Price - Harrison Predictions.

[keithmoonhangover]

I'm going to say Price by first round count out.

[CiganoBoxer]

I hear after he beats Fraudley that Price is gonna step up in class and fight Freddie Flintoff

[deadpan]

1st round kayo? With respect that's ridiculous sir.

Audley stopped on his feet in the second.

[Matt W]

I predict Audley will get knocked into next week and then go back to the drawing board so that he can fulfil his density.

[pnejon]

Price. Round 2 or 3

[ShadrachSimmo]

Price within 4.

[IRLangmaid25]

Price somewhere between rounds 7-10. He will spend a couple of rounds picking his shots and working off the jab before stepping up the pace stopping Harrison and probably knocking him down at least once I reckon.

[josh fg]

Though I think Price will win I think this will be a much more difficult fight than anyone expects. Harrison is the guy who beat Micheal Sprott one armed. I think it'll be a late round KO but after a hard fight in which Price will learn a lot.

[ShadrachSimmo]

I'm not going to go out on a limb and say that those predicting a one or two round blow-out will be proven wrong but I would be interested to hear the logic behind their thoughts. I really rate Price and think he has the tools to progress but he's fairly textbook to the extent a decent boxer of comparable stature should really be able to keep him at bay for more than a round or two.

I feel that after a few rounds Price will have gotten through with some decent shots and A-Farces arse will collapse. Your probably right in saying a big heavy with decent speed, defence, chin etc will contain Price for a good few rounds but I just don't think Harrison has much left these days except maybe his punch.

[Bronxbull666]

I think Price will win in round 5. I must say, though, Audley is being very quiet these days. A-Force has to be the greatest self promoter of all time, in terms of selling himself as a top class fighter. I've been waiting 10 years for Audley to lose his rag and go ape sh*t on someone's ass or think f*ck this, I'm gonna bang this guy out in round one.

On one hand I want Price to be a great world champion and tame a new era, along with Fury and have that all British unification fight. But, on the other hand, I'd like to see Harrison leave his career with dignity intact, something he has never really been afforded. The BBC deal ruined Harrison, I'm convinced of that and I know it was Harrison's fault as well, but He has under-achieved and has never really seemed comfortable as a boxer.

[Hagler2002]

Price inside 6 rnds is 4/5 I guarantee you this is paying for Christmas and next year's summer holiday!

[Deano s]

I just put a grand on that myself :-) oh god please don't hit him with your left on the chin audly

[ScottDetonator]

Price inside 2 rounds. Audley babbered his shorts when he saw Haye coming towards him, what's he going to do when a really revved up beast of a man like Price comes storming at him? He won't even want to throw a punch and will go straight into GTFOOTWM(that is, get the feck out of the way mode).

He'll be down in the first round unless he legs it out of the arena.

[Bronxbull666]

I've had 2 dreams in recent months, one last night, both depicted 2 fighters being brutally stopped. 1st one was Carl Froch getting knocked down badly 3 times early on. Last night's was Price going down horribly after left straight bang on the button. I never saw the opponents, but Froch's wasn't black and was wearing red shorts.

Might have a little double, just as a cover bet, based on premonition only. Had the same sort of dream with Hatton and Pacqiauo, but ignored it. That dream had Hatton breaking down in training as well.

The BBC deal ruined Harrison, I'm convinced of that and I know it was Harrison's fault as well.

Firstly it was only ever Harrison's fault, not a shared one. Secondly, irrespective of that deal, it's pretty clear that his heart has never really been in it. The BBC deal may have been a catalyst, but it didn't create those flaws, they were already present.

I'll explain what I meant by that: The BBC deal didn't endear him to uneducated and casual fans, because of his level of opposition. The BBC jumped all over this deal, probably thinking they had the next Ali or Lewis on their hands. It must have had a unique effect on Harrison, any heart he did have was probably lost during this time. People were tuning in hoping to see him lose or just to slag him off.

Headlining live on BBC is no place for a pro prospect. A naive move by all concerned IMO. I think the BBC were thinking they could get boxing back to the big time after the 'Thunder In Africa' shambles.

Harrison KO 3rd Round

'YES HE CAN!' in budgy smuglers

Ah, OK. See what you mean

[ILikeBeer]

Basically, Price whenever he connects. Problem is, I think it'll be a few rounds before he does connect. Audley will go into overcautious mode, and make it hard for Price to hit him. I don't think it'll be over in 1, but will be over in the third or fourth.

[Josh1111]

And what about if Audley catches Price?

I hate Audley more than most but Price's chin is yet to be tested and he didnt exactly prove to be made of steel in the am's.

Audley can punch, his left is dangerous. I wouldn't be suprised if there was a shock on the cards but realistically, i think Price will win by KO

[Tykemania]

All depends really whether Price has acheived enough as yet for Fraudley to be terrified of him. If so, a la Haye, an early and possibly crushing knockout is on the cards. If not, Harrison has the skills to get it at distance and dull for six to eight rounds before tiring and being stopped.

[SteveDow]

Am going to this one.

All logic has to point to an early Price stoppage. He is the bigger man, has huge power, Audley has a dodgy chin, I can't remember the last time a Price fight went past 4 rounds, Audley is very ring rusty only having fought once in 2 years against sub-standard opposition and Price will be desparate to make a statement in his hometown.

All in all the 1/3 with Sky Bet for a stoppage looks an absolute cert and the 4/5 for inside 6 rounds is highly likely. I just can't see how Harrison can last. I guess there is a small chance he lands a big shot but for me that's a remote possibility.

I just don't see it happening. Audley has always been caution-first in his approach. His whole career he has been like that. I know he occasionally throws a big punch and knocks a guys head off, but even early in his career in his learning fights, he seemed to like 'feeling opponents out' for a few rounds before attacking. I'm not sure he's got that much time against Price.

I was a big fan of Audley when he first turned pro, and all his fights were on the BBC. But he's not lived up to the promises made, sadly.

[ILikeBeer]

I was going to go out and watch this one in the pub, as I don't have allegedly.

But I might stay in and watch the Hennessy bill on Five. I need to start cutting down on my alcohol intake, and I've always been a bit of a fan of Lenny Daws.

Sadly, this will mean having to watch the DeGale fight. And there has never been a fighter I truly loathe as much as I do DeGale. I'd rather have anybody on Channel Five than him.

Harrison not doing a training camp, he's chilling at home http://m.skysports.com/article/boxing//8132680
