If you like.

BTW, I agreed with your post about Thompson being too big a step up for Price. Great post that mate.

too soon, Steve Lillis spoke alot of sense before the bout tonight about the rematch being the wrong move, and Maloney even admitted post fight he didn't want the rematch. Price obviously let his heart rule his head to restore his pride, but Maloney should have been stronger in his stance that he has to work the levels.

It was a daft idea. Price should have had a tune up, then fought Del Boy, then Sprott and then maybe Shane Cameron or Alex Leapia in a Commonwealth defence. Then a rematch with Thompson.

i don't think he beats Wlad, i said if the same shot was on Wlads chin and not Thompson's i'd be a different outcome. Wlads a vastly superior fighter to the version of him that got messed up by Sanders but it's his protection of his chin that improved, not the chin itself.


As for Fury, i don't think he hits hard enough to blast Price out early, but Price certainly hits hard enough to stop a guy who was damn near flattened by an ancient cruiserweight. I'll take Price inside 3.

I think Fury hits as hard as Thompson to be fair.

Not on your life.

What are you basing that on? How many top class heavyweights has Thompson knocked out himself? He never hurt Wlad even in the times he caught him in the two times they fought and Wlad isnt exactly known for his iron chin.

Some birthday present that for Pricey..

He will see the replay and watch a man knock him out, then proceed to brag about going home and shagging his wife so hard she'll need a wheelchair afterwards.

haha one of the most awkward/bizarre interview moments of all time. Made me laugh, I was like, he can't seriously be saying this stuff on TV, then it just kept flowing and flowing. Mental!

Mate, I know you're a big Fury fan and so am I, but what he said is right.

Let me ask you this..... Is Fury better now than he was for the first McDermott fight? Yes or No?

[desperados]

You think thompson lacks power because he didn't KO Wladimir Klitchko?

It's pretty obvious to me he hits harder than Fury. He obviously bangs hard, he's been around the top 5 in ranking for a long time and has 9 KO wins in a row now with most of his fights being illiminators. Fury has fought 2 ranked opponents in Chisora & Johnson and wouldn't have needed a baseball bat to stop either. The rest of his record is made of jokes & club fighters like Vinny Maddalone.

yeah i never seen a guy improve and work through the levels before. You either got it or you don't. You should be a manager

Can I answer that? Yes, by far. With Peter in his corner you will see intelligent tactics in Manchester in September. Hope you're there, Keith.

No, im saying the fact that he caught Wlad a fair few times and Wlad never looked remotely troubled says a lot. Who has Thompson knocked out who was classed as anything special aside from Price? Be honest.

[Kilburn]

It's not all over for Price, you could still make a case for a serious conditioning coach putting him right however implausible that may be in reality. 2 KO defeats to Thompson would have surely signalled the end but the manner of tonight's result allows for a different spin.

As much as I wanted Price to win I was willing Thompson to make it through the second round as there were still questions about Price that required answering.

All in all I think it was a satisfactory night. Despite the loss Price didn't look as glass jawed as everyone suspected, and Tony Thompson was allowed to give one of the best post fight interviews in recent memory courtesy of CH437's hilariously raw programming style.

Me too mate. I think Fury needs to be on his best behaviour to win the fight. If he stands square with his hands by his side, he's going down. If he boxes smart, sticks to the game plan and doesn't get involved in the mind games, he'll win.

My gut feeling is he'll taunt Haye and get caught.

[Karl Jade]

Haye and Booth are far too smart to lose a fight to Tyson Fury. They'll spot his weakness, set traps and get him on the chin. Game over.

Ok, he didn't go over from one punch, but his resistance was poor. He looked like he had done twelve hard rounds after three, and lets be honest, they were not the greatest punches he got caught with. Basically, we can add stamina to his list of problems.

[Kilburn]

I'll be amazed if Fury can react quick enough to avoid getting knocked out by Haye within 3 rounds.

It could well be curtains for Price ultimately. But it could have been considerably worse.

Booth has nothing to do with it. I could tell Haye he has to hit Fury hard and fast if its that easy. The problems will come when David (who thinks the public love him) walks out to a hostile atmosphere and has a big man who wants to beat him laying all over him and hitting him. He wont be in London with Chisora(which he was fooked in). Come on up David, see how the Northern boys roll...(im pissed)!

Price aint goood enough its clear know now lets move on haye and Fury are the british heayweight to watch.

[loaded_gloves]

No chin, no stamina, no need to discuss Price further. He is now irrelevant.

Tyson Fury will get whacked by David Haye soon, lose in a similar ignominious manner, probably involving a funky chicken dance then crying afterwards, and we can all move back to smaller athletic heavyweights.
