavyweight division.
It's strange that Wlad is picked by 90% to win this fight when I hear how many faults he has from those on this board..
Wlad TKO 8 I think Thompson's height and range will keep him in the fight for a little bit but he will ultimately fall.
Thompson stands eye to eye with Wlad. This means nice straight punches for Wladimir and a chance to also throw body punches and uppercuts. I expect this to be a punishing fight for Thompson who will quit on his stool around round 7.
That's about right. Thompson is nothing special, a slightly better version of Ray Austin: old and mediocre. He will gone early.
I watched some fights of Thompson and he looked flat footed and slow. I did like his body punching but that was against fighters smaller and not as skilled as Klitschko. I will be shocked if it goes 6 full rounds. I think we will see the usual 2 rounds of jabbing from Wlad then he will open up and bomb Thompson out.
Wladimir by TKO, I think Thompson is tailor-made for him...yes he's a southpaw, but much more of a come-forward battler, and an accumulative puncher rather than a heavy one. I think it's a style that Wlad should be able to look a million bucks against, and Tony had earned his #1 position as well, so really it makes a lot of sense for both parties. I call Wlad TKO5.
Thompson's range, jab and southpaw stance will get into into the mid rounds but Klitschko will eventually land. Wlad TKO 6.
Then they'll go out for dinner again. Didn't that seem unusual, going out for a nice fancy dinner after comitting to bash eachother's brains in?
I never seen Tony Thompson fight, but judging by the preview of the fight they been showing, Klit is going to KO him
