| Misquoted my backside.
Froch is pedalling backwards faster than Wiggins goes forward there. He made a comment, realised he's going to cop some backlash for it and made up some story about context.

He got stripped of his title but the fight went ahead and he won in the 6th round. I don't like him as a person but as a fighter he's potentially the best fighter in the sport. Gary Russell Jnr is anther American to look out for.

Misquote, taken out of context, or whatever, Froch isn't far wrong. Khan is pretty much finished.
His record now reads as a very average one. His only positive remaining is that he is rarely involved in a dull fight, so from that perspective promotors, especially American ones, will always be willing to pay him decent cash to fight some high profile clashes - However, it now seems obvious, that he will lose more often than not and so he could wind up with a career being a punchbag for up and coming young US fighters.
Realistically, apart from that option, his only other choice would be to come back to the UK with his tail between his legs and try to get a shot at Kell Brook......I actually think Khan would stand a good chance in that one - Brook lacks real power and Khan would land plenty on him, so it would make for a good, even money fight.

| Price v Harrison, October 18. Don't see how this serves Price's development.

A name associated with not throwing a punch against David Haye.

| Price v Harrison makes sense.....Price wants to earn a Lonsdale belt, so a defence against Harrison, then, if successful, against Chisora, is an obvious plan.
As for the bout itself, Price should win, and if he is as good as I and many think he is, then he should do it comfortably inside the distance.....However, with Harrison there is always that air of unpredictability and that he might just turn up with a bit of heart and make a fight of it.
The thing you could never deny with Harrison is/was that he is technically a decent boxer - He is just frightened to death of being hit and has little idea of what to do when tagged.
Logic says Price comfortably inside 4 rounds, but you feel that this could be the time when we discover if Price has a chin to take a half decent shot.

| Price with plenty to spare inside 4 rounds IMHO. The man has a bloody sledgehammer in that right hand, moves better than Audley, is willing to get in range (unlike Audley) and is bigger. Bar a miracle left hand haymaker from Harrison (which he will have to throw first, if it has any chance of connecting!) Price will see him off.

| Tony Bellew to fight Edison Miranda on 8/09/12. Darren Barker will headline the bill.
Bellew has signed a 1 fight deal with Matchroom until his dispute with Warren is resolved.
