Well Done Thompson - Joy to Watch

Thompson just another hyped up Brit fighter whom the fans bought into.Perhaps this shellacking will bring them back down to earth and realize they have very few world class fighters in the UK.

 

He just took Price's punches? Was he not knocked down in the 2nd round? Didn't Price hurt him early in the 3rd? Dont try to pass it off as something its not. Thompson did a great job coming back from a knockdown to pressure Price, get on top and force the stoppage but he was hurt bad early on. I take nothing away from Thompson and his victory but Price should never have come immediately back for a rematch, he wasn't ready for it mentally or physically and Thompson took advantage of that to come behind for the win.

 

Pleased that Thompson proved the first fight wasn't a fluke. If Price works at it he can still have a decent career but it was a mistake to rematch TT and his team are to blame for that...

 

it was a very enjoyable fight - very exciting, and excellent comeback

 

he should remember two things next time:

1) big guys like Price gas much more quickly, particularly if they throw too many punches, Price should rewatch Wlad-Brewster I

2) he should of used his reach and jab to his advantage. He didn't and allowed TT to whack him to the body far too much, which also contributed to his gassing so early in the fight

 

Let Tyson Fury or David Haye Smash that Soft as **** yank to bits, He called out Tyson Fury but not David Haye because he knows David Haye will smash his head in, But i hope he does fight Tyson Fury beacause Thompson will get blasted out in the first couple of rounds.

 

Wilder refused to fight Thompson. Thompson is, by far, the best American heavyweight. He has been underrated because Vlad knocked him out two times, but Wilder won't go near him.................

 

My interpretation of the term "just took all his punches" is that the fighter in question was able to endure all his opponents punches without noticably being hurt - like Marvin Hagler could.

That was not the case with Thompson. He was clearly hurt by Price, he admits Price is a big puncher with a lot of power and he was apprehensive heading into the fight, but in the face of that apprehension he was even more determined than he would have been otherwise.

Thompson's mental strenght pulled him through a rough patch when other fighters of lesser strenght would have folded, whereas Price's mental weakness saw him fold instead of holding out.

 

Rumour has it Tony Thompson suffered some serious damage last weekend. Not from Price, it was when Tony got home and Mrs Thompson tackled him about the saucy comments he made about her in the post fight interview.

Did sound as though Tony had a "tiger in the tank" though. :rofl

 

I don't understand why people keep saying he should of used his jab, if he used his jab from the off I think he would of been knackered by the second round.. It's pretty obvious his just not that good.

 

He's a good fighter he deserved to win. Funny ****er in his interviews too!
