Price dominating the first two rounds. Sexton throwing a few flurries, but not enough to get anywhere close to winning a round so far. Some big right hands from Price too.
Class
And boom goes the dynamite.
Sexton went down once at the end of the third, and then goes down again twice in the fourth. Superb stuff from Price. I'm a cynical old coot, but I'm starting to get convinced by Price. Beautiful boxing, great shots and absolutely dominated Sexton as I imagined he would.
Brutal knockout
Everyone goes on about his chin but Price just carries on improving. To bang like that and yet still have the patience to use great boxing skills and fast hands for such a big lad in creating openings is class. European after a couple of British defences me thinks.
Impressed - looks like he's becoming the next Wladimir Klitschko. But has better punch variety and bit more hunger to go for the kill.
I think Maloney has a big role to play, time to progress Price a little more slowly than he wants to move forward. I'm not always the first to buy in to a fighter, but Price is looking like the real deal.
Yeah he looks good and has fast hands for a big fella.
He's in good hands with Franky w.
A mystery man backed Price to stop him inside 4 rounds and stuck 50 grand on it.
TOUCH :cool:
Price was dominant last night, sexton had no chance. Price is so big and strong, I dont see anybody giving him trouble for the time being. I hope he moves forward and challengers a top ranked euro fighter, he needs a big challenge now and keep on stopping everyone. I think Price could potentially be a world champion one day. I would love to see Price-Chisora one day, Chisora can take and give a punch and no doubt would be a great fight.
Price looks good but that chin is gonna let him down sooner or later

I can't believe that is the sole evidence of Price having a dodgy chin. I thought the way people had been carrying on that he had been sparked cold out. It's boxing and at any weight but especially heavyweight a decent connection on the chin will rock or knock many good fighters out. There is also the big gulf between amateur and pro and the fact that Price is continuing to improve to the point where already at this early stage of his pro career he is only a couple fights away from European level. Yeah he may get caught but it is just as likely that his good boxing skills and great power and physical advantages will be too much of a obstacle to overcome for opponents aiming to knock him out. He has a great jab and a monster uppercut, couple that with good body punching, and a decent defence and he to me he is beginning to look like the real deal.Quote:

This isn't enough proof for me to show Price has a dodgy chin. What it showed more for me, is that Price struggles with the speed, which he certainly won't find in against 95 percent of heavyweights. Price still does get caught easy for my liking, but dodgy chin, i'm not sure. He should be matched competitively but over a decent period of time. He's got a lot to learn and will benefit from Lennox Lewis's advice I read at the weekend. Long road, but he's definitely got the tools to keep sharpening.
One thing is CERTAIN for me. Price SMOKES Fury just as easy as he did Sexton.
I don't think his chin is such a big deal any more. If he gets sparked he gets sparked. The most important thing is - he is showing he is in a totally different class to this level of opponent. Although guys like Sexton/Fat John are not world-beaters, they are not mugs either and he is destroying them.
He's not just a big lump that bangs a bit. He is skillful, fit and has serious one-punch KO power.
I'd back him to iron some "top class" heavies now.

He's alright I guess....puts punches together well, but he gets drawn in a bit doesn't he? Gives up his height pretty quick. Seems like he'll be a solid heavyweight.
