One of my favorite KOs ever, for a Heavyweight. The speed, the accuracy, amazing.

Alex/Thompson is so classic.  Alex looks like he is waiting for a bus, Thompson looks like he wants to tear him limb from limb.

I cant help but think that Aleks was a lot more talented than what he showed, oh well he had a good career and provided some very memorable fights

I remember Fedor saying something about Aleks not training with his team but wanting to train on his own. I think he worked to hard to make his own path, which is admirable, but it ultimately meant he didn't live up to his potential.
