David Price knocked out AGAIN by Tony Thompson...

KO in round 5. Ref stops the fight off of a standing 8. Why did they give Price that fight against Thompson


That was boneheaded stupid. I hope they didn't ruin that young man's career. They didn't even damage Tyson Fury that early...

So: Fury vs. Thompson?

[toe2toe]

Exciting and entertaining scrap. Kudos to both men. Thompson is too much experienced for Price.

Tyson Fury was fighting better opponents earlier in his career than Price. He fought McDermot after only being a pro 8 months, ok some felt he lost but he fought him again and deffinitly beat him. Fury has learnt the hard way whereas Price was protected for a reason.

Good fight. Price was done when Thompson got up in the 2nd. He caught him with his best punch and couldn't put him away. His confidence left him right after

But Price fought McDermot after 12 fights, not that much difference between Fury and his 8 pro fights. Plus Price ko'd McDermot in the first round....

It took Price 3 years to get to McDermot. Fury fought him in his first year as a pro when McDermot still wanted to fight

I don't think it made much difference. But then again, Price is only in his 15th fight. He shouldn't have been in there, at this time, with Thompson... McDermot is no Thompson. Not at all.

His career has moved slower than Furys. Fury fought Chisora in his 15th fight and that was after only 3 years... It took Price 4 to get the balls to fight above british retired jouneymen (Chisora was supposed to be Wlads opponent at that time but Wlad pulled out)

I'm glad you made a thread with a title which gives away the result of the fight. No need to use the pre existing Price -Thompson thread stickied at the top of the page. Tut tut

Did anyone expect anything else?

Probably not best to logon to a boxing forum if you are trying to avoid finding out the result of a boxing match though

[ykdadamaja]

LOLOLOL... we are on top of these things. Breaking news, breaking news!

[tysonesque]

Pretty much the result I expected.

You can't go from fighting useless British journeymen to a legitimate world class fighter and expect to win - especially when you are as limited as Price is.

Never rated the guy in the first place and his lack of punch resistance and poor stamina confirm that he is European level at the absolute best. Basically, any reasonable heavyweight who can take a punch is going to walk straight through Price.

No idea where he goes from here, but there's no way he will get anywhere near a world title. Fury would probably take him apart as well.

Haha tbf i'd already seen the result but i have been caught out with it before on here. Should really be putting spoiler alerts in titles.

Ftr if I was him I would take another career path but this is simply not that big a deal in the division or in boxing. The best observation made on the night was actually made by Thompson. To paraphrase, you are not going to make a Lennox Lewis overnight.
I noticed right away that Price had his body turned different(Lennox like) and for some reason was not
getting his lead foot on the outside. He's still a work in progress. I think he tried to change to much and when it worked to get the kd and Thompson got up his brain filled with spinal fluid and he lost it upstairs.

In the end it was what his 15th fight. He never retired so if he still has the will to fight and copy the style of Lewis/ Wlad then he should take the time and do it.

On a side note I cant believe how early these two were gassed.
