He'll do well to get past Lucas Browne.

I would rather see price vs towers, just because of towers size, than price vs an old old Skelton. Price should be moving past this level by now though! Lucas Browne should give towers a decent test

It's a strange fight to put together.
Two guys who regularly train together, and with the same Promotor, fighting away in Hong Kong.
You have to be concerned what there is for the loser going forward.

towers would be destroyed by price, price isnt just power he'd be way to quick for towers and i'd be suprised if it went past 6 i dont think towers had much amateur experiance if any where as price had plenty and storming it domestically at the moment.

I think it's a good fight, though not venue. Both need to step up, but have shown a good few limitations. If Towers wins this it'll be huge for him. I wouldn't back him against Sexton at the moment far in less the top four UK guys

I don't deny it's a good fight mate - but Hatton Promos only have two heavyweights, both useful, so why pitch them against each other ?

Nicely done little video here with Big Richie Towers who is over sparring with big Wlad:

Indeed, he says Price is well above him at the moment.

Price would decapitate Towers. Complete mismatch if it were to happen.

Would you actually like to see that fight? I certainly wouldn't. Did you not see Towers vs Tony? Like Yid says, Towers may have his hands full with Lucas Browne - that's a very good match, to be fair. These guys are pretty much rank novices albeit with the size, strength and power to consume the fat journemen they are served up to feast on. Don't be fooled into thinking they are anything like ready for the likes of Price.
Was very surprised he survived that fight against Tony. If the same happens vs Browne and he's in that kind of trouble again I see him getting ko'd.
