David Price knocked out AGAIN by Tony Thompson...

[BIG H]

Probably not best to logon to a boxing forum if you are trying to avoid finding out the result of a boxing match though

LOLOLOL... we are on top of these things. Breaking news, breaking news!

Pretty much the result I expected.

You can't go from fighting useless British journeymen to a legitimate world class fighter and expect to win - especially when you are as limited as Price is.

Never rated the guy in the first place and his lack of punch resistance and poor stamina confirm that he is European level at the absolute best. Basically, any reasonable heavyweight who can take a punch is going to walk straight through Price.

No idea where he goes from here, but there's no way he will get anywhere near a world title. Fury would probably take him apart as well.

TT now has some very interesting and lucrative options. Does he go after Vitali so that he can have the distinction of having been put to sleep by both brothers? Does he fight Fury in what could be a mega purse for both? Does he go on some kind of Euro tour? Haye?
Thing is, he has become a very good earner and is making a ton of money. He can make one last big killing or he can stretch it out some, but either way, he can earn BIG money. Good for him.

And for those who thought the fix was in, hardly, Price is now yesterday’s news. Too bad, because I though he could be “somebody.”

Wow!

This surprises me as I figured the young tall gun would make the necessary adjustments and get the ol' tough fatty.

Good for Thompson, very bad for Price.

I really thought pre-Thompson 1 that Price was the far superior prospect to Tyson Fury.

Now, Fury is sittin pretty. I say Tony should fight Fury next. Only makes sense.

Agreed, but Fury is obviously a hell of a lot tougher and has a better engine. Both he and Price are huge, cumbersome and lacking variety, and in fairness Thompson is a hell of a lot better than anyone Tyson has fought yet. Haven't been paying attention, but if Fury-Haye isn't looking likely Thompson should absolutely gun for that fight.

i picked the round and winner .

Such a shame.
David should have been sparring long rounds and working on stamina.
He needs to really review what path he goes down now.

I did also, but tbh I still say he smashes Fury.

It sure what happened, he seemed to just run out of steam, but he didn't do a hat deal.

I suspect he cut corners on the road work.

Tony thompson is a good boxer, he always has been, I dont know why people have been so quick to bash him in the past, he put in a good showing v wlad first time round, showed his age the 2nd time but he's still got sometihng left obviously, hats off to tony I hope he makes some big money before he retires

Theres a surprise, what with your incredible boxing knowledge an all

[Fenster]

Losing like that was worse than having a china chin exposed. He basically got tired and quit.

Haha tbf i'd already seen the result but i have been caught out with it before on here. Should really be putting spoiler alerts in titles.

Ftr if I was him I would take another career path but this is simply not that big a deal in the division or in boxing. The best observation made on the night was actually made by Thompson. To paraphrase, you are not going to make a Lennox Lewis overnight.
I noticed right away that Price had his body turned different(Lennox like) and for some reason was not
getting his lead foot on the outside. He's still a work in progress. I think he tried to change to much and when it worked to get the kd and Thompson got up his brain filled with spinal fluid and he lost it upstairs.

In the end it was what his 15th fight. He never retired so if he still has the will to fight and copy the style of Lewis/ Wlad then he should take the time and do it.

On a side note I cant believe how early these two were gassed.
