Siarhei Rabchenka, is very decent. Strong pressure boxer.
I saw his fight against Martin Concepcion, and he just walked through him in the 2nd round. Mind you Concepcion wasn't the fighter he once was.

Bradley will need to get into his stride early on, and not let Rabchenka dictate the pace of the fight, I remember Bradley beating Sergey Stepkin, who was also an unbeaten from Eastern Europe. Of course that was in 2004, so alot of water has passed under the bridge. But it can happen again.

I havnt seen Rabchenka,but i wouldnt read to much into the Conception win as most would walk straight thru him at this stage of his career...

You can get big odds on Pryce.......do anyone know if Rabchenka is any good?

Coco · Post by **Coco** » 20 May 2011, 04:09

Pryce is in proper shape

BillyTKid · Post by **BillyTKid** » 20 May 2011, 04:27

If I remember I think you can get about 3/1

Siarhei Rabchenko isn't a spectacular fighter, he carries a high KO rate, and seems to be one of those boxers that just keeps strong punches coming, not a one punch KO guy though.

Because of that , his opponent has to be in very good shape to outbox him and keep up with the pressure coming from Rabchenko. If Coco is right then Pryce is in good shape, and he has the skills to beat someone like Rabchenko. 12 rounds is a long fight to keep the Belarusian off though.

I remember when Pryce beat 18-0 Ivan Kirpa as well. That's Kirpa's only loss to date and in his last fight he won a WBC elimiinator against Rodriguez (beaten by Berto for the WBC title). Pryce hasn't half had it hard in his career. I'll be having a cheeky go on the 3-1!

On eurosport 2 now guys. gave pryce the first round and marginally the second although commentators have give them against him. maybe i'm watching a different fight

Rabchenko gets the 3rd comfortably

Rabchenko's defence is shocking, if Pryce kept him behind the jab and brought the right across he'd win it he's just playing into Rabchenko's hands by not moving and letting him through his combinations.

100% agree. The only way i feel pryce will win this is if he takes it to the later rounds but needs to start doing more to secure some rounds. Rabchenko hasnt been past 6 rounds before

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 20 May 2011, 15:26

Judging by Lockett's comments that's the plan!

supacook2k · Post by **supacook2k** » 20 May 2011, 15:32

yeh. he's coming back into it. rest as much as possible this round as lockett said (round 7) then start to unload a bit

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 20 May 2011, 15:54

Pryce looked the classier boxer but for many rounds allowed himself to be outworked, if he'd got his jab working he would of exposed Rabchenko's terrible defence. 116-112 Rabchenko for me

Not watching it but by the sound of it Pryce has let yet another fight slip away....what a frustrating fighter he is

Maxwell is a big lad. Looks like he could bang but record suggests otherwise

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 20 May 2011, 16:06

I was expecting more from Rabchenko to be honest, his defence was really terrible and everytime Pryce worked off the jab he would have success he just didn't do it anywhere near enough

. Closish fight but can only have himself to blame. Can see Rabchenko fighting in Britain again, maybe a good fight for Matthew Hall or maybe A nice international fight for Arron.

Doran down after 20 seconds

alexpaterson · Post by **alexpaterson** » 20 May 2011, 16:13

What a fight! Sadly a terrible decision by Howard Foster mared it somewhat. Maxwell took a big shot but was still ok to continue, he had hurt Doran s matter of seconds earlier! Hopefully we get a rematch

skanksta · Post by **skanksta** » 20 May 2011, 16:13

What a fight that Doran vs Maxwell was !

Anyone else think the comms are way out of order here ?!

skanksta · Post by **skanksta** » 20 May 2011, 16:14

I'm watching the replay - I think Foster got it spot on and Max was gone !

But was fine a few seconds later? He was taking some big shots but I think the ref should have given him a lot more chance than he did. Refs far too keen to jump in these days, people pay to see a fight, that was pathetic.
