I wouldn't mind that either. The board need to get their finger out.Horse wrote:That would be reasonable.BitPlayer wrote:I think, assuming he still wants to fight, have a Sexton-Mcdermott eliminator.
If none of the top fighters want the title, then the lower ranked fighters need to win eliminators to at least give them an iota of respectability heading into a British title fight.

I wouldn't have minded if Allen and Whyte contested the British at the weekend tbh but the board said no. To be fair they did order Whyte v Fury but Fury declined.maley1984 wrote:Stuarty30 wrote:I wouldn't mind that either. The board need to get their finger out.Horse wrote:That would be reasonable.

Can't blame the board they have made fights. well sent them to purse bids. But the fights haven't happened. Board ordered Allen v sexton as a eliminator and English title last month. With Allen's loss that can't happen

Not really but if he managed to beat Whyte it would've been fair game. I'd just much rather the title was being contested tbh. There's been talk of Whyte v Chisora. That's a decent British title fight. Or either of them v Price but God knows what's happening with Price just now. Can't see him going in with either Whyte or Chisora anytime soon.maley1984 wrote:Stuarty30 wrote:I wouldn't have minded if Allen and Whyte contested the British at the weekend tbh but the board said no.

But did Allen deserve a shot imo no.
I think the loss of confidence thing with Price is overstated.BitPlayer wrote:Price needs to rebuild his confidence to beat anyone decent, and I don't think it'll happen sadly. In truth I don't think he should be boxing at all. All he's going to do is beat a load of journeyman then get knocked out quickly when he steps up.
The reason he wouldn't fight Whyte is because another quick knock out would pretty much end him, and I think that's pretty likely.

I can't speak for the guy I just don't see him taking on anyone dangerous in the immediate future. He's damaged goods.Horse wrote:Why would Price duck Whyte? If he can beat him then he might get a shot at Joshua.
If he can't beat Whyte then what can Price realistically achieve in boxing?
What else is he going to do? How is he going to get an easier shot at big opportunities than a Whyte fight?
Give yourself peace Horse. If he was serious about fighting he'd have fought by now!Horse wrote:He last fought just under 3.5 years ago.rd350lc wrote:Is Mcdermott still an active fighter ? when was the last time he fought ?
Everyone keeps pulling out of fights against him before he gets the chance to enter the ring.
I'm with Horse on this one. Whyte would definitely be dangerous for Price, but it's the most winnable dangerous fight out there for him that would actually get him somewhere with a win.Stuarty30 wrote:I can't speak for the guy I just don't see him taking on anyone dangerous in the immediate future.

I'm not disagreeing. If the Whyte fight presents itself to Price he should go for it. I just don't think he will. He'll probably spend the rest of the year knocking out fat Latvians.gilgamesh wrote:I'm with Horse on this one.

I don't think he was ever great, but looking at older vs newer fights I think he confidence and thus his effectiveness really have dropped, he never looked that confident, but he looks a lot more nervious now being scared to commit to a punch at all, which is why I think his jab looks so bad, he sort of paws it rather than throwing it is the best I can put it, there's no force nor speed.Horse wrote:I think the loss of confidence thing with Price is overstated.BitPlayer wrote:Price needs to rebuild his confidence to beat anyone decent, and I don't think it'll happen sadly.

I don't think that Price was ever really very good and he was never very confident. He's lost when he's stepped up because he isn't good enough, not because he's lost confidence.
The guy can't even throw a competent jab. Can anyone explain why his jab is so bad? I'd expect better from a novice.
Is Price capable of improving?
The guy is a complete mess. He's got to be one of the wimpiest prospects in boxing history.BitPlayer wrote:I don't think he was ever great, but looking at older vs newer fights I think he confidence and thus his effectiveness really have dropped, he never looked that confident, but he looks a lot more nervious now being scared to commit to a punch at all, which is why I think his jab looks so bad, he sort of paws it rather than throwing it is the best I can put it, there's no force nor speed.
I don't want to say he can't improve, but I've seen nothing to suggest it.
