[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Echo Arena, Liverpool, Merseyside - Heavyweight contender David Price (15-2, 13KOs) came close to getting revenge, but veteran Tony Thompson (38-3, 26KOs) battled back and got the TKO win in the fifth round. In February, Thompson stopped Price in the second round of a shocking upset and now repeats to show the first win was no fluke.

In the second, Price rocked Thompson and then later dropped him hard with a big right hand. Thompson barely made it up with a few seconds remaining. At the start of the third, Price rocked Thompson again. Thompson came back with both hands swinging as they traded hard shots. [Click Here To Read More]

David cannot handle an experienced Southpaw at this stage of his career. Honestly, not many people can at HW. It was a huge gamble from the beginning, but a chance to catapult him to the top. I think he will come back, bc his power is disconcerting for a domestic level. <2yrs he'll be fighting for a belt if V.Klit retires. Thompson would have done the same to T.Fury, tbh

Only person who got beat worse than Price is Thompson's wife

Just watched this. I think he understandably thought the first loss was a freak result and just though he had to avoid what happened last time. To be fair Price almost stopped Thompson this time, Thompson was up on referee count of 9. Result could have been different very easily. David Price had no stamina in this fight, he didnt get knocked down. Stamina seemed to be more of an issue.
