Anthony Thompson vs. Ishmail Arvin
Under 9.5 (-120) (Sportsbook)
1.2 units
Prior to his lackluster showing against Yuri Foreman on the Miguel Cotto-Zab Judah undercard last year, Thompson had knocked out 4 of his last five opponents. That includes Robert Frazier and Mohammad Said, who were considered relatively tough customers at the time Thompson fought them. I'm not going to hold too much against Thompson for his poor performance against Foreman because Foreman's a fast, defensive boxer who makes all his opponents look bad. Meanwhile, at 33-years-old, Arvin is nearing the end of a disappointing career. He's just 0-1-2 in his last three fights, which looks really bad when the loss came to the crude David Toribio. Arvin's never been KO'd, but he's also never met anyone with Thompson's ability. I expect Thompson to get some work in early, but he should be able to start hurting Arvin enough in the mid-rounds for the fight to end before the final bell.
