Price is overrated and rushed way to quickly into the spotlight against a veteran southpaw who has better skills and can adapt. And I'm not exactly sure what Lewis did to him but he made Price a 1 handed fighter who's jab and cardio were non existent. It makes me appreciate the Klitschko's that much more because they know how to use their size and brain. Advice to Price is fly under the radar, stay away from Lewis and find a trainer that can mold you into a more complete big man.
Price tired too quickly something was wrong with him, Thompson landed some body shots but his attacks were not that great. Price just needs to rebuild at a domestic level and start working on his conditioning.
Price will recover if he truly loves boxing. I still think he beats Fury. I think he is on the right track with Lewis but he rushed into the rematch. Fight someone like Fres Oquendo next a good boxer light on power and not too sturdy.Quote:

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. ;DQuote:

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.
Completely subjective and correct.Quote:

Aside from Price, last night showed me one thing - How good Wladimir is. Height, reach, power gets you where? Knocked out by Tony Thompson. Wlad has so much more.
He doesn't seem that broad for a guy not far off 7' tall.
He seemed like he was in full control of his career until TT KOd him in the first fight.
I wanted Price to win last night but I was almost certain he was gonna lose.
Personally I don't think he can go much further, but I still believe he would destroy Fury inside a few rounds.
Provided he gets his stamina back, because if there is one thing I give to Fury that's better than Price, it's stamina.
True. But Fury has not felt that kind of pressure. I'm almost certain he will fold when he does.Quote:

Are we really surprised price has stamina issues?
How many of davids fights go the distance?
The body shots beat david and the lovely timed combitnations.
Davids a nice guy but he will never beat tony thompson..ever.
Maloney needsto rebuild him up again by getting him to be a better boxer and working on his defense.
Should david go on prizefighter?
Or perhaps just cash out against fury.
Wlad is world level. Big difference.Quote:

Give wilder and malik scott a go at Wlad and dont be surprised if a ko happens before 4.
Either way, wlad is a better fighter now and price has a long, long way to go.
Fury is alot closer.
I agree, I really like thompsons interview after the first price fight, he made some great points and didnt come across as a crazy arrogant nut who thinks he can do everything, was very realistic and the journalists there a hard time for writing him off so easily... hats of tony I find him a very likeable fellow, he deserves this minor success and I hope he gets some big money, although outside of haye and klitschkos I dont think there is a lot of money out there for him, I doubt fighting fury would even make him that muchQuote:
