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

[ross]

Price never even got the chance to learn how to cope with pressure, he looked a little odd in the sexton and skelton fights at points but even then, the punch he got caught with wasn't big! Anyone who was a level above a retired british level journeyman would have wiped the floor with him. Rolling around on his back like a turtle

Don't try and fool yourselves that Fury wouldn't have done exactly the same. Thompson took Prices best shots and he's miles away from being in shape...

I did have big doubts about Price because of the dire opponents he's faced in the past, but I really couldn't have predicted that. I am pretty shocked to say the least.

On this evidence, you've got to make Fury favourite to beat him. In fact, I don't think he could handle the likes of Chisora and certainly not Haye. From being the next heavyweight champion of the world, he's now not even in the top 3 heavyweights in the UK.

I really don't think Price can come back from this. If Thompson can knock him out with a single punch, I certainly don't like his chances against any credible opponent.
