Chris Thompson W8 Georgiy Yunovidov...  South African heavyweight Chris Thompson picked up a career-best victory, upsetting Russia’s Georgiy Yunovidov in a competitive eight-round heavyweight bout on the "Thrilla In Manila 2"’ show commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the legendary Ali-Frazier III fight. A southpaw slugger, Thompson (17-6-1 including IBA pro fights) set a ferocious pace from the outset, landing a series of heavy blows to the head and body of Yunovidov (12-2 including IBA pro fights) en route to a comfortable points win. Yunovidov is the reigning WBA interim bridgerweight (224-pound) champion, so it remains to be seen how the WBA title pictureis affected by this result.
