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

[ross]

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

Oh well. Good effort David

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