Schwerin, Germany - In an IBF final eliminator, Tony Thompson (38-4, 26KOs) was coming off back to back knockout victories over highly regarded David Price, but his momentum wasn't enought to overcome the talented up and comer Kubrat Pulev (18-0, 9KOs). The scores were 116-112, 118-110 and 117-111 for Pulev. The Bulgarian heavyweight is now in line for the winner of October's title fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin.

Price's trainer picks Kubrat Pulev over Tony Thompson
Once again BoxNation, the Channel of Champions, delivers genuine world class action live to its subscribers from Schwerin, Germany this weekend with the heavyweight collision between unbeaten former European champion Kubrat Pulev of Bulgaria and veteran Washington DC dangerman Tony Thompson. The 12 round showdown is effectively a final eliminator for the IBF title currently in the custody of Wladimir Klitschko. Mandatory challenger Pulev, 32, a former medallist at both the European and World amateur championships and now victorious in 17 straight as a pro, enters as a 4-1 on betting favourite. However, he will be acutely aware of the carnage that the 41 year old Yankee southpaw can wreak. The fourth ranked 'Tiger' is fresh off a brace of conclusive stoppage wins against reigning British and Commonwealth king David Price – both times whilst operating out of the away corner.
