Is it fair to say it was as exciting as any of Wlad last title defenses Scott did what he does best, he beat 39/41 & this win puts him back for a title shot. Why should he retire when he just earned a title shot?
I picked Scott, I remember Thompson's awful performance against the Cuban plus he probably isn't on the roids now after being caught. Didn't see the fight, don't intend watching.
I thought Scott would take it as well but the fight was awful don't waste your time watching. Real bad.
10 rounder helped out Scuba, not sure why Thompson signed for 10. Had him floored heavily late but not enough time to capitalise.
Thompson has been a durable contender but his time at the top as a gatekeeper is up. As for Malik, well who gives a ****? He'll be fixing a fight near you soon.
I am NOT going to go outta my way to watch this one (nor does having missed it live bother me too much :tired), but were the scores about fair?
Yup, thought anything from 98-91 to 96-93 was fair. The 95-94 was a bit generous to Tony. I had it 96-93
Think this fight also showed how out of shape Solis was. Thompson was essentially the same shape against him and managed to outwork him
96-93 was fair, so was 95-94.. Honestly a lot closer than some are suggesting. Especially with the knockdown in the 9th. I score 2 rounds for Thompson apart from that.... Remember it was a 10 round fight not a 12 rounder.
