Anyone who has followed Price's career in the ametures won't be surprised by this loss. He's been dropped countless times, and despite all the hype that's surrounded him since he turned pro I've always been skeptical as to whether he was durable enough to make it in the pro game. Some people will point to the likes of Khan, and Wlad whom managed to rebuild their careers after suffering bad KO losses early in their careers, but Price isn't as young as Khan or Wlad were and, he doesn't have the sound technique, and a world class trainer like Wlad had. I bet Fury is pi55ing himself whilst also being slightly annoyed that his potential payday with Price now looks to have gone out of the window.

It was an absolute shocker. There's always been talk of a glass chin but that really didn't look too heavy a shot. Of course that's easy to say from my sofa..

I agree about Fury. Wonder what he's like on Twitter? I know he's s bit crazy on there anyway!

agree fury will be kicking himself... should strike while the fight is hot like chisora and haye did.

but of a funny shot round by the ear

but always been the question marks about his chin, but lets face it if you get hit by a heavyweight clean your going to go anyway

It wasn't clean though was it? That was a fight to get Price some rounds and get some work done I think. Shouldn't have been a risk at all. I doubt many other guys would go down to that shot...

no it wasnt clean it was around the ear which can affect the equilibrium and no one gets up from them.

if you was looking at the fight on paper you would of backed thompson really with his record vs prices.. shouldnt of been such a shock..it was a step up for price and he failed.

still has options though as he has the british belt,... bet he goes for chisora next.

If, as suggested, Price has suffered a perforated ear drum, then it looks pretty obvious that this can be put down as pretty much a freak KO, because any significant damage to the ear will see the reaction that Price's legs gave.

The odd thing is, the question mark over Price's chin is still not answered because his chin was not hit and as for a future Price-Fury fight, while Fury's followers might now say their fighter will be favourite, I'd tend to still go with Price, simply because he is technically the better boxer.

There're no questions about Price's chin, its weak. He was dropped and stopped numerous times in the ametures, with head gear and and gloves that are at times like pillows. Thompson is no mug, his only losses in the last few years have come against Wlad but he's not known as a big puncher and at nearly 42 shouldn't have had a chance really. Price has unquestionable power but his accuracy and tequnique are suspect IMO, I'm not convinced he's as far infront of Fury as many think, Fury doesn't have Price's power, he's got better hand speed, he throws his combinations better and he's more durable.

Quote: Charlie Sheen " I'm not convinced he's as far infront of Fury as many think, Fury doesn't have Price's power, he's got better hand speed, he throws his combinations better and he's more durable.'"


Fury is technically poor. Yes, he throws combinations, but in his last fight was doing so with his feet in all the wrong positions and so his punch power was seriously reduced.

Also, because of his technical flaws, he was decked a few fights ago by Pajkic, who was an absolute nobody and only recovered because his opponent was an extreme novice....Against a half decent fighter, with a good punch, Fury will come unstuck and won't get the chance to recover - He'll be knocked unconcious.

Fury's best bet would be to find himself a better trainer who can use his hand speed properly, whilst retaining his power.....Without some power at top level, a heavyweight has no chance and, at the moment, Fury has none.

Great win for Hopkins.... again!

Ricky Burns set to be announced to be the latest fighter to be going to Matchroom sports tomorrow. Only Cleverly left with Warren pretty much now.

Times have changed. Fans don't want to watch British fighters take easy defenses time after time, and never leave their home town, and fighters don't want to be involved in fights against tomato cans over and over. Any fighter with any ambition wants to fight the best fighters, and fight for titles and Hearn has done that. Yes the likes of Rees and Barker have lost but their stock has risen and they've got a decent pay day out of it.

Hopefully Groves will be on the Froch-Kessler undercard. A fight with Abraham would be good.

As for Warren well he still has Clev, Gavin and Saunders but unless he can get them bigger fights I can't see them sticking around for long. Especially with Golden boy looking to promote in the UK as well as Hearn's rise.

Still can't see that happening. And if it did I reckon it would be a nightmare for Cleverly. Not as physical, but the nature of the beating he'll get will be similar to what BHop gave Pavlik. Cleverly hasn't progressed at all in the last few years - he's just wasting his talent with Warren and keeping his dad as a trainer. He'd do well to bugger off to America, they like fighters like Clev and Roach would probably have a bit more time for him soon

Interesting news that headguards will be removed for the senior men at this year's World Championships, apparently to reduce the risk of head injuries.

More importantly, the amateur game is moving on to the same scoring system as the pros. No more button pressing and computer scoring.

About time. Although it wouldn't surprise me if it's been the Americans who've been pushing for this given their poor display in London. We might now start to see the emergence of fighters who can actually punch properly again.

It was a cracker. One of the fights of the year, I scored it a draw but I've no problem with Bradley getting the nod, he showed real heart, they both did.
