Thompson Stops Harris in Reno!

DC heavyweight Tony "The Tiger" Thompson scored an easy third-round TKO over Maurice Harris tonight in front of a nationally-televised ESPN2 audience at the Reno Events Center in Reno, NV.

Thompson dropped Harris twice in the second round before scoring a knockdown in the third. Referee Vic Drakulich eventually halted the bout at 1:51 of the third.

Thompson is now 36-2, 24 KO's. Harris falls to 24-15-2, 10 KO's. Thompson is now the number two ranked IBF contender and will face number one Eddie Chambers for a world title shot.

saw tony last fall in atlantic city, got a early workmanlike stoppage of a servicable opponent that nite too. lets hope his reach will be too much for chambers, if either of them deserves another shot at a klitchko its tony the tiger.

tony will whip chambers easily. i hope boxing politics doesnt keep him out of the shot with klitschko. which klitschko would he be fighting? i hope its wladimir again. i thought for sure tony would have whipped him that night. he just didn't fight very well. vitali is the tougher of the two. good luck tony!

Sam peter didn't deserve it either.
but nobody gets a second chance because they deserve it they get it because the powers to be know they are going to lose the rematch too.
Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it along with some but crack.

I wonder if Thompson will have to fight Arreola first? I know that's a fight that Thompson would want, I say Tony knocks him out!

Too bad Tony got dominated by Klitschko in their first fight. I never expected that. Wasn't Tony hurt or something going in to that fight?

Right now, I don't think Arreola is in the mix. I do agree that Thompson beats him.

Thompson did have a torn meniscus during the Klitschko fight.

congratulations to Tony Thompson, who I am training feverishly to face at the lanes in Marlow Heights!
