David Price v Tony Thompson- Saturday Night- Boxnation- Fight/Chat Thread

[ross]

Thompson taking Price into the late rounds seems to be where the value is. With Price winning in rounds 9-12. Or a knockout in the first 60 secs with Price at 16/1 and Thompson at 200/1. If Price has a chin that is as vulnerable as people think this is the fight to bet against him in . @ross?

Well, like I said, if Thompson has any ambition but coming in 18lb heavier than his last fight doesnt look good!

If Price has absolutely any trouble with Thompson hes not going anywhere but Thompson isnt here to fight so you shouldnt have to worry

What time's the Price fight?

Fights like this where they are clearly taking a journeyman type to build a record on, they should offer the opponent a bonus for each round he completes and or a knockout win. Thompson was probably retired in his head, someones offered him a guaranteed approx £40,000 to just turn up and hes done a little bit of training, enough to make sure he doesnt get hurt but at the site of any danger from Price hes going to find a way out and it wouldnt surprise me if its by disqualification or staying on his stool between rounds with an injury.

Thompson is just a washed up fighter with no ambition and Price will probably blow him away in a couple of rounds at most.

They really need to put Price in with a serious opponent who hits back and is in there to win. I don't see Thompson doing anything other than trying to survive.

You are right about Thompson being over the hill, but short changing him on ambition is wrong. He's been in with Wlad twice, if that isn't ambitious, what is?
This fight is not meaningless, if Price bangs out Thompson within four rounds he will be on the fast track to Wald or Vitali.

Burkey looks pretty good for being off 7 years

Looking forward to this one. The little guys usually bring it. Sparks should fly.

Between 9:30 and ten depending on the undercard

Interesting read from GB Boxing Captain Tom Stalker on the amateur Price - Fury fight which he was at fighting on the same card


"Tyson Fury has been slagging off David Price on Twitter.
I can understand Tyson building the proposed fight up to put bums on seats and earn a big pay day but David Price will beat him and beat him well.
I fought on the same card when Pricey beat him last time. There was a great atmosphere. It was in the ABA North West Counties finals in Wythenshawe Forum, Manchester in 2006 and the place was ram packed to the rafters.




There were two big crews of fans from Liverpool and Manchester and I think it was almost as tasty outside the ring as in. Pricey totally outboxed Tyson that night and he will do the same. He may be 6ft 8ins tall but Pricey moves like a middleweight, he's lean and he's got great technique. Tyson is good but I think Pricey is the best equipped to take on the Klitschkos if they hang around"

Can't wait for this fight. Big weight advantage Thompson is carrying. Will be a good fight if Thompson comes out on form.

The Independent was a good read. But I have one disagreement with the article. What the hell is the Independent writer on about? Saying the Klits "have transformed into two of the finest heavyweights in any era."

That is a very foolhardy statement. That I disagree with. Not wishing to derail this thread.

With all due respect, Stalker is talking about a 17 year old novice being beaten by a 22 year old experienced international. Stalker is yet to have his first taste of the pros and is yet to realise its a whole different ball game from the amateurs and is not in the slightest taking in to account the vast difference in experience the two now have in the pros. Fury is levels above Price and is still only 24!

All he has said is Fury got well outboxed but like I say, that was a novice 17 year old with a handfull of fights.

[IamInuit]

Price has looked good so far but I'm dieing to see what happens when he gets touched.
