Comments Thread For: David Price Gets Homecoming Bout, 6/26 In Liverpool

[BostonGuy]

I like Price.

But our bookmakers don't seem to realise how chinny he is.

Worth betting against him especially against Teper who I think can punch. Is he the one that KO'd Sprott in a round?

I think Teper was the guy that sparked Roggie in one or two rounds

There you go then. Rogie is no mug.

Betting against big Dave again.

Teper for the EBU title. I think.

theres no way he's fighting teper..........maybe chisora at best probably someone like baktov, dimitrenko.

Same thing here. Already made some small money on Price vs Thompson, twice.

No one supports their fighters like UK fans. even if they are not all that.

They wanted groves to be the next big thing (for some reason), maybe because he was slick and flashy. Froch put a stop to it in front of 80k fans though.

How many fans ?

Rogan and Sprott KO1 both. I missed the Rogan fight butn I remember the Sprott one well it was a heavy heavy punch.

Dimitremko is pencilled in for later this month, it won't be Sacsha. I don't think it will be Teper either, purses will be held off until after this fight no doubt, not before being ultimately called off.

Price isn't getting the Fury fight, and he appears to not want the Joshua fight which I find peculiar as it would be a huge fight, surely he would be better suited pursuing the Brit belt and defending it in a big fight versus Joshua, it do ppv in the UK with somebody like Brook headlining.

According to Boxrec, Price's opponent is TBA. But I read in the UK press earlier this week that it was going to be Erkan Teper, for the European title. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

But why has Teper suddenly become a scary bogieman? I remember a little while back, when Tyson Fury was Euro champ and Teper was named as his mandatory, a lot of people here got the wrong end of the stick - as per usual - and started slagging Fury off for fighting another bum.

I've never seen Teper in action, but looking at his record, he's 14 - 0 against more or less the same level of opponent as Price has been knocking over, so it would be a competitive match up. On paper anyway.

80,000 fans. At Wembley

Price's next fight is in June and they were talking about Price vs AJ in September, so it's still on the cards.

AJ is supposed to be fighting Dillian Whyte first though, and I don't think "The Villain" is going to an easy touch.

That's a lot of fans who came to see him, I suppose they all went because of him too right ?

Whyte looks solid at British level, maybe he could challenge for the EBU to put himself on the map, yknow AJ could face Price for the Brit belt and Whyte for a defence, I'd like to see Joshua step up to euro level before fighting legit contenders. Someone like Thompson will limited power but respectable on the world stage would be a great match up after Price or Whyte.

Whyte I know nothing about, his amateur included. He stopped his last opponent I read. Does he harbour intentions of fighting on the euro stage himself ?
