Thompson imo didn't look impressive either, it was more that Krasniqi was never that good and is now totally shot anyway. I see a good number of guys beating Thompson but he deserves to be considered as a legit Top 20 fighter right now.
I've never stated that, I even told you he gets starched against any punching top 10, but I do respect that he's a hard working guy despite his limitations and certainly makes the most. While Guinn, Ibrag and Krasniqi are no all star triplet, for a limited guy like Thompson, it isn't too bad either.
Oh, well. I thought Kras would have won it, but. Thompson is a pretty decent fighter, but from the couple of fights that I saw, he don't seem to have what it takes to enter the upper tier of heavies, in my opinion. I don't think he'll get very high, once he starts fighting fighters like Brock, or Liak, much less the very top of the divsion like Wlad, Chag or Sultan. But maybe he's improved. Good win for Thompson.
No guy, I didn't say YOU said that, I said that's what I did. I thought Guinn and Timor were better, and I thought Krasniqi had more left. And certainly Thompson, whatever his limitations, deserves credit for taking advantage of that. Oh, and I'd pick Thompson to beat Ray Austin!!
