    Just looked at the weight-in pics. Both guys seem in very good shape and mentaly ready for the fight.

    I hope TT wins because I have money on him, but if you think a long amateur career is the same as an 8 year age difference and some KO losses, hats off to you. If you've watched the last three fights of both fighters, I'll bet you that you've seen one of them get gassed more often.

    If Thompson is somehow able to pull this off, he'll be getting the largest stepaside check in history.

    Look for it to be in the 6 figure range, maybe even 250K.:think

    This a tough pick :think I became a fan of Thompson after he whupped Price twice :bbb Very crafty in those fights. Relaxed. Picked himself up off the canvas and got the KO. Great stuff :good

    I picked "Evenly Matched" but giving the edge to the long toothed Tiger :hat

    Pulev has the talent but Thompson is a vet, I'm thinking a close UD or SD for Pulev based on the great condition Thompson looks to be in Pulev has looked better, he looks a little flabby and Thompson has not looked so good in a while.....never know a KO could occur either way but Pulev usually does not push unless he hurts you with his left jab/hook/cross

    shame on Pulev if he is in poor shape
