    Out of tonight's fights I think I am most interested in David Price's, he needs to make a massive statement to come away with any credibility at all.

    He must know that this is the last chance saloon for his career.

    I don't know who he is fighting but I'm guessing it's an absolute bum

    David Price weighed in at 273 pounds for this fight apparently, seems like a desperate move to try and change something. I'm sure his opponent is complete rubbish, but how is that extra weight going to help him?

    The guy who beat him last time has failed a drugs test though, might give him a little more credibility.

    The card does have the look of a parade of local favourites until you get up towards the last two or three fights. Still, nothing better to do with the day off tomorrow!

    If you watch his last fight, it's hard to come to that conclusion imo. Teper didn't even look like he was in shape and barely had to expend any energy. A cheats a cheat, but Price looked like he would have been sparked out by anyone decent that night.

    I'm not trying to defend Price's performance there, he looked terrible, but just pointing out the drugs cheat issue. Unless he sorts out that glass jaw, he won't be going anywhere in terms of international level boxing, but might still trouble British title scene.

    Drugs aside in his last fight Prices jab was the worst most laziest looking jab I've seen in the last few years he just looked shot.

    At one point I thought he could go all the way but that first defeat just completely derailed him, I'm outside on the piss at the minute so I'm just hoping I can drag myself away to watch the while card, I've got a feeling I'll be watching it back tomorrow

    Price up first. Imagine a clump off him weighing 19 stone... i'll give that a swerve

    Price KO 2. Fair play to the fella for having a go. Price will never lose the fear of being hit

    It was the left hook that finished him off.

    It was the left hook that wobbled Makabu in the first place.

    Fair play to Bellew, it seemed like he was getting troubled especially when he got caught in the first round. He did however identify when he troubled Makabu, and showed a real killer instinct to finish it from there.

    Yes he won us over and is hyped up about the whole event. Good luck to him, no one can begrudge him this night.

    Just watched it, impressed by Bellew, but I guess that's why you don't make predictions after only seeing highlights and reading a guys record :P

    Makabu isn't a big cruiser obviously, but how on earth did Bellew make 175? Think he'll take one of the other champions next? Lebedev and Glowacki are also both southpaws, for what that's worth. No way those would be as easy as tonight but I would have said Bellew wouldn't have a chance and now I'm not sure.
