    From what I understand Wlad is supposed to make a statement this time around because of the last fight so I don't think Thompson will make it to the 12th.

    I agree on the leaning part, but if you watch closely, Sultans was waiting for Wlad to throw the right so he could counter, instead Wlad threw very few rights and lucky for him, wasnt countered.

    I thought there were times in that fight Wlad looked uneasy and scared to an extent and when he had Iggy hurt that one time, showed no killer instincts to finish the job. He won the fight hands down, but it's doubtful he won over any new fans, he may of lost some after that lackluster performance.

    Yes, I live in NYC. When Wlad fights in the States, he fights in the tri-state area because his largest North American fan base is here, not in CA.

    Lots of Ukrainians in NY.

    Vlad will stop Thompson fairly early, but could go to mid rounds.

    If Brewster and Sanders are journeymen, what does that make Sam Peter? Journeymen do not hold world titles.

    I also think they both would beat Peter in their prime IMO.

    No, I don't think so. I think Thompson will fight bravely and go out swinging, but I expect it to be all over somewhere around the 6th or 7th.

    Neither guy wanted to "fight" and Wlad being 6'-7" shouldn't be a problem with extending himself.
