Comments Thread For: David Price-Dereck Chisora Bout Ordered By BBBoC

It was, our good friend Luis Pabon kept Chisora off Haye for 5 rounds just like he did to Povetkin v Klitschko.

Price has a puncher's chance.



Vitali would still beat Wlad. His shoulder excuse was just that, he was throwing with both arms but couldn't put a dent in Chisora.

wlad would beat old vitali. vitali is just too old and slow now. I believe his injury was legit. he was pawing and pushing his punches. vitali would have stopped chisora in the mid to late rounds 5 yrs ago

I like it and would fancy Price to take this fight via stoppage

I can also see this happening.

This is not a comeback fight for Price. If you read the article then you'd know that the BBBofC have ordered the fight to take place by the end of Feb.

David is planning on having a few fights by the end of this year which should give him some confidence going in and get some hype back if he puts on a decent show.

I think this is a decent domestic fight, have to give Chisora the edge going in but I wouldn't be shocked if Price knocks him out.

A jab doesn't stop Chisora tho, as the shorter man he's able to duck under and box his way in. Price's main hope is to box on the backfoot like Scott and hope his power tells (unlike Scott) but I don't really think that's his style.

Chisora eats jabs on his way inside. I don't see a lot of head movement. He's just very relentless. Price could be good if he commits to his jab, and learns to hide his right hand with the jab, like the Klitschko's do.

Unlike Malik Scott, he has power to knockout Chisora out.

Chisora goes on a winning streak and is rewarded by being fed a broken fighter. I guess they're trying to make Chisora into a bigger attraction. This fight ends in a TKO, Chisora will back up and maul Price once he gets him on the ropes. After that it's only a matter of time before the ref decides Price is done. KO4 Chisora.

Price's management team should give up the title and focus on rebuilding a once promising career. Throwing him in with Chisora after two ko losses is a lose/lose situation.

I think its more a lose/lose situation for chisora. he has nothing much to gain by beating price but would lose alot of rank if he lost. price on the other hand is already at the bottom and cant sink much lower as it is. chisora's the one that shouldnt take the fight. too risky with too little reward. price can punch very hard with the right hand despite the fragile mentality and chin problems. hed have a fair punchers chance

Price has developed the bad habit of pawing and probing with his left lead, using it merely as a range finder for the right. A hard, spiteful jab from a powerful guy like him would be a potent weapon. And he would be much more likely to land the follow up right if he was hurting opponents with the left, rather than just touching them.
He also needs to focus on footwork as a means of maintaining distance, when necessary, instead of just walking forward the whole time.
Like the Klitschkos, Price is built for long range combat. Maintain distance and jab, jab, jab. That's what a 6 foot 8 inch heavyweight should be doing.

I totally agree with this post, and also the posts saying that Price should avoid this fight like the plague. He needs to rebuild. This would be a very risky shortcut to take in his journey.

No way this happens. Price needs to regroup, and this is not the regrouping kind of fight.

Price will vacate, I expect.
