Live preview via Facebook..

Couple of questions, apart from talksport is there another radio station that is commentating the whole card, talksport are only doing the main event.

I'm more interested in the Price fight and would like to listen to this on the radio as I do not have the ppv package and not really interested in streaming the fight

Also what approx is the time of the Price fight.

Thanks in advance

[Boxerbeetle]

Been looking forward to this all week. Beers in the fridge and missus going out for the evening, just me and the boxing (once I get the kids to bed)

[Rob3_142]

Yeah a closer look at the card, it's pretty underwhelming. Only really 4 fights of interest, and the main event is probably not as competitive than suggested.

Not worth the PPV monies. Will be a stream job I think.

[bigped]

Good first round from price picked some nice shots

[Boxerbeetle]

Encouraging start from Price. Actually landed a few decent jabs for a change.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He did the same against Povetkin.

[Covfefe]

Did the announcer say Price had challenged for a world title?

[dookus]

Kuzmin a bit of a plodder. Probably took the 2nd on workrate, though. 19-19

[Rob3_142]

Not sure Kuzmin has the same weaponry as Povetkin. Price big shots could do the job.

[DrDuke]

Price as always doesn't use his size. Why does he needs those enchanges inside with smaller guys?

[Boxerbeetle]

Price is gassed after a 20 second flurry ffs

[dookus]

Great 3rd. Price lands two big rights as Kuzmin follows him round. Price starting to feel the pace. Drawn I think. 29-29

[sir123]

Price blowing out his arse

[Covfefe]

What happened there...

[dookus]

Price feeling pace more in 4th. But lands the better shots and taking Kuzmin's so far, just about.

Price retired on his stool. What the fornicate?

[sir123]

I really dont understand Price. Does he not spar for hundreds of rounds? How can you be blowing out your arse after 3 rounds!

[Boxerbeetle]

Price with zero energy again probably. How can a fighter have an empty tank after 4 rounds?

[Dirk Kelly]

Has price just quit?

[DrDuke]

Damn, it started pretty interesting.

[CMDY]

Shame.
Price really was going it a go. He looked a shell a couple of years ago against Teper - rabbit in head lights - tonight looked a fluid fighter. Still he's taking a bit of punishment each time. I'd expect to see him out again unless not a serious injury.

[Covfefe]

Has price just quit?

Talking about a left bicep injury but they’re icing the right, so could be the right. Didn’t notice him seeming hurt in anyway. Looked knackered though.

[CMDY]

Damn, it started pretty interesting.

X2 Think the Russian would have broken him down, but still it was competitive. A pity.

[dookus]

Seems to be an injury. Price stopped throwing the straight right early on and they're applying ice to his right bicep
