There’s only three confirmed fights bar this one, the main event, Bellotti vs Walsh (a good fight) and Rosales vs Edwards (solid world title fight). Add that domestic level HW bout and this ain’t a PPV card yet.

Needs another two good fights for me, preferably Joe Joyce vs Carlos Takam should be one. If not, more rotten shite from Hearn.

Buatsi vs Quinlan has been confirmed so that’s 5 so far. Still missing one good fight for me.

I think they’re good in different ways, Warrington vs Frampton for a belt is more PPV sounding I’ll give you that.

Alongside each other though, Walsh vs Bellotti and Williams vs Heffron are pretty similar, just at different weights.

Buatsi vs Quinlan is probably a better fight than Conlan vs Cunningham, but for the sake of this I’d say it’s even too.

Then you’ve got Murray vs N’Dam which is a solid match up, but I’d argue so is Edwards vs Rosales.

They’re pretty neck and neck for me, Gorman vs Cojanu and Price vs Little are different because you expect Gorman to beat Cojanu, it’s just how he does it. With Price, you don’t know.

It could turn out that BT’s card is more entertaining because there’s a couple of middleweight fights as opposed to featherweights and superflys, but in terms of quality, it’s pretty similar.

So I guess he's semi-domestic level?

Going to lump a bit on this i think. If Price doesn't put on a show in this 1 surely he needs to retire. Fighting for his career from opening bell.

MasterG wrote: ↑19 Dec 2018, 14:33 On paper Little has no chance against Price. Coming off 2 losses one against Filip Hrgovic who possibly could beat any of the current British heavyweights excluding the top 5 or 6. Little is no where near British title level and possibly only area level at the best. I dont think Little would beat Kamil Sokolowski, Kash Ali rated 13., or even Mark Bennett who beat Kamil Sokolowski over 4 rounds.

Price on the other hand should walk through Little inside 2 rounds but this is David Price we are talking about. While we know what Price has to offer in the defensive department I still cant see him losing to Little. I just dont see Little throwing something that will hit Price on the chin. Price should stop Little inside 2 rounds. I still have this voice in my head saying to me while I wrote that prediction 'are you crazy'.

ElJefe wrote: ↑19 Dec 2018, 19:19 Strangely enough, after watching Price's last couple of fights I strangely think he might fight better as an underdog. That might not sound like it makes sense given that he was iced by Povetkin and retired against Kuzmin, but he seems to fight with a bit more urgency knowing that he has to land his bombs to win.

When he's the big favourite these days it's as though he tries to box more safely and as a result the flaws in his game show up, i.e. backing up in a straight line, not moving his head and getting tagged on the chin. Against Povetkin and Kuzmin he was holding his feet a bit more and taking shots on the arms and gloves because he probably knew he couldn't out point them.

If, and as always with Price, its a big if, he can string a couple of wins together I'd actually like to see him have another crack at Kuzmin who looks beatable to me. But before that I'd like to see him get a couple of wins under his belt against the likes of Dave Allen, Kash Ali and Gary Cornish.

You're not wrong, but I worry about Price. Little has nothing to lose and that can make a fighter dangerous. Price has a lot of pressure on him as he is expected to win this fight and if he loses, he, as you said, needs to call it a career.
