    I was wrong about Ali. Thought he could be a player at 147. Guess not. He has a Khan-like chin.

    Any credit to Vargas? Both of you didn't give him a chance in hell in this fight.

    Good win for Vargas but he didn't look especially good. It seemed more about Ali not panning out as a contender than Vargas emerging as one. But he deserves a name opponent next.

    I never would have guessed that in 2016, Tony Thompson would fight on a main event on HBO. HBO really sucks right now :(

    I didnt give him a chance? Not true, I just said he sucks. I never hyped ali either so to me it was a shitty match up. 1 I will probably never watch

    On Paper, Vargas and Ali Seemed EVENLY Matched...In the Ring, they WEREN'T...

    HBO Should Be a Ashamed of Putting Tony Thompson in the Ring w/Ortiz and they're VERY Lucky he Wasn't BADLY Hurt In There...Thompson is a Flabby, Middle Aged Man and Had LESS than a 0% Chance of Beating Luis Ortiz...1 of the Bigger Main Event MISMATCHES They've Ever Broadcast...

    That's what they thought when they matched him up with David Price and he ended up knocking Price TFO TWICE!

    Yeah, but Ortiz is like 4 times more proven than Price was. So it's a pretty irrevelant comparaison.

    plust it's been years ago, meaning Thompson is even more washed up

    At the time, Price was a prospect and was heavily favored. Price had beaten Fury at the British Olympic trials and it wasn't a close fight. He wasn't suppose to trouble Price at all.

    Plus I wasn't really making a direct comparison to this fight. That was a while back.
