David Price vs. Tony Thompson II RbR & Discussion Thread

[Drunk Punch]

I'm favoring Thompson too.. I think the psychological advantage of knowing you can put someone down and quite easily is a huge advantage. Price's defense was shocking, he had his hand by his waist.

I think the HW Amir Khan sums him up perfectly.

Weakest based on what? If you think Wlod is the weakest of the world champs at cruiser I have to question your knowledge on the division.
You're telling me he wouldn't destroy Huck? The chinny Hernandez? Jones may tough as hell sheerly because of the guys chin.

Yoan Pablo Hernandez beat Cunningham twice. Wlodarczyk couldn't even beat him once.

Marco Huck has a stellar resume and arguably beat a current heavyweight champion.

Guillermo Jones is just a beast. There's no way Wlodarczyk beats him.

So yeah I feel confident calling Wlod the worst of that bunch.

Hernandez is a chinny pile of crap coming off a gift against old, shot Troy Ross. The only win on his resume worth anything is against an old, faded Cunningham who Wlod beat when he was at his very best.

Huck, who has gifts over Lebedev, Afolabi, Arslan, in fact who the hell has the guy even beaten legitimately?

Jones is a tough SOB but his whole hype is based on his chin, is it any better than Wlods? No, no it isn't. In fact what does he do better than Wlod? The answer is nothing.

Lets face it you can say hes the weakest champion but would you bet against him against any of the above? You'd be a fool to put it that way.

BoxingScene, BoxRec, and Fight News all rank Wlodarczyk fourth out of the cruiserweight champions. They do it for a reason.

Someone here already posted that price will win a boring decision, that is what I expect too. If Thompson wants another win he needs to start of fast and strong but he'll do what he did last time, start off cautious and that fits into Price's plan perfectly. I won't be surprised if I see a KO of Price again but I reckon Price Lennox's his way to a win.

I don't believe TT will be in shape to beat him again. Even in the first fight TT looked in much worse shape than against Wlad.

Price will be very cautious this time and TT will too tired to last all 12 rounds. I pick Price via UD or late stoppage.

If TT shows in shape I would favor TT as I think he is a very good boxer - best US has to offer atm.

Yeah Ring Mag also has Broner ranked #8 p4p he was 6th before Malignaggi, Boxrec has him 6th at Welter.


Daniel Geale is placed above Mares, lol!

Great logic, yeah these rankings prove a lot.

[ShoulderRoll]

I didn't mention Ring mag.

And I gave you 3 different sources not just one.

I think it's safe to say you are a little biased and aren't capable of being objective when it comes to the Chakhiev and the people who whip Chakhiev.

I can't see TT being in better shape than he was last time. If Price can keep the distance he will win a long, boring fight. TT has to land another awkward, big shot.
