David price stops super-heavyweight favourite

Wow the Lottery money really came in handy. Just goes to show. The Americans are shite in comparison aren't they? shame.

From BBC News website Super-heavyweight David Price gave Great Britain's boxing team a welcome boost after beating Russia's Islam Timurziev with a fantastic display. The referee stopped the bout in the second round after two vicious Price attacks in quick succession forced Timurziev to take standing counts. The first saw Price, who trailed 2-0 in the judges' scoring, land with a crisp right-left combination to the head. And moments later, a straight left hand made the referee's mind up. Timurziev, the European champion and favourite for the gold, was not impressed with the decision, shaking his head in dismay as his opponent celebrated one of the best victories of his career. The 25-year-old will take on Lithuania's Jaroslav Jaksto in the quarter-finals. Price's win was a welcome fillip for the British team, coming after the enforced withdrawal of Frankie Gavin and the controversial points defeat of Joe Murray on Tuesday.

Lmao, now how did you see his eyes closely enough Because I have eyes of my own.

The Russian looked fit to continue (for another twnety seconds or so when he'd be kissing the canvas again). His eyes were clear and his legs weren't wobbly. He wasn't mentally there anymore though. Lmao, now how did you see his eyes closely enough

How can you say that? He was obviously hurt, he went down the second time after a little tap, he was hurt, as soon as the referee saw his eyes he stopped it.

When do we find out who he is going to face next? Either OHWARIEME Onoriode OR JAKSTO Jaroslav

Team GB has been pretty damn impressive so far. Let's keep going on about how GREAT Britain is and annoy everyone else on BoxingScene :boxing:

This ukrainian on now is a beast. Oleksander usik, he's fighting at heavyweight and just pasted some chinese bloke by nearly 20 points.

When do we find out who he is going to face next?

So we have 6 boxers through to final 16 so far :) Rule Britainia again!

doh just made this thread in other forum common GB :boxing:

Really (really, really) bad stoppage, but Price would have put him down again, Timurziev just wasn't all there after the first KD. How can you say that? He was obviously hurt, he went down the second time after a little tap, he was hurt, as soon as the referee saw his eyes he stopped it.

Was an impressive win, i think they're alot quicker to call fights off in amateur boxing when someones hurt. Should of gone on a bit longer.

Wow wish I could have watched that, Damn being at work sucks. Will have to try and catch this on the highlights when I get home.

That was great i just saw it. Beautiful right hand for the first knockdown, then he went down again fairly easilly so he was obviously hurt and i think it was right to stop it because he probably would have gone down again in that round and if you get knocked down 3 times in 1 round then it's over.

man, that was awsome. It was the second round though. he was losing 2-0 after the first, then floored him twice in the second.
