I think this would be it. On the face of it it is a bad fight for both Joshua and Price at the moment as despite what people say both are more than capable of knocking the other out and Price is on the verge of a European title shot. I think at this stage Chisora would be a better fight for both in terms of risk and I could see that fight selling as well as Joshua v Price.

I'd have a bet on it being less than 120 seconds,Price would be like a rabbit in the headlights.
Would be interesting to see what the odds are for a rounds 1-3 stoppage either way. I can only see this ending early given the firepower each possesses.

We've all seen it before when 2 big punchers get together and a 1st or 2nd round ko is predicted and it never happens,my guess on this is it all depends on Price and if he goes for it or backs off and looks to survive.If he tries to survive he will last 3 or 4 rounds until he burns all his nervous energy up,if he goes for it he'll last 2 minutes.

It happened with Haye v Maccarinelli but I know what you mean. Either way I'd like to see Joshua's chin tested and Price hits as hard as anyone in the division.

So it seems like Teper-Price will actually happen.
Good fight.
