Rupp used his size well to prevent Thornton from really landing anything, while looking to land a few of his own.

Draw IMO. Nice scrap but I didn't see a ton actually landing from either player -- maybe one shot each. Thornton definitely does better than in his last fight against Rupp.

Looks like they both landed square at the :20/:53 second mark. Decent scrap.

Win Rupp because of his height and reach. If Rupp is Thorton size it would be a draw in a great bout

Good fight, I don't like to give slight edges if I did I would go with Rupp. That being said solid draw.

Rupp has improved a ton and is learning to use his reach really well

No clear winner. Draw or slight edge to Rupp like others have said.
