The official RBR thread 7th June 2014

David Price in round 3 now. Winning every round up to now but breathing heavier than I'd expect in the corner.

[lefty]

Hmm this is awkward

[rossij8]

Be interesting if it goes into 5 or 6 - will price blow out and panic?

[gilgamesh]

Hey fellas just tuned into the card. How's Price been so far?

[lefty]

Dont you fuckers go into the CS, that's all im gonna say.

[jameswilson]

Had no idea this wasn't live sorry.

I saw the spoiler thread. I didn't click on it though. Are there Live fights on this card or is just repeats?

They're showing the Price fight on tape delay from Germany, the rest of the show is the Hall-Butler card from Newcastle

Edit: Bunce has just confirmed the Braehmer fight will be shown after the Hall-Butler fight.

[jameswilson]

Think this is the kind of guy he needed to be in with in his fight after the Thompson fight really. He seemed to be breathing very heavily, but he seemed to be breathing equally heavily from round 3 through to like round 8 so maybe he is just one of these guys who always looks knackered. I remember Junior Witter always being a very heavy breather in the corner.

[expe]

That will have done Price the world of good, mentally knowing that he can get through the 10 rounds will be huge for him. Before tonight he'd only boxed 50 rounds as a professional, this is the sort of fight he needed instead of the Thompson fight, it wasn't a great fight to watch, but he's done 10 rounds against a decent opponent.

Good to see Price get 10 rounds under his belt but it was pretty uninspired from the start and Tommy Brooks said the same 3 things on loop,if Price can't get bettert than that in UK then by God our trainers must be hopeless

Yeah it was a very "by the numbers" performance for David Price. He got the job done, but there was nothing spectacular about it. But of course with the 2 KO losses, the guy just needs a win.

He definitely has a lot of improvement still ahead of him.

looking forward to this fight! mckenzie vs dickinson

[Datsue]

That's the fuckin' way to do it.

[broomy7s]

Agree that is exactly what he needed. He did look knakered from the start but got through the 10 without any problems. It seemed to me that he was attempting to work on a few defensive moves throughout the fight. I'd like to see at least 2 more fights at this level. Maybe go for the eu tittle at the end of the year.

[jameswilson]

Steve Bunce is on form today.

[ShadrachSimmo]

13/2 ovil rnds 1-3. When will the bookies stop giving us free money on this man.

[gilgamesh]

That was a great punch. McKenzie is now the British and Commonwealth Cruiserweight Champ

My "...way to do it" was in regards to Ovill's right hand, mate.

Just to clear up any confusion.

[Datsue]

Also: how could anyone not love McKenzie?

Lovely fella.

[n1ebf]

Oville took him out then hey? Had Sky cancelled for about a year so don't think i can get allegedly, even tho still got a Skybox. Might give them a ring as I fancy the Cotto fight later.

[Jimmyfreestyler]

Great knockout

[gilgamesh]

Also: how could anyone not love McKenzie?

Lovely fella.

This is the first I've ever seen the guy, I'm instantly a fan. He seems a very likeable guy, and a tremendous puncher too boot.

[n1ebf]

was looking at Saunders' opponent's record earlier. 2 years older and done nothing of note. Finnish. Sounds like a walkover tbh - although that's actually unfair on Saunders I guess!
