David Price vs. Tony Thompson II at Liverpool's Echo Arena on July 6

I'll be in the minority and say that Price has nowhere to go but up. Thompson might be emboldened by his previous KO victory, but he's just a twice-beaten-by-Wlad retread. For the division's sake, I hope Price wins.

Price reminds me of Wlad before he learned how to clinch effectively.

Know what, good for Price. He could of course run back to the confines and comfort of fall guys and knocking over stunt men but really what would that prove? In this day and age its good to see a guy cut to the chase and try to right the ship. Thompson should have stuck to his guns and not followed him back home but money talks.

Yes kudos to Price. It seems like it was a fluke punch he was caught with so why not get right back in there and avenge the loss ? It was good enough for Lennox Lewis against Rahman so its good enough for Price as well.

Exactly what I said... with different words.
Yeah... good for Price.

Thompson doesn't strike me as a guy who would go in thinking "all I have to do is hit him" and press the attack. It'll be Prices pace to set and Tony isn't that far removed from knowing his roll and that his last win might have been the very last hoorah.

Maybe in skin color. But not as fighter. Price ability to take a punch is worse than Wlad. Look at there amateur careers. To my knowledge Wlad hardly went down. Price was like a fucking whore. He was always going down

It wasn't that Thompson is here for a payday as said above, there was a rematch clause in the first contract.

This is a good choice for Price.


Every says "no chin" but remember what actually happened, it was a freak punch that bust his eardrum.

He he never took a shot on the chin and never got beaten down.

Doesn't matter where he gets hit. He just has poor punch resistance. There's just no way around that.

Maybe but, he can work on defenses.

I don't personally think it was poor punch resistance. Just a weird punch, I'll judge when he gets Hilton the chin solid.

He needs to learn how to fight!

He lnows how to punch but he needs to be dragged in to a fight. He needs some tough old journey men that cant punch.

Thompson was challenging Wlad last year, thats not the level he should have been thrown in against after facing the likes of Sexton, Harrison and Skelton.

He hasnt learnt anything about how to come back from adversity during a fight. He got caught, went down and couldnt do anything about it.

His punch resistance will let gim down again. I thought the shape Thompson came in was disgusting and he had no desire to put a fight up, just collect some money. Even then he still managed to connect. If he omes in in shape next time after this mini career revival then Prices career is all but over against a 40 something who wasnt good enough to win a title.
