Price vs Fury

[whiskey]

So, we await the purse bids to see whether or not this lands on Sky or Ch5.

I have a feeling this could end up at The Echo arena, given the size and locality to both men.

How do you see both men's chances ?

Personally I believe the fight is won or lost with Fury's training camp. When he is in shape and not wreckless he's difficult. When he is overweight and had messy training he goes to the wall, hit with silly shots and looking beatable.

Price has took care of business in sensational fashion to date. But questions linger over his chin and also the ability to fight at a hot pace for 12 rounds.

Fury is no banger so cant expose Price's chin - but his own chin negates a bit of Price's power - and has gotten off the floor and been rocked but has come back quickly and (when) in shape, does the 12.

That's what makes this a very interesting bout.

Price ko Fury he has natural power. Can see Fury promotor going different route. I imagine Frank Maloney will bid big for this.

[sendo]

Price has better boxing skills, more power and looks in better shape and behaves like more of a pro. He'd win comfortably imo.

We'll see how Price's chin holds up at world level though.

[stujones]

Cannot see Fury standing up to those punches.

[soulboy]

I predict this would be over within 3 - 4 rounds , in prices favour...hopefully to shut furys big mouth up.

I agree 100% with all of that. The only question mark over Price is his chin. As others have said Fury doesn't have the professional approach like Price. He simply has to train and train well. To give himself any kind of winning chance. Maybe the thought of fighting Price might be the extra motivation is clearly lacks on a regular basis.

[Tykemania]

I don't think this is nearly as starightforward as most people seem to think - Price would, for me, start as a narrow favourite on the basis that his shots come with more obvious concussive power than Fury's largely arm shots. But - and these are big buts - his chin is untested, and a fit Fury can be both awkward and constant, and he has got that bit more experience in the pro game. Plus, Price himself admits that in his biggest fight to date - that Olympic semi - he froze, and noone is going to know whether he will freeze again until he's in under that kind of pressure.

why is ther this huge question about prices chin?? did he get stopped lots in the amateurs?? is it true fury dropped him?

i was there when pricey schooled him in the amateurs, pricey slipped during the fight when there wasnt even a punch thrown

[Camcas]

Amateurs is a lot different to the Pro's. Price was dropped when he was young and inexperienced. There is no way Fury stands up to Price's punches if they fight it will be over quickly, Price inside 3

[tear up]

on my wish list for this year big pricey oh he s the boyo

He got dropped a couple of times in the commonwealths back in 06. Cammarelle also bashed him in Beijing remember. Didn't he get stopped a couple of times when he was younger too? 4 nations final I think.

He will be involved in a few exciting fights I think. He will stop Fury. Nobody in Britain will give him much trouble to be honest, bar Haye of course but he doesn't count right now.

[kells]

seems to many are thinkin about that olympic stoppage loss.so what?? hes looking good

Indeed. Look at Wlad he being stopped a few times but Haye hardly troubled him! Price has natural power I hope he fights in march Sexton, Sprott , Rogan if Fury cannot be made for then.

[broomy7s]

Price took a decent shot from mcdermott just as he dropped him with the uppercut. I don't believe there is a current problem with price's chin. Might not have a klitschko or froch iron chin but it isn't a worry. The lad is now 28 and he's had world class sparring, his body is developing well and so is the power. I like tyson fury but for me price is going to be at the very top level. Could possibly be the guy to retire the klitschko's in a couple of years. I'd like to see him fight sexton, fury & chisora this year and then move on to european level early next year.

[whiskey]

Unlike Audley, Skelton etc...

...Price, Fury and Chisora are three heavies I'd like to see fight each other more than once !

[rhino222]

price wins a boxing match, fury wins a fight.......so it depends what happens after the bell. either could stop the other.

[Finch]

I'm ot so worried about Price's chin, because Fury has no power. My only question would be whether Price could fight at a high tempo for 12 rounds. Fury has a decent workrate but then again he's been hurt by non-punchers.

Price wins this clearly for me. Perhaps he'll have a scare along the way, but that's no big deal.

[ScottDetonator]

Can we see Fury vacating the British Title then? If he does fight Price and lose, either on Sky or Ch 5(hope its on 5), where does Fury go from there? He'd be looking back at Chisora or Audley for a lot less money than he's on now as an unbeaten British Champ.

Liverpool have never had a British Heavyweight Champ, so Price isn't going to be letting that one go. If Fury vacates, who will Price have to fight for the belt? Sexton? It could well be Chisora couldn't it? Even though that could be months and months away if he suffers a battering from Vitali.

Surely, Fury can only vacate if he is fighting for the EBU against Helenius, or he's going to look like he's running from Price. Going to be interesting to see how the bids go on this one.

[reggaereggae]

i thought fury was really good for the game but just doesnt look stable or good enough. price on the other hand is a total professional and should be favoured, even if his name is not as good!

[tonyevs]

More people are questioning the chin of Price than of Fury.
Where as it is Fury who has shown the greater concern in the chin dept.

Price should start a very big favourite against Fury. I really can`t see Fury avoiding a big punch for long enough to wear down Price .. because Fury certainly doesn`t have the one punch power to put Price away with one shot.

Would be very surprised if Fury is matched with Price anytime soon.

[Matt W]

Price within 5, much better fighter all round.

[Dan Dares]

Fury v Helenius is the fight meaty mick should be trying to make

[Finch]

Fury first round KO. He's the biggest most exciting heavyweight since his namesake and going to take the world by storm.
