Is Price getting Ko'd again?

[Memphis]

Is Lewis actually in Prices corner then?

Price takes cautious to new levels for a few rounds, Thompson becomes an inactive punch bag by about round 5 and Price wins a UD.

[Beanz]

Unlike Fury, Price will not need to get Thompson in a headlock to knock him out. If Thompson thinks he can intimidate Price by rushing him then Price knocks him out within 3 rounds. Whatever style Thompson employs Price will at some point land with a big shot. Bearing in mind how hard he hits Thompson will not just be dazed but fully unconscious before the 12th. Price by explosive KO round 5.

[ross]

I said when Thompson was announced as his opponent in the first fight its too much of a jump in class.

He hasn't had to deal with adversity yet, not learnt anything unlike Fury who has. He hasn't had to come back from being hurt or dropped and to be honest it doesn't look like he's capable of it either because he had the chance against Thompson but he was in such bad shape, the ref didn't give him the chance to hold the round out.

I think Thompson stops him again and I think Price will shit himself when Thompson pressures him. He's looked shaky in fights against Skelton and Sexton when pressured.

Like someone has already said, Price was on top in the last fight and still got stopped.

You're an absolute faggot for fury.

Fury hasn't fought anyone close to as good as Thompson.

Getting dropped by cruisers and shit.

Once Fury takes on a fight he isn't expected to win (like price did), then you can talk about him being good.

Hahaha! What is wrong with you, you pissy little bitch!

Both Johnson and Cunningham are "close to as good as Thompson"

Get over yourself. Price has got as far as he's going. Fell at the first ex title challenger he faced.

As for Price not being expected to win against Thompson! Are you for fucking real?

Take alook at this and remember hard, every fucker in here expected Price to smash Thompson to bits, you yourself even expected Price to win in the second!

Price in the 2nd

Hahahahahahaha

i would like to see price win by knockout

i have a feeling its going to go the same way tho

i have taken punches off heavyweights absolutely nowhere near this kind of level and they hit very hard when it doesnt look like they are putting anything into it

and people can tell me it burst his ear and all that but the fact remains this is top class hw boxing and a top class hw boxer with any kind of prospect needs to be able to take punches like that

[Cressa121]

Thompson was levels above anything Price had fought previously, nothing has changed on that front. He should be confident of repeating and looked in good shape last week at the Gavin fight. I'm not sure how much of an effect 8 weeks with Lewis will have on Price right now, it's a totally different prospect trying to implement new things you've been working on in the gym come fight night. I could easily see a more patient, disciplined Price winning this one but I'm leaning towards Thompson stopping him again. Credit to Price for jumping straight back in there though, I hope it works and he gets the win. I'm just not sure of it.

Price was a 1/12 shot with the bookies. He was expected to win comfortably. If Tyson fought Thompson Id expect him to win comfy. I expect Price to win easily in the rematch but Thompson looks in a lot better shape then he did last time. I could be very wrong.

Skill wise Johnson and Cunningham are as good if not better then Thompson but Punch wise they are not even close. Johnson and Cunningham cant punch for shit so Thompson is a far bigger risk. Fury has not been in the ring with a puncher - ever wonder why?

[Dia bando]

Price has never had the best chin,! but the punch that done him landed behind the ear,
that's the thing with HW boxing big men big punches.!
Put it this way I'm not putting a bet on the fight.

[El Kabong]

"It wasn't a nothing punch, it burst his ear"......well big whoopty fuck. Gloves can trap air and screw up a fighter's ear it's happened before. Furthermore Tony Thompson doesn't have huge power, this isn't a Lamon Brewster or a Corrie Sanders or a Sam Peter or a David Haye kind of guy, this is a guy who has just over a 62% KO ratio it's not like Price is in there with Earnie Shavers or anything.

I think Price will eventually right himself but I think even if he was to win vs Thompson he will have points of uncertainty and panic. Price will most definitely get hurt in the fight...whether or not he recovers is up to his will, determination, and how confident he is in his corner.

Price is a good heavyweight, but Tony Thompson is CRIMINALLY underrated mainly because people don't want to give any credence to just how Great Wladimir Klitschko is. This is a very tough fight for Price psychologically. I hope for his sake that he remembers to protect himself, he is deliberate with his punches and stays out of danger. Pump the jab for the first few rounds, settle down, don't look to throw those long loopy hooks to the body, be quick with your punches and get back in a defensive position. If Price redeems himself that's a huge step forward in his career, but if he loses again all is not lost, it'll set him back a ways but he can still make noise in the division.

....as for how Fury would do vs Thompson.... he wouldn't fare much better. Thompson is a much more polished boxer than Fury and Tyson would get a boxing lesson. Thompson is a very good fighter, very difficult for most to beat. he's big he has a great jab, he's a southpaw, and he's got very solid defense and a pretty solid chin too.

[Fenster]

I don't agree that the punch landed in a perfect spot, I just think Price has a shit chin.

If Price gets caught he's in trouble, don't think him being ko'd is anything to do with class or levels, he is a massive puncher so has a great chance of reversing the result this time. In fact I'm certain Price is one of the biggest punchers in boxing, only GGG, who can obviously knockdown walls, probably hits harder.

Price KO 1-4. (although the 9/2 about Thompson ironing him again is bloddy tempting)

Whoa! Steady there, that can be construed as a compliment.

I compliment Haye's ability more often than not it's his attitude that I hate. Haye has all the skill in the world and he COULD be a solid #3 heavyweight in the world and earn another shot vs Wlad IF he did more fighting and less talking. I'm shocked that Haye has not taken advantage of his skill set more in the division...its a shame for his fans that he has the attitude of a spoiled loser

[El Kabong]

Price KO 1-4. (although the 9/2 about Thompson ironing him again is bloddy tempting)

For those odds I'd take Thompson. Thompson was in trouble in the first fight, but is Price on solid footing mentally? Once you get broke like that from one punch your psyche has to be all fucked up, lots of doubt in his mind I am certain.

[ryanman]

The bet for this fight is either fighter to win in rounds 1-6 at 5/6 with Skybet.
Thompson will come out swinging and we'll find out a lot more about what Price is made of.

[Memphis]

Was Thompson in trouble in the first fight? I must have missed that. If anyone is getting sparked before half way I can only see that being Price I'm afraid.
