David Price v Audley Harrison 13 October at Echo Arena

[canonball1234]

I see a big upset! Lol

[IRLangmaid25]

At 40, Harrison must the oldest man ever to challenge for the British title surely?

I was wondering this myself. I don't think oldest of any challengers, but maybe heavyweight. Nobody else springs to mind, though.

Just looked it up briefly (not exhaustively). Harrison is the oldest British title challenger at heavyweight, while the oldest challenger at any weight appears to be Dennis Andries. According to BoxRec (as there was some dispute over Andries' exact birth date), he was 43 when he challenged Johnny Nelson for the British cruiserweight title.

I am not surprised that you mentioned Dennis Andries at all. I have watched a couple of his fights and he always seemed to be a fight who kept himself in excellent shape throughout his 18 year career.

Fury gets grief for beating cab drivers but Price is fighting the victim of a cab driver.

The fight seems wrong but it still has an appeal and I hate that. Audley, should have gone by now and Price shouldn't be putting this man infront of a mic again.

Will check the result, the day after, rather than watch it live.

Why are fights always sold like this "this show will have 3 other titles on it"?

Surely it would be better to say "this show will have 3 other highly competitive entertaining match ups" because we all know that not all titles are equal and house fighter v imported tomato can for the WTF In-Continent Interim Super Championship is meaningless. Is it too much to ask to stop treating boxing fans and paying punters like fools?

Why do you keep having a swipe at Eddie Hearn?

All the fans seem to be praising the guy left, right and centre so surely he's doing something right? It's a shame that promoters would prefer to bash the competition, rather than take what they do good and copy or build on it.

Matchroom are giving value for money to the fans along with competitive match ups that we want to see, and on top of that are getting praised high and low by the fighters they work with. Maybe others should follow suit.

Hearn has been around for less than two years and has already put on better shows than you for that time, someone sounds a bit bitter that they can't accept competition

Price looks free money at 1/2 with Sky Bet for the stoppage.

I hope we all give David Price as much stick as people was giving Tyson Fury at one time for mentioning fraudley as possible opponent !!

At least Audrey brings name value. Price needs to get himself exposure, because at 30 he's not going to have a long career in front of him, so needs to start getting himself exposure now. That's the purpose of this fight. Say what you like about Audley, but people have heard of him and fighting him gets the opponent's names in the newspaper. The fact that he's not very good is almost irrelevant.

Price would be better off fighting Chisora, as Chisora is a name but will also come to fight and I believe will make life difficult for him for a few rounds. (Despite the fact Price would win.)

I think Price needs three or fight defences of his British title. He needs to start gaining experience, at 13-0 he's a little green. But his opponents should also get publicity for him, as he's not getting any younger. This is what the Harrison fight basically is. Price getting his name out there to the casual fans. I have no complaint with that, as long as he fights more challenging opponents next.

Fury on the other hand accomplishes nothing in fighting bell-ends like Neven Pajkic and Vinny Maddalone, other than lining his pocket with Channel Five's money whilst beating mediocre fighters.

You say price should be fighting chisora but then dis Fury for fighting nobodies when he has already beaten chisora.
Price v Harrison is a good fight, Price is pretty unproven and very green - looks good dont get me wrong but we havent seen him in with anyone skillfull, big or with power. Aud has all those things people are assuming that Big Aud wont show up as usual, there could be an upset if he does.

Auds left is a cannon that will take out most HW's and against ali adams he threw a something like a 14 punch combination to finish him. If harrison fought every round of his career like he did against danny williams in the rematch or the last round of the Ali adams fight he would have been a world champion by now.

If i had to put on a bet my life on it i would go Price to KO Aud in 5; but i dont have to bet my life so im going for Harrison to stop price in 8. The odds are better and something is telling me Auds going to cause an upset.

I'm not dissing Fury per se. I was just pointing out Price accomplishes something in fighting Audley. Fury accomplished nothing when he fought Neven Pajkic and Vinny Maddalone other than easy paydays.

Also, the reasons I gave for Price fighting Chisora were partly about publicity, which Chisora didn't bring when he fought Fury. People are mistaking Chisora losing to Klitschko and to Haye with Chisora being a World Class heavy. He's not. But beating him will elevate Price further.

Bear in mind Fury had signed to fight Chisroa before the Channel Five deal was made. For a while they struggled to find a channel with that fight. He was having to take risks then. Now he's got himself a guaranteed contract, he is fighting lesser names. If Price fought and beat somebody, I'd give him credit. And I give him credit deserved for beating Chisora.

Point is, I'm not against Fury. And beating Del was a good step up for him. It's since then I have the problem. I wanted to move on from that win, and he didn't.

There nothing bitter about me i like other and competition is good for the sport but there a right and wrong way about doing things and even does some of us do not get alone or see eye to eye on matter, we stick to the book or i like to think we do. The trouble is the fan's on here only hear or see what they want to see so they are not in the knowing that going on be hide the sences. Time will tell who is right or wrong in the way they do things

If and it's a big IF, Audley lands an uppercut (I know, he needs to throw one first) there could be an upset.

[AT MAGIC]

Have a look at Prices op0tions;

Fury; wont fight him..... yet
Chisora; coming off 3losses wont fight him...yet
Towers; to scared
Skelton; too old
No name European; waste of Time

In my view he had just 2 options Audley Harrison and The Aussie bloke Lucas Browne fighting in the uk , both on the same level , 1 very well known , 1 not very well known
