Price-Thompson: Predictions?
by Mr Bounce Sat 23 Feb 2013, 12:45 pm
First topic message reminder :
Well, Thompson's come in at 262lbs, his heaviest ever. And judging by his comments about retirement he is expecting to lose. Price is at 247, the same as when he pancaked Harrison.
I don't see this going past 4 rounds, and if it does, it'll be target practice. Thompson turning up for a payday and hopefully showing slightly more than Johnson did against Fury. However, the first power shot Price connects with, Thompson goes down.
My actual reckoning is 2 rounds max, unless Tony gets lucky. It's going to be a walkover.

David Price is done at HW level IMO. Big statement but he has a soft chin. And self-doubt.
Anthony Joshua is the key. He has spite in his punches and a good chin and uber confidence. If he fights amateur for another 20-30 fights then he'll be ready for the pro's. Still a little raw.

Hearns and Khan have a great offensive skillset Az but their overall skillset is lacking, call it stupidity if you wish but a solid defence is just as important as a good offence. Wlad does what he needs to do against the opposition he faces but a lot of it comes down to his size, he lacks enough variety for me to say he has a great skillset.

Ali got decked by a very average cooper. Were it not for his whiskers would you be questioning his skillset? Some boxers are blessed with great skills but poor chins. Doesn't mean they have average skillsets. Getting hit is part and parcel of the sport

Oh, and incase anyone missed it, Dwyer nailed this prediction almost a month ago:

He lacks a chin.
The man also lacks confidence and it is seen in his performances. He starts slowly, he prods with his jab, his reactions are affected. He can look very stiff and confused by movement.
I have been saying for a long time how I felt Price was overrated and if he fought Fury he would lose.
Thompson was his biggest weight in years and 42 years of age. Yet, his movement and speed confused him.
Can David Price come back?
I don't think so, not with his chin history.
The post fight press conference says it all. Maloney selling the KO as a freak accident to protect his fighters confidence. A confidence he doesn't have.
Lets hope Frank recovers soon.
this is all rather vey true and sums up price completely

Importantly price knows he's chinny. Getting decked so often in the amateurs and now all over the place by a slap. I see another Pele Reid in him.
