It was not easy to pick Thomson to win, considering both of their hostories, but I’ve always been impressed with Thomson’s performances, and I’m never impressed with Melendez, even though he wins.
I hope Melendez does not get an immediate rematch, and further I
would like to see him move down to 45 and get beat by Pulver (who I think might be pound for pound #1).
