Is Klitschko vs Thompson going to be worse than the Ibragimov fight?

Klitschko will be alot more aggressive against Thompson and throw
alot more righthands and combinations than he did against Sultan.
Sultan has very quick hands, underated power and is a quick, tricky
counterpuncher who specializes in positioning much bigger opponents
and then blasting them with quick countershots. He is also a very
skilled boxer with great amatuer credentials whom Wlad obviously
respected. Wlad wanted to prove he could outslick and outbox
a skilled boxer like Sultan and he did just that. Ali took great
pleasure in outboxing and outclassing his opponents most of his
career and he is worshipped. Wlad shuts down a co-world champ
like Sultan with basically his left jab and he is criticized by down-
syndrome types on E.S.B. Nevermind, he will brutalize the slow and
limited fighter Thompson and K.O. him probably with a big righthand
around the 5th. round. It will be a short and brutal fight that
Wlad will win in impressive fashion which few here will give him
credit for. Povetkin will fall next and then Wlad unifies yet another
world title.

 

I know, it's got to be better than Klitschko-Ibragimov!

Klitschko's going to win, of course. Thompson doesn't look to have the power needed and he's not going to win a points decision. Wlad's like Lennox in this respect, you gotta knock him out to beat him.

 

Thompson is slow and has very sloppy defence so there is a very good chance Wlad will brutalize him and clear him out inside of two rounds.
Thompson will be apprehensive once he realizes his jab is not sharp enough to give Klitschko problems, but he will never be able to stay out of Wlad's range. When forced to open up and defend himself he will be dropped hard. Thompson loops his punches, and they will never make it to Klitschko's chin.
We'll see more punches landed in Rd1 than we did in the entire Ibragimov fight.
But Thompson has nothing that will give Klitschko any bother.

 

I love Thompson's quote about writting a story thats never been written before, coming from the streets to be champ.

thats suck a great idea he should totally market that but his name needs to be spiced up a little bit I'm thinking like Rocky or something

infact if this moron plays he cards right he could get 5 movie deals out of this.


Anyway TT is going down hard and the more he talks the more it shows how scared he really is

 

dude wlad is 3-1 against top southpaws. i wouldnt call that struggling. lets hope thomspon attacks wlad like he says he will, then he will get ktfo guaranteed....unlike iggy, thompson is a BIG target and his guard will be split by the jab and left hook. wlad will throw 50-60 jabs per round just like he did with brewster. why? both are stationary fighters who dont like to backpedal.

thompson has no chance unless wlad gets hurt or is dq'ed. thompson has no top level experience and it will show. i predict this could be a ray autin type finish. once thomspon feels wlad's power, he will lie down. i saw thompson against iggy jr. and krasniqi. he's decent in a lot of areas but he lacks speed and power. the gap between the bottom top 10 hws and wlad is enormous.

 

I think after the criticism Klitschko received after the Ibragimov fight he will go for a KO. He could try too hard and gass out or get KOed just depends on how good Thompsons chin is.

 

Regarding Klitschko's loss to Sanders, it should be noted that
Sanders was a BIG puncher. I haven't seen Thompson fight
so I can't really make a qualified opinion about his chances
against Wlad.

Thompson seems to be a decent fighter, though this will be a
big step up for him. Thompson is also no youngster, so age
can be a factor here.

people bringing up the sanders blowout as a basis for dogging wlad need to understand he's a much more difficult fighter to beat now. the loss proves his chin isnt solid but it reveals he also had no concept of defense and mainting proper distance. this is the aspect of his game he has improved tremendously via footwork and intelligence which is blatantly ignored by the haters.

less exciting doesnt mean easier to beat. a man his size thowing 30 power shots per round is simply not sustainable...

 

Thompson will be taken out in grand fashion, early.

Wladimir is out to reestablish his KO machine aura, and to make everyone forget the Ibragimov performance. He did win against Ibrag, and he won decisively, but a mere decision win is not good enough, considering how high of standards he's held to, now. He is seen as being head and shoulders above everyone else, and he will be out to reaffirm that lofty status when he fights Thompson.

I think Wladimir will be more aggressive this time, as he probably feels he's got something to prove......And hence, Thompson will be taken out early. It'll be a highlight reel KO.

But if Wlad gets too aggressive and too eager for the KO, it may be him KOed.....LOL Steward will probably coach him to take him out, but at the same time, it'll balance of aggression and caution.

 

I think it'll b interesting. TT isn't that bad. Thompson is actually pretty good.

 

I´m betting on a KO win for Wlad. Thompson is not as fast as Iggy and more of a boxer than a slugger. I don´t think Wlad will be as careful with him. I also think Wlad could have KOed Iggy if he´d just risked it just a bit more, as he did knock Iggy´s ass on the ropes, even with his safety first attitude in the fight.

 

I'm giving Thompson alot better chance than Austin. Thompson is a hell of alot better, and he's a pretty big boy.

 

But he's slow and static.

I think Wlady is gonna blow him away early; he is (Ihope) looking to redeem the stinky Ig fight

 

I think Thompson looks to be slow and lacks real snap and power in his punches. He also don't fight as if he's 6 foot 5. He seems to be a B level fighter, overall.

But regardless of what I think of him (my opinion is meaningless) he does manage to somehow, win, and he did beat some good opponents recently, and has been on a long winning streak, so he certianly deserves to get his titleshot. I was suprised to see him beat Krasniqi. Gotta commend him for getting this far on so little.....LOL But, with the recent wins he has, they have not not only gotten him a shot at the WBO, but also the IBF, in one fight.

See how great unifcation can be? And just think how much will be on the line when a unfiied champion, who has all four titles, defends them....:good
