Not a great match up for Tua. Thompson was good enough to win rounds and durable enough to not get stopped.
Tua had decent stamina, so it’s not like Thompson just has to get out of the first few rounds. Thompson was too slow of feet and hand, Tua would get inside and would work that body and land something over the top, most people need to have feet or a great defence to beat Tua, Thompson has work rate, but it won’t stop him getting chinned, a defence would, and I don’t think his defence is good enough to avoid Tua for 12 rounds, he may win for a bit, but he won’t be able to go without getting caught the whole fight.
Thompson. This is like the 4th poll in the last few months Tuas going to win over someone I think would beat him fairly easy. Yall love Tua lol. Foreman loved him too. So much so he thought he'd beat him in 2002. That was supposed to rhyme lol.
