I hope so too!
It will be like watching Bruno.
Price needs to stop before he gets SERIOUSLY hurt in the ring one time.
Price has no inside game and seemed reluctant again to throw his greatest weapon..The Jab.
Hell Price needs to pack it in shit he is going to get hurt 5 times he's been sparked best to think call it a day.:vd:
I watched it with great interest, firstly because David is such a likable bloke, and secondly because Kalle Sauerland is my favourite boxing promoter of all time, and Kalle has taken him on, obviously as a gamble in the piss poor alphabet heavyweight stakes. I had a sentimental bet on David, at ridiculous odds, and at one stage I thought I might be a winner, not to be. The first shot he took was hard, he dropped his hands, the ref did nothing and then Povetkin lummoxed him. To be fair I wouldn't have liked to have been that ref, so you can't really blame him, I hope David retires now and good luck to a nice bloke in a less risky future career.
Sauerland dumped Price years ago.
Fair play to the big fella, can't believe he went past the 9 minute mark, over 12 minutes is a borderline heroic performance. Well done.
Price could still stay make money fighting a Chisora or a Joe Joyce..he has all the tools but can’t fix the tyre.
Price has a future, he can take some confidence in his performance and can get some wins at domestic level.
Yeah this fight stole the show after an anti climactic main event.
I predicted that this would be a devastating ko like everyone else and it was one of the most brutal finishes Ive seen. I was worried we would be deprived of that kind of finish when I saw who the ref was but ian fosters incompetence worked the other way this time and he couldn't get in quick enough to stop a defenceless man from nearly getting decapitated. Povetkin is brutal. He's has a lot of kos like that and price has been on the end of similar aswel.
The fight itself was entertaining and competitive. Price seemingly had all the physical advantages but got greedy when dropped the first time. I think everyone got carried away with price's knockdown. I dont think povetkin was out on his feet. He was going for a home run right hand, got caught by a left hook and lost his balance. He was thrown around a lot in the Klitschko fight too where his balance made it look worse than it was. The finish came when POV got round the guard to stun price and povetkin never been one to let an opponent off the hook.
it was a good fight to watch and price should be proud for giving one of the best fighters in the division a test.
Price will get hurt if you keep gassing him up. He cannot do it. He is not even a Eubank Jr. type who just clowns in the ring and loses rounds as a result. Price is not an elite, professional fighter. He will get seriously hurt one day. He needs to stop, and stop NOW!
