How big of a shock would Price beating Povetkin be?

Bivol vs Price is a no brainer. Would be really interesting to see Kovalev vs Price. GGG vs Price I WOULD PAY to see. While we are at it... Mikey Garcia vs Price? Humn.. LOMA or Pacman vs Price?

It wouldn't surprise me at all. When you can bang like Price can anything's possible. I don't think he will win and expect him to be stopped in 5-6 rounds.

Povetkin is only 4 years older than Price. The reason i say it would be one of the biggest upsets of all time is down to the manner of Price's defeats and his record going into this fight. Price has only beat a handful of journeymen in the last 5 years since being destroyed twice by Thompson. Any time since then he has stepped up slightly to fringe world level he has been KTFO showing zero punch resistance, engine or heart in the process. At least Douglas was coming off of 2 decent wins going into the Tyson fight and was in the best form of his career. Price, in my opinion, has showed on several occasions now that he cant cope at Euro level never mind against one of the top heavies in the world. Four years is a long time in boxing years, but you do make great points, and you likely know the UK fighters a lot better than I do. Agree to Disagree haha

Massive shock I'd say. In fact, it's almost impossible in my mind.

Price is a prime example of a guy who can cut it for 3 round amateur fights but not at pro. After round 4 the end will be swift.

I'm surprised a few posters wouldn't be shocked by it. How do you see Price knocking him out in the first 2-3 rounds? Which is when it would have to happen.

hahaha that's what I meant to say. Just misplaced the names But still a surprise to me, so many big upsets come to mind. While Price beating Povetkin would be a huge KO, theres still to many factors like Povetkin's age which wouldn't put it on the same level as a Douglas/Tyson or a Spinks/Ali Povetkin is only 4 years older than Price.

I hope that is literally the case when he enters the ring. If Dave has to enter the ring in front of 80,000 he might gas during the ring walk Hahahaha If he has to walk indoors he might hyperventilate

i honestly dont think it would be that surprising to me price has length and power and has nothing to lose in the past he has had loads of pressure on him as he was being built up as the next star he almost retired so that can be a dangerous fighter imo and povetkin didnt look great in his last fight, starting to look his age

I wouldnt even be surprised considering povetkin’s current state. This fight isnt a mismatch

Yeah I agree, the win itself gets Price back in the frame and probably a final big payday before he goes away. But I mean, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one to hear ...

No my friend, the opposite way around, if Price somehow manages to pull it out the bag against Povetkin, then that, in my eyes, would be up there with the biggest shocks of all time! hahaha that's what I meant to say.

Be a nice story at least. Gentle giant who has had been unmercifully KO'd 4 times now comes good against a cheat. It'd probably earn Price a few quid down the line.

You think Povetkin beating Price would be the biggest upset of all time? Seriously?? No my friend, the opposite way around, if Price somehow manages to pull it out the bag against Povetkin, then that, in my eyes, would be up there with the biggest shocks of all time!

Povetkin is half the fighter he was when on meldonium. I'm half tempted to put money on him in hope of the hail Mary shot Exactly what I'm thinking and there was a hell of a lot more going on than meldonium.

BIG surprise but since the fight is between nobodies, does it matter? Be a nice story at least. Gentle giant who has had been unmercifully KO'd 4 times now comes good against a cheat. It'd probably earn Price a few quid down the line.

I'm wondering if Price should just go for broke early, try use his power. I mean, it could go wrong..his chin is questionable and Povetkin can punch. He'll gas quick. We saw that tactic go wrong in the British title fights on SKY this past weekend. But if he fights cagey and safe, he's probably going to gas early anyway. Maybe try put it on Povetkin early. But the longer the fight goes on the more chance the inevitable is going to happen. I bet Lucas Browne wished he adopted similar tactics now. Especially heavyweights. How much stick can they take really? Price is 18/1 in rounds 1-4 on SKY bet at the minute. I don't see it, but I'd love for it to happen. Yeah I think that has to be the mindset. Jump on him and go balls to the wall. I sort of think it did even work for Cardle. He had good success and probably caused more damage than if he arsed around for 12 rounds on the back foot. But he can't really punch hard seemingly. With Price his window of opportunity is literally about 9 minutes and then Povetkin is going to take his chin off. I'd love to see him really try and stick it on him. Even if he doesn't last 3 minutes - the pay off could be huge
