There are easier fights to make money on this weekend. -take gatti over gomez -take jirov over that bum
If Thompson actually wins this one, he'll probably get a fight against a top ten guy, and just about any one of them'd beat him. But like I said, unless he's as washed up as you say Luan's gonna get the nod. We'll see.
Well, not starching Brian Minto is as bad as it gets my man! Even losing four clear rounds to him because he didn't even throw punches. Thompson doesn't just lose to any top 10, he gets starched badly. SAVE for Rahman, whom many rank in the top 10, Rahman gets starched by Thompson easily.
Gatti's almost totally braindead mate, I don't see him beating a pressure fighter as big as Gomez, even though Gomez is a FNF fighter at best... Baldomir was equally as shitty, only Gomez has beaten two MW's, even if those two MW's weren't that good either. Gatti's looked like **** for years, struggling with a glorified tomato can in Daamgard, getting pulverised by Baldomir and now a year later(and a bit more punch drunk), he's fighting a big guy who has been able to take the punches of Jesse Brinkley(a hard puncher at MW) and also stop several durable WW's.... He definitley hits harder than Bumdomir does. This is even more of a gamble in my opinion and the only way I see Gatti winning is by a gift decision, the guys roasted.
I think that Krasniqi will be in much better shape than he was against Minto, so I say he'll KO Thompson.
Krasniqi by decision. Sometimes Krasniqi doesnt show up to fight, other times he looks like a million dollars.I think Krasniqi shows up and gives and his best career performance. Krasniqi has a great amount of talent , but sometimes he just goes through the motions. He can hurt Brewster , there is no reason for some of these guys like Minto , Bostice to hang around to the distance. It is frustating that Luan wont let his hands go ,he has the skill to easily beat many of fighters on his record decisively , but Luan many times he will do just enough to win.
Any live webcast's for this fight on the internet its not on any US channels So if anyone knows were online i could watch Fight and pass along the info ,cause this is going to be a real nice matchup of two guys that have to do it now or never Thompson is 35 and Krasniqi is 36 ,I bet thieir going to give it every thing they have to get the shot at the title
This seems to be a pretty even up type of bout but I'm not sure how entertaining it will be. I like Thompson's style to be too much for Krasniqi. I think he stays on the outside and boxes his way to a 7-5 or 8-4 type of decision. Does he get the nod even if he deserves it? Hard to tell but a legitimate Krasniqi win wouldn't be a shock though. Still I'd take Thompson by decision.
