Price v Tepper

[handsofstone]

Price didn't look as broad as he usually does tonight,Teper actually stood up to a few solid shots in the 1st round that would've stopped some heavy's

[deadpan]

Conversely I think Fury missed a trick not being the first man to dismantle him when Price was an illustrious scalp.

I think Fury would have stopped Price back then. I said it then and I haven't changed my mind. Fury did duck him though.

[crusader]

I've only seen the punch on a Facebook video. Did he get up and get his senses back ok?

Ya, he was back up not too long after. I think it looks a bit worse than it wa be because he fell under the bottom rope and that led to the appearence of him being motionless on his back when he actually attempted moving soon after falling but was blocked by the ropes.

Fury did indeed duck Price. Anyone would think he didn't trust his chin....

I still think there's a good chance that a confident Price would have landed a big shot on fury first as fury has never been overly aggressive. Still not sure how fury would cope with that.

These days fury wins without throwing an air shot

[stujones]

I think Price is too nice for the sport. Everything seems forced, he has a fearsome punch but never think he looks natural venting his anger on someone's face - I cannot help but think how much nervous energy this builds.

Good to know. Cheers

I know Price didnt look good tonight but I think he will be ducked more than ever now... If you beat him its gonna kind of be so what, yet he still is (and always will be) a dangerous opponent with the kind of power he possesses!

On a side note, is no-one actually giving Teper any credit for his performance tonight, I though he looked damn good in there tonight! The way he walked Price down was impressive. I know Price didnt shine, but I think Teper made Price look bad through a great performace!

I don't think Teper is going to get anywhere beyond Euro level. He's well below the world's best, I'd say he's probably Chisora level. He beat what was in front of him and he did it well, but I think it just proves that Price is damaged beyond repair.

Some people, like Fury, are fighting men, they love the rough and tumble of a fight, they love getting hit and then getting a bit wound up and having a right scrap with someone. Price just doesn't seem to have that fighting spirit in him, good athlete with a big frame, but not a true 'fighter' in the warrior sense. As soon as someone puts it right on him he crumbles. Watch the end of the first round and the walk to the corner again for evidence of that - he was a beaten, broken man.

He's not worth the danger for top 30 types of opponents, but he shouldn't be fighting them anyway.

He'll be more respected than he was before, but Price looked awful and it's not as if he's beaten a world level opponent.

No heart.

[stujones]

Tepper vs Browne would be a good little scrap.

[Jack B]

Unbelievable to think that 2 and a half years ago I would have bet my house on Price KOing Fury within 6 rounds!

Joshua disciples take note. He's had no chin check, stamina test or warrior examination yet.

Price had already shown an awful chin in the amateurs.

Joshua looks a lot better than Price did before the Thompson loss.

Cheers, I'm really annoyed because I thought the fight was tomorrow and was going to go for the teper stoppage and was in two minds about going for a teper and Martinez stoppage double.

[PredatorHayds]

Gutted for price.

He may need to even fight Joshua scraps e.g Whyte and Cornish just for a British fight now.

He seemed scared of him own shadow tonight , bit like Audley Harrison.

Teper doesn't look much. Would love to see him against Chisora. Chisora outmuscles him.

Price got anymore fights on his sauerland contract?
Wonder if Hearn makes a move?

horse, you are a factual man.

Fury and Chisora had the same number of amateur fights as AJ.

Neither of them ever hit the floor.

Joshua did three times.

Price did 12 times.

[crusader]

Price looked more vulnerable than AJ but that doesn't mean questions shouldn't bee asked about how Joshua takes a shot, copes under pressure , or manages stamina wise if forced to go rounds.. Let's also not forget that he was dropped, stopped, and given counts on seperate occasions in a fairly short amateur career, so he didn't exactly look like an iron man either.

[TheGman]

Price seems a nice fella but boxing isnt his game,if he carrys on he will b the new audley harrison. Dont know why his corner was gettin all shirty with the camera guy its boxing and ther man just got knocked spark out the camera is gonna go on him ffs

[MrJasonM]

Just watched the fight.

It's hard to see a future in the sport for Price. His jab, with his size and power, should be a real weapon but he just doesn't know how to use it. I didnt even think the shot that knocked Price out was the biggest punch, however I do admit it's easy to say that sat at home.

I noticed on commentary they said Franny Smith was his trainer, I thought he left him?

All the same I think David Price might decide to hang them up now as I dont see where he goes in the sport. It's a shame as to echo what other people have said, he seems like such a nice guy.
