Think people are down on this card because the card ended boring so it was they’re lasting impressions, but as a whole it was a good card

I was surprisingly not mad watching shavkat's boring first round because in the end he managed to do what nobody else managed to do and sub wonderboy. If he went to his first ever Dec win after a boring fight because he refused to strike with wonderboy then the story would be different.

If someone like Holland can have such success in the grappling realm everyone who is ranked can tilt the fight in their favor vs 41 yo Thompson, even if it's just by clinching. It's just father time catching up.
I think the only way to ensure what you're asking for is for Thompson to take a step down in competition and fight unranked people with less ability.

Boxing is a joke. It's been a joke. Since I found MMA I haven't watched one boxing fight from start to finish. It's just not fun anymore when it's just slow paced punching and nothing else.
Anyway, just stay off twitter and you will be so much happier and life will be much more positive.
