Bradley Pryce shocked

Bradley Pryce slumped to a wide points defeat to Zimbabwe's Farai Musiiwa last night in Cardiff. This was actually a tough comeback fight for the lanky Welsh propsect, who has been out for some time serving a suspension.
We shouldn't judge him on one fight.

Price has never really had it easy through his short career, his fight with Gavin Down was a real up and downer and he took a bit of a beating for the last few rounds against Neil Sinclair. I agree that this loss is not the end of the world but Pryce maybe needs a few easier fights to ease his way back into the flow after his suspension.

Pryce was rubbish last night

Spotted the result, hence you can see his fall in the rankings.

pryce has some talent there but just seems to have filled out and gone thru the weights too soon and can't cope with the bigger guys cos he does have a small frame.

Still think Pryce can beat either Vincent or Barnes though.

Opinion is divided on Pryce beating Jimmy Vincent. Pryce loves a war and that will suit Jimmy.

How did Macklin and Lockett look, Chris?

Lockett was good, he looked a fresh and different fighter, wasnt going in there all guns blazing and took his time, and caught him with a good punch

Suprised with Maklin result, Billy graham is his trainer now, Cant really say if hes improved, but he did the job on the night

Cheers. Good wins for both men.

Missed the Price fight but saw him in the bar afterwards and he looked like he had been in a fight alright. I didn't realise that he had lost though!

Macklin looked sharp and dangerous for the short time his fight lasted. The straight right to the body which dropped Walker for the full count was perfectly timed. A good win to get back on track with.

I was also glad to see Macklin and Lockett get good KO wins, that pair could provide for some exciting domestic nights in the future.

Great for Lockett to score an early KO having looked devoid of any 'fire' during his last couple of outings and great for Macklin after the Facey defeat.

not surprised by this result after seeing Farai Musiiwa in with Kotei, Erik Teymour and Wayne Elcock recently I knew this would be a very hard fight.
bad match making in my opinion.

Musiiwa has to decide if he can do light middle comfortably or not. If he can he is a danger to anyone in the UK!!

I saw Musiiwa fight against Elcock, He's a strong lad, and know mug, it said after he got the result Nobby Nobbs was running roung the ring, it's one of the only results he's had on a sports network show!, The matchmaking seems to have gone a bit to shit in the last 6 months or so ( or since Ernie Fossey Passed away RIP, when your in the frame with certain people they seem to get easier fights.

yeah Pryce, Alexander both had hard matches after a long time out.

According to allegedly's website, Nobby had promised to do a lap of honour if one of his fighters got a verdict on a Sports Network show.
