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

[boxingfocus]

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 has good head movement when he doesn't switch off (which he is prone to doing from time to time).

Price is a lot slower and stiffer than Malik Scott. Of course he hits a lot harder too but Chisora wouldn't give him any room and wear him down after a few rounds of hustling him.

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.

I dont agree. price is 30 yrs old now. he could get knocked off again by a complete bum. hes already at rock bottom so why not take a chance. if he beats chisora hes right back on the map. I also think with his power he has a descent chance. if he were in his early to mid 20's Id agree on passing but hes going to be running out of time before he knows it. I think chisora would be the foolish one to take this fight. little to gain and even more to lose

Chisora is all wrong for Price, especially with where Price is right now. Chisora will pressure him relentlessly and hurt him to the head and most importantly to the body. People forget that Chisora works well to the body.

Price would be extremely brave taking this fight now.

yep! chisora does excellent body work...

the one thing I will always say is a few losses is not always a bad thing. chisora has turned himself into a solid fighter through experience vs top level competition. yes he may have lost but the helenius & klitschko fights gave him the confidence that he can hang with the top guys. he didn't let the losses discourage him. he knew he had to get in better shape & he has done that. price should just fight him. he is 30 & how much more is he going to learn? he is what he is but he can still KO a guy with one punch. he looks more like a travis walker type fighter then a contender. he can still keep fighting at the domestic & European level. with a few nice wins at that level he could get in a few more meaningful fights on a bigger stage...

let's not forget tony Thompson is a southpaw. how many southpaws has price fought? having little experience fighting southpaws could have contributed to those losses. price lost his team with Maloney's retirement but he can get a fresh start with a new team so all is not lost yet...

Very bad timing for Price. He loses this one, he's done.

But it will give Chisora some quite nice momentum. Maybe to chase Tyson's rematch.
