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

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....Quote:

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)Quote:

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.
TT now has some very interesting and lucrative options. Does he go after Vitali so that he can have the distinction of having been put to sleep by both brothers? Does he fight Fury in what could be a mega purse for both? Does he go on some kind of Euro tour? Haye?
Thing is, he has become a very good earner and is making a ton of money. He can make one last big killing or he can stretch it out some, but either way, he can earn BIG money. Good for him.
And for those who thought the fix was in, hardly, Price is now yesterday’s news. Too bad, because I though he could be “somebody.”
Wow!
This surprises me as I figured the young tall gun would make the necessary adjustments and get the ol' tough fatty.
Good for Thompson, very bad for Price.
I really thought pre-Thompson 1 that Price was the far superior prospect to Tyson Fury.
Now, Fury is sittin pretty. I say Tony should fight Fury next. Only makes sense.
