Fury isn't ducking me... he'd fight me tomorrow! Price amazingly defends rival



David Price on Tyson Fury: He would fight me tomorrow - boxing latest | Mail Online

Well looking forward to this. Price has done a very good job of beating ''common opponents'' and had cleaned out the domestic scene. I think he is the best in Europe (bar possibly Fury) and should batter Thompson (who is too passive to be a real test despite his track record).

Back on the common opponents theme, I'm sure we're all keen to see if Price can do a better job than Wladimir.

I'm guessing Price by 5 :cool:

you seem excited

ive put a bet on price to win by KO in the 5th

dunno why its a long shot really

i hope price wins obviously but id like to see a few rounds, it would be nice if he does a better job that the big clit

but price is so untested appart from his power i have absolutely no idea how the fight will go

I am looking forward to it, but what Thompson turns up will play a big part in how the fight unfurls. He was less impressive in his rematch with Wlad than the first fight and age must have played a part in that. Price needs rounds to test his stamina and round out his defence and pacing, and to stop people going on about his supposedly fragile chin. Thompson is a decent boxer but not good enough to keep Price off him and I can see him being knocked clean out long before he gets a chance to crumble, with the stoppage being far more impressive then Wlads 6 round leaning on and messing about. 3 rounds max. Gonna check the odds.

Price Focused To Send a Big Message With Thompson - Boxing News

Price rounds 1-3 is a 6/4 shot.

Considering Thompson gave up then basically quit against Wlad, I can't see him having much ambition for this fight.

Soon as he feels the power of Price it'll be goodnight vienna, whether he's genuinely stunned or not.

Round 1 @ 15/2

its a different fight tho, he took jab after jab against wlad and looke like he had had enough

there may or may not be more power in prices punches but he will definately be taking less

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson spoiled for a few rounds, however, with no title on the line, getting booed to fuck by a bunch of scousers and getting cracked in the head by a thundering giant will be enough to make Thompson think "fuck this for a game of soldiers" pretty quick.

Rooting for Price to impressively KO Thompson.
At this point, I'm looking for new, real challenges to Wlad..... not retreads from the past.

Go Price!

Price is young, big, a big puncher, a great finisher, seems to enjoy his work, but against limited opposition. Thompson has a big edge in experience which you have to consider.
Thompson is 41, but Thompson's second attempt against Wlad says more about Wlad than Thompson's age. Wlad was saying, "Tony, don't come back again, it's only going to get worse."
I've never been high on Thompson, and being the soft hearted guy that I am, I don't want to see him get bombed out under five rounds, and if it goes five rounds Thompson has a chance.
