not bad £2000 for a decent seat

So... What now for David Price?

back to domestic or european level!!!

It was a terrible decision to take on the rematch. They should have left well alone and spent the next 12-18 months building up his record and his confidence and waiting for the heavyweight scene to sort itself out, as it undoubtedly will very soon when the Klitchsko brothers get bored and pack it in.

Now Price needs to regroup - Get himself a new trainer, tell Lewis to stay away from things and go beat up a couple of willing punchbags..... Then, hopefully, he can bring some new technique to the ring and then be able to challenge some half decent fighters without crumbling once Plan A goes belly up.

Its not impossible he can turn things around, stranger things have happened (look at Frank Bruno), but he's going to have to put in a lot of hard work from here on in.

It's just a case of what everyone outside the north west has known for a bit. Price is vastly over rated. He'll be fighting domestic fights for a bit, beats up enough nobodies until comes across another half decent fighter who will finish him.

What a great fight between Matthews and Coyle.

I thought Coyle was going to easily win and then he fell for a sucker punch./

Proper boxing.

Looking forward to seeing Kell Brook next.

The ref did seem very keen to stop it.
Then low and behold it's just happened again.

In fact I'm starting to think boxing on the whole has gone soft. I'm not saying we should go back to the days of only a proper knock out should stop a fight but my god we have gone to far the other way.

I agree I thought both stoppages were a bit premature.

Overall I was more impressed by Brook this time around but now it's time for him to step up in class. I reckon the fighter he'll be facing next will be Shane Mosely.

Really?!

Coyle was never ever going to get up from that punch

Up there with Froch Kessler as fight of the year for me

The Campbell fight (term used loosely!) was a farce. Talk about playing to the crowd. Ive heard hes after a big step up in his next fight. My mams going to get the boxing gloves on and take him on!

While I think he could do well in his boxing career I thought he would have had a bit of a test at least.

was gutted for coyle lastnight, hope he gets the rematch he deserves, won almost every round and i thought he would tire but he just kept on going!! can never write of derry mathews though and thats boxing!

on the stoppage think there was 20 seconds to go of the round, the ref had a good look in his eyes and has a better view than us but i think he could of survived the round

kell brook got the win, thought it was going to be over early doors with his crisp combos and picking jones off at will, but i do not rate jones at all, who had ever heard of him before??? kell brook needs a real test and for all that i rate him he struggled to impress in both fights and think alexander coulf of been a step too far.
also why did the ref step in for jones on when jones hadnt even gone down previous to the stoppage??? its not an amateur bout, he didnt touch the floor? not the first time ive seen this recently. if the fighter goes down then yes is a count to 10 but stepping in and giving a standing count?? thats just giving the fighter a get out

hear its mosley of senchenko up next for him.

Even though he was up at 5 you mean?

And? Was he in a fit state to carry on?

No

You were incorrect in your post AS HE HAD GOT UP.
Now the fact the ref was soft in another story. I mean 15 seconds to the bell and the ref stops it with a boxer getting up at 5?. To quote yourself 'Really?'

It strikes me that Coyle could have danced a jig and the ref would have stopped it simply because Derry Matthews had tagged him and that was enough apparently.
