Garbage scoring, sure Thompson scored the knockdown in the opening round, he did way too much running to win , it was all one pot shot at a time offense.
Man, Thompson has a frustrating style. No shame in that loss by uzcategui.
LMAO, this journeyman just shat all over the overrated Caleb plant’s best win.
Thompson looked good with that movement. True display of hit and not get hit style. Showing supreme athleticism. Look forward to seeing him again.
