andy skill · Post by **andy skill** » 03 Sep 2011, 06:30

It's only a fortnight until Fury is scheduled to fight again.
anyone know when his opponent will be announced?
It pretty short notice to get a decent opponent.

Im not sure? Isnt pricey in the running soon? How do you feel he would fend up to price? I hope that maybe in the future i will be knocking on his door for a shot :)

IMO Price would lay him out in about 4 rounds. To powerful for Fury and more of a text book fighter. Would love to see this fight

I believe so too. Maybe it will happen soon enough fingers crossed

What happens if Fury catches him clean with a hard shot?

As the fight is in Belfast, they will probably bring in a Northern Ireland Heavyweight for the "home interest" angle.

So, bearing that in mind the most high profile you could get is: Martin Rogan.
Apprently there have been talks but Rogie is not happy with the way he has been treated and the money wasn't right for him, he wanted more.

So, bearing that in mind: you would be looking at Darren Corbett(

) the former Prizeifghter and succesful Cruiserweight.
Actually, I heard rumours on Tuesday that Fury's people had been in contact with Corbett about the fight.

Other viable contenders are: Kevin McBride, Colin Kenna, Coleman Barrett

Where does the received wisdom that Price has a crap chin come from?

I didn't say he had a crap chin.

I just asked a question. He might walk through Fury, who knows?

Fury lacks technique and so doesn't have a big punch. However, he does seem to have a decent chin.
I think it's really disappointing that after a career best win, in his last fight against del boy, they've not managed to get a decent opponent, who has a few weeks notice.
Another good fight with good audience figures could mean more boxing on C5!

Pricey at this point has the power and techniques to hurt most heavyweights but is a bit chinny himself. Somewhere along the line these two will fight, I just hope fury improves his fitness and punch technique, and doesn't uppercut himself in the chin!

Whoever he fights though it's good that he's keeping busy. He says he wants to fights atleast twice maybe 3 times more this year. Does it really matter who he fights in Belfast? Alot of boxers have interim fights. Aslong as he fights Perez,Price,Dallas or Sexton after I think everyone will be happy.

Is Price still fighting McDermott next?

I mean't the shocking decision Mcdermott got against fury. But Price/Mcdermott is no longer on the boxrec schedule.

The currently active Tommy Tolan is also a possibility, but he's already fighting an opponent.

The only other possibilities I can think of our Kevin McBride 9who beat Mike Tyson) or Eamon O'Kane (but it's far too soon for him).

Eammon O Kane isnt a heavyweight....

No chance, Price has far too much class for Fury.

Not to mention Tolan being a natural LMW althought fighting at MW

Price's chin has him him down a few times at top level in the amateurs, and I feel that will stop him getting past top European level.
However I don't feel Fury has the punch or the class to get past Price.
