Everyone is writing Thompson off, but other than Wladamir, nobody has had their way with him in the way people are suggesting Price will.

I think Price will win, but I will be pleasently surprised if it's easy, and I think he might have to get up off the floor to win

:audley

 

[Bryn]

It could happen.

What's the general consensus on price's chin?

Right now everyone is high on Price so they are kind of skimming over the issue.

For me, he got floored and hurt too often in the amateurs for it to be a coincidence, I know it's amateurs but he was 23,24,25 years old at the time.

I don't belive chins get "better", it's just that in the pros he's not yet fighting the likes of Helenius, Pulev, Cammarale, Stiverne etc like he was in the Amateurs, he's fighting Matt Skelton and Sam Sextons of this world

If he gets hit by a big guy who can bang a bit, I expect him to do a bit of a dance tbh, their best thing is to evolve his style a little more to operate at range with his power as a deterrent, Wlad style.

I'm sure it'll get tested at some point soon and then we'll know. You shouldn't really be getting dropped regularly in the amateurs though.

 

[Bryn]

I'm pretty sure that Price has a shit chin.

 

[Thomas!!]

NO WAY. PRICE WILL WIN BY EXTREME KNOCKOUT DESTRUCTION

 

[adamcanavan]

price was knocked down something like 14 times as an amateur so there's definitely questions about his chin, and he hasnt really taken a solid punch without a headguard so far in his career

 

[Roe]

Tony Thompson knocked down David Haye in sparring.

 

[Back to Bill]

I got a feeling that Earl is a fucking spacker.

 

[Danny]

but other than Wladamir, nobody has had their way with him

What are you implying?

 

[w;dkm ckeqfjq c]

Tony Thompson knocked down David Haye in sparring.

Proof?

 

[084]

Pricey has a completey different frame now to when he had in the amateurs, im pretty confident his chin will hold up fine when tested

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

I never listen to people who say they've "got a feeling" about a fight. Your gut instinct means nothing.

 

[Roe]

Proof?

:audley

 

[Earl-Hickey]

Having seen the weigh in, i now don't think this will happen

 

[Lilo]

:audley

:lol:

Reliable source!

 

[Ilesey]

I don't think he'll taste canvas but I don't think Thompson will be a complete walkover either.

 

[Nyanners :sad5]

2 rounds. Fat fuck couldn't even be bothered to take off his vest.

 

[BUMPY]

Thompson is not serious, Price is a man who comes to demolish the man infront of him.
