Comments Thread For: David Price-Erkan Teper Early Action From Germany

[LacedUp]

Price just made Teper look like Mike Tyson.

When someone is packing that Richard Towers chin and you look like you have the fear of God in you when you've been grazed by a jab, you've got to retire.

Otherwise he's getting hurt for real.

He can go to the Wlad K school of grab...jab grab....jab jab grab... punch clinch....because this would be Wlad minus the cheating.

he should open up a glass blowing company in england, being that he's made out of it.

looooooooool!!!

BTW nobody says something about Teper! I think hes actually pretty good.
Would like to see him against Chagaev or something.

what a damn shame with price. a great guy with good power and size but the mentality and chin of a piss ant. what a waste. hope he can find something else in his life to be successful at. obviously boxing at the pro level isnt one of them

wlad is a damn granite chinned monster compared to price clinching or not

[beez721]

Who knows what's next. Maybe he pulls a Wlad and turns his career around or more maybe this is it for him

his kayo losses compared to wlad are so different. brewster and sanders could crack and landed huge shots whereas price was layed out by a boxer not known for power and a journeyman. couple that with the fact that wlad was a much more talented boxer and you have a total long shot for a good comeback. im really gutted as ive always liked price but hes done. he just doesnt have the toughness or mental fortitude to make it thru the pro ranks. hope he has other things he can pursue becuase he is a good likeable guy. what a damn shame

I wonder if Joshua has the same chin.

Lets hope not but concerns are genuine, Price was calling for the fight lately to no avail. I think I read somewhere the two sparred each other and Joshua was decked or stopped. I always felt Price's power was a little overrated and his fundamentals were awful.

It's concerning.

Whyte can ****, hopefully he can ask questions, failing that we have Teper though I would have preferred to have seen the Wach versus Joshua fight but I understand they had reservations regarding the Viking.

I don't understand how some people can over hype fighters that have yet been tested.

I generally like to keep my reserves for fighters before jumping on any wagon until I see them go through a shi!tstorm and make it out alive.

My current favorite prospect is probably Felix Verdejo, but I'm still not sold yet until I see him take a few meaty shots and still keep on coming.

It's always best not getting carried away like the patriots.

This was when David Price was undefeated and at the height of the hype machine. I'm usually spot on about scouting heavyweight talent but even I was caught up in the hype machine. At the time I thought Price was the most promising prospect and would vie for a title, but not win. Man, I was ****in' wrong

I think a few guys got swept away at the time their was Mitchell too, around that period I remembered the three best prospects, the three P's, Priceand Perez, it's a shame how they turned out but the one with the least power but the better fundamentals went on to emulate them all, Pulev. We know his story and we know why he is held in higher regard.

BTW nobody says something about Teper! I think hes actually pretty good.
Would like to see him against Chagaev or something.

Chagaev is vastly underrated too, that would be a MASSIVE step up, I'm looking at Teper the same way I view Browne, heart of a lion, low on skills with frightening power.

Teper deserves his dues, he took some big shots and rode them well. I was hearing he was being called a nobody before this, guys who have never even heard of him were writing off this win before it even took place.

Teper has every thing Price fails to have be a success story, heart.
