Predictions: W. Klitschko v. Thompson

The Franchise says...

I'll admit it: I haven't been too great with predictions recently. Carlos Quintana over Paul Williams in their rematch? Not so much. Vernon Forrest too much for Sergio Mora? Um, no. Kermit Cintron to get revenge against Antonio Margarito? Not quite.

So even though Saturday's heavyweight title fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson seems like a fairly easy one to call, I'm enlisting some help. As a matter of fact, I've consulted three well-known mystics to get some extra insight.











Doc says...

My magicks have allowed me to walk myriad plains of existence unknown to most mortals. I have seen unimaginable sights and encountered countless beings. And still, I've met none who think Tony Thompson will win this fight!












The Dead Guy says...

I've been talking to a lot of deceased boxers and fight fans floating around in the afterlife. No one seems real happy about the way Klitschko handled himself in his last fight, but they all agree that he should take care of Thompson fairly easily.












The Vengeful Spirit says...

If Klitschko does not knock Thompson out, he will face the full wrath of a higher power!

Because, well, I have a lot of money on this fight...


It's hard to argue with expertise like that. On the advice of my panel of experts, I'm going with Klitschko to win by mid- or late-round KO.

Well, he hopes Thompson makes it interesting, but he hasn't been interested in a Wladimir fight in years now and isn't interested much in this one either. So, he'll pick Steelhammer by sleepy decision as he follows the action on the 2005 Sanyo.
