Eddie manufactured a way to avoid him fighting Sam Sexton as he knows his limitations and he may have been exposed against a domestic level opponent, blowing away a lucrative AJ rematch. There is no way he beats Price.
Breazeale is the only one who legitimately might wear him down. Would still fancy the plumber from Liverpool though.

I can't bear the so-called build up.....

"And here we have [pause] Britain's Anthony Joshua facing his most DANGEROUS test yet. [pause] [starts growling louder]We're talking about a man, in fact the ONLY man to have stopped former pound for pound, multi weight world champ Tomasz Adamek! [pause] Carl - we've got a dangerous, dangerous challenger tonight; will Joshua come through it???!!!!"
Carl Ftoch - "Well Adam..... it's a lot like when I knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley. It comes down to who wants it most; and who's the better fighter. And that night I proved it against George Groves."
Adam Smith (now growling like a lion who hasn't been fed in 3 months) "And THAT is what we're talking about Carl! [pause] We're talking about a 50/50 fight between two young fighters who want the world.... [pause] it's the question on everybody's lips Carl, who WILL triumph in this battle of wills!!!!!"
Carl Froch - "Well I see it very much like when I knocked out George Groves in front of 80,000 people at Wembley. It's about who HAS it. It's about who's better and who wants it more. In this case it was Carl Froch!"
Adam Smith (growling so much he can barely be understood) "Fantatsic stuff Carl! And remember this event is only available on Sky PPV at the low price of £20.99! Please remember that if you book on the night it'll cost £25.99! [pause] And beat in mind, THIS [pause] will be a night you will tell your grandchildren about!!! Just like those that witnessed Gianfranco Rosi-Darrin Van Horn! Let's get it on!! Carl - any last comments?"
Carl Froch - "Carl Froch sees this fight very much like when he fought George Groves at Wem"
Adam Smith - "gotta stop you there Carl! We have a live feed of Eric MOLINA eating a double stuffed crust, double pepperoni pizza..., he's really serious about this fight'"![]()
Superb BK
Thanks mate. Unfortunately it would be more funny if it wasn't so close to the truth!
Re: Feeling of dread - Price is going to get Joshua fight
Just curious, to those suggesting that Price iis a risky opponent, at what point does it become clear to you that hes not much of a danger to top guys? Let's say he gets knocked out by AJ, Whyte, and Breazeale to go 0-6 (6) beyond the Sam Sexton level---is he still a dangerman because he's got a good punch?

Molina is better than Price at least and that's the only positive I can find to say.

The boxing news guy is saying on Twitter that Price has made way for Molina after AJ got dropped in sparring in Sheffield last week. Apparently McCracken doesn't want him in with someone so dangerous!

To those of you saying Price would be a dangerous opponent would he be as dangerous as Audley? I mean Audley has height, build, an Olypic gold medal and that lovely left...
Has white wash written all over it.

Re: Feeling of dread - Price is going to get Joshua fight
Maybe i'm gullible but I think Eddie had stupidly thrown all his eggs into the Klitschko fight, I genuinely believe Eddie & Joshua wanted it. In that they've lost the Parker fight. Pulev doesn't want it apparently and we are left with only 2 last minute options in Molina & Price. Price was off the Bellew bill as the news was coming out about the wba sanctioning for Klitschko fight. Sky have been mentioning Price a lot recently and I was really starting to worry it'd be Price. It now looks like it's Molina.
If Price took the Joshua fight then that for me shows the lad is not confident and wants a payday as he is on the comeback trial and he should be fighting guys like Whyte & Chisora in my opinion, if he's got anything and gets some good wins then the Joshua fight becomes a lot more lucrative.
One things for sure Eddie has 6 weeks to try build the best undercard he's ever produced as the main even is gonna be poor either way. Price vs Whyte could be a good start.

Re: Feeling of dread - Price is going to get Joshua fight
Oh behave, look what Joshua did to Breazeale and Whyte. They were a proper mess afterwards, and Martin didn't stand up to anything that Joshua threw. It's apple and oranges. Neither Joshua or Wilder have fought the top elite.Killer Blow wrote:Look at what he did to Szpilka and Liakhovich. That's one punch KO power Joshua's never shown. Also, his power is proven at a higher level.Rob3_142 wrote:Well I think whether Wilder is a bigger puncher than Joshua or not remains to be seen. Wilder has a habit of making fights much more scrappier than he needs to do. He made hard work of Molina, Duhaupas and Szpilka. He's pretty sloppy with his technique and has spells of inviting the opponent back into the fight, when he should be closing the fight out. Duhaupas lost to Teper, who recently lost to Hammer, are we supposed to read loads into that too?Killer Blow wrote:
Let's put it this way, Wilder's a bigger puncher than Joshua and it took him 11 rounds to close the show. And he couldn't put Duhaupas on the canvas at any point.
And also, a Price fight wouldn't sell as well as you think. There's any so many mismatches you can get away with before people syltart wising up to it.
Duhaupas didn't lose to Teper, he was blatantly robbed. Don't get me wrong, Duhaupas isn't a world beater or even in the top 10, but is certainly a better option than what Eddie's offering.
Duhaupas is already tied up in a WBC mandatory. I don't know if he's in a position to cancel the fight as it's already gone to purse bid. Answers on a postcard.
