| What impressed me most about Price's performance last night was his intelligence. He didn't feel the need to start throwing haymakers from the opening bell, instead boxing beautifully at range until he got the sniff and then went in for the kill. As i'm sure Sam Sexton will vouch, that was some knockout aswell.
After the fight Nelson and Bellew discussed whether he should go to fight a Klitschko immediately, with Bellew saying yes (especially Vitali) and Nelson disagreeing. I'd side with Nelson that it'd be very risky to take them on yet, instead I think he's best to face a good Top 10 or 5 ranked Heavyweight, maybe on American soil?
Far too good for Fury though and the way Fury couldn't relinquish his title fast enough to avoid Price shows that he knows just how good Price is now.

| First time I've seen Price fight and he looked very impressive .Fast hands , Smart and a good jab . Great uppercut and a cracking right to knock his opponent out .

| If I was Fury I'd be giving Price a WIDE berth as well.

| What about someone like Chris Arreola? I'd back Price by knockout tbh, but that says more about the HW division really. It's Klitschko or bum so it seems.
Side note, Roy Jones Junior to fight on the 30th June, in Poland, against some dude who is due to be serving jail time soon after the bout. So sad to see someone who was truly great still going like this

| So what do we make of Khan-Garcia then, subject to Khan getting his titles back?

Good fight, Khan should win and hopefully it will be for 3 titles. Garcia's only chance is the put pressure on Khan for every minute of the fight, Khan shoul outbox him to a stoppage or UD.

Like Peterson was meant to be?
Who do you expect him to fight? Garcia is the only belt holder left. Ortiz and Alexander have both moved up and Bradley has ducked him and is fighting Pac. Maybe Robert Gurerro but he's been inactive since beating Katsidis.

peterson fight should of been straightforward...khan had the gameplan right then didnt know how to handle him after he changed tactics...plus he was on drugs
khan always struggles against come forward fighters... peterson,maidana,limond.
id of liked to have seen him fight judah or maidana again(fight of the year)
but the division looks dead in the water now, time to move up and take on the big boys

| Sorry but IMHO.
Froch > Lewis, Calzaghe, Cooper etc etc etc the man is a national treasure. He was hall of fame before he wiped out Bute tonight. Good luck Groves etc following these footsteps, the man has taken on the very best in the world, won most, come up short a couple of times with his dignity well in tact. Now he's gone in against an undefeated world champion and blasted him well out of the water.
Thanks Carl.

He's been a hidden gem for so long, too long in fact. Hearn has finally got him out there and the public LOVE him! All he wants is to fight the best, whenever, wherever. Such a good bloke too.
It was brilliant to see my Facebook feed buzzing with people celebrating, most of them I didn't even have down as casual boxing fans.
I'm so chuffed he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Also, Rachael Cordingley -
