Just saw a dvd of the 4th world open, Thompson was on fire, his fights with Midori and Matsui were classics.I think he should have got the decision in the semis before the fight when into extensions, but give Matsui credit, he floored Thompson when he got his chance.Great fight!

I recommend his fight against Changpuek Kiatsongrit. Thompson nailed Kiatsongrit with a brutal spinning back kick.
