Can someone please paraphrase that ridiculously long article? I can't stand reading space filling BS. Anything important somewhere in there?

Wlad is my favorite fighter and has been for awhile
But i have also been talking up tony thompson as the best american heavyweight for almost 2 years now
I think Tony would easily defeat every other champ besides Klitschko. I want Tony to be a champ so i hope he gets another shot even if he if Ko'ed by Wlad. He has proven he will fight anyone anywhere... you can count the heavyweights with that mindset on 1 hand.

Look alive. This fight's coming under the radar. Thompson has size, chin, an awkward southpaw style, sharp offensive skills, and a 26-fight win streak.
This one has a massive potential to be an upset.
Wlad has looked unimpressive in his last two bouts.
He's become tentative and cautious. Happy to coast.
If the judging is fair, I pick Thompson by split or majority decision.
