David Price vs. Vaclav Pejsar - May 29th 2016
Re: Next For David Price?
Re: Next For David Price?
The problem is that won't work. Fans (even casual ones) already know the script with Price from the past. Looks really good against domestic level opponents or journeymen and then proceeds to get ktfo when he takes that step up in level. He's already got that rep of having a glass jaw whether the case or not.davie wrote:Get a couple wins, build up some hype, get a few armchair fans believing he's back on route to world honours.

Re: Next For David Price?
It frustrates me how all British fighters expect to get world honours. This has been mentioned on the Boxing Asylum and the Next Big Pod. There is nothing wrong with being British level, which David Price probably is. He's not World level, he's arguably not even European level considering his lost to Erkan Teper and Tony Thompson. Why not just fight a few bums and then go up to fight John McDermott again. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but everyone in Britain, like Paul Smith, are so obsessed at getting a world title shot they will do anything to make the "dream" happen. It was said on one of the podcasts that if you compare this to football. Its like having a League One/Championship team spouting off how they deserve a title shot because they used to be good. Leeds United for example. How can you say that you deserve a title fight or even you deserve to go for the world title when you're simply not good enough. You can carve out a decent career for yourself fighting domestics, more so than plumbing anyway.lefty wrote:The problem is that won't work.

David Allen
Michael Sprott
Sam Sexton
Nick Webb

Re: Next For David Price?
I think Pricey would stop all of them early except Whyte, Prizefighter might suit Pricey he was an elite level amateurjohnswan1 wrote:What about a Heavyweight prizefighter consisting of:

I have a terrible smell in my bathroom he might be able to remedy.
Re: Next For David Price?
Whyte, Price, H. Fury and Chisora, would be more interesting I think. Whyte and Chisora are already meant to be fighting, so just add in Price Vs H. Fury and winner Vs winner.

Re: Next For David Price?
If he signed on with YOU I "BET" you would be brainstorming lot greater! + thinking of ways to strengthen him make him tiny bit more! He is a piece of REAL ESTATE no doubt! "Tiger" Thompson of course too much at the time they met.Ally-M1 wrote:I genuinely don't know.
Where does he go? It's probably safe to say he can't compete much beyond domestic level.
He'll likely to have lower cars fights and maybe, get himself some British Title fights later on (once it's vacated or something).
Na, I've got no clue as to where Price should go next.

Hands up you had me fooled.
"Nothing he writes makes any sense" I'd tell myself as I reread your posts again and again trying to gather some meaning from the bizarre syntax, utterly random use of capitals and bewildering logic. "Maybe it's me" I thought as I conceded defeat, unable to agree with , disagree with or even understand your point several hours after first studying it.
You sir are a wind up merchant extraordinaire, kudos to you

Price vs Hughie would be great but I'm not sure Fury's team would risk it at the moment and I think Price might want to look at more stationary targets to whack around.BitPlayer wrote:Whyte, Price, H.

I like those four though - if I were matching them, I'd go Price/Chisora and Hughie/Whyte
Re: Next For David Price?
Price needs to rebuild and drop back down to domestic level, Allen seems a logical option and a fight that can easily be made.BigDoofus wrote:Allen has done nothing to earn a payday except for spouting off in IFL interviews.Furey wrote:Dave Allen is the one calling his name, I'd like to see that fight.

David Price is a PRODUCT! Don't know about him personally going to start looking.

Pricey is due out on the Bellew/Makabu undercard - http://www.BS.com/david-price- ... rd--103748
Re: Next For David Price?
it'll be against some Latvian who'll offer little in the way of competition. They should bring over someone who will give him some confidence if he manages to win. He'd probably flatten Cornish or Allen and take a bit of a boost from it. Knocking over some fat cabbage is just a waste of his and everyone else's time.wesshaw1985 wrote:Pricey is due out on the Bellew/Makabu undercard - http://www.BS.com/david-price- ... rd--103748
Re: Next For David Price?
I hope it's price against Dave Allen
I'd expect the big price to knock out Allen fairly quick
Price has great power and still could be in big fights

Price v Cornish would be good. Whoever lands first wins.
Re: Next For David Price?
Cornish is pretty featherfisted for such a big guy and I wouldn't be surprised if even Pricey managed to stand up to his shots.
Re: Next For David Price?
It would be good to boost Price's confidence but not for anything else. He'd annihilate Cornish. Price is leagues above.forcefraser wrote:Price v Cornish would be good. Whoever lands first wins.

Anyone in against Price will or should just throw leather and it is good night. Nice enough fella, but zero punch resistance
Re: Next For David Price?
I think Sexton, Harrison, McDermott, and Skelton were better than Cornish, who is more of an area level guy than a British level one in my view. Price simply flooring Thompson also impresses me more than anything Cornish has done.
That said, I suspect that Price's confidence is pretty shitty now and perhaps he'd shell up even against people like Cornish.

AJ is the obvious answer
