Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua Confirms: David Price Dropped Me in Sparring

Big deal, he gets dealt with when it's for real. Knock downs in sparring mean less than zero.

A lot of people here thought he was bull****ting. I said It shouldn't be a huge surprise because despite Price's fragility, he is a huge puncher and Anthony Joshua doesn't move his head and is quite stiff.

At the same time It was petty of Price to bring it up and a silly thing to gloat about because it seems like it's the only thing he can hang his hat on these days.

Instead of worrying about getting better Price has gone through a few trainers, got beat up dropped and embarrassed by a old man twice! So instead of sharpening his skills like Joshua obviously did he wants to brag about a 6 year old incident since Joshua gold metal and title belts no losses. Price no medals no belts iced three times in a row . Bragging? He should be embarrassed

Boxing Scene reported on this months ago. Why put the piece back up.

Nearly every time a boxer is koed you'd bet they will never be the same, especially in the pros.
So josh has done well. PAC has done very well as well.

It happens in sparring tony tubbs knocking down mike Tyson the list goes on.If David's jaw had not have let him down as badly has it has this would be Wembley Stadium 2017 instead the common thought is David would be pole axed in a round or two.
David needs to win a big one and I wouldn't bet on that happening ...shame he's one of boxings nice ones.

David Price could have been a more exciting Tyson Furyif he had a chin. Guy really is a beast puncher. But alas he's stuck getting worked over by Tony Thompson and Teper....

delvis is freaking enormous. when a guy of that size has any snap at all he's dangerous. delvis can punch hard enouhg to hut anybody. this is HW. getting dropped or knocked out doesnt' necessarily mean you ahve a bad chin. these guys can punch.

if you read the story it sounds like he not only dropped him, but put him down and out and ended the sparring session. and when you hear joshua's recount it sounds like everyting delvis said was true.

it's sparring and in the end it means little. joshua would be a massive fave to beat delvis early. props to joshua for being a man and admitting it, and training hard to get better. he's obvously the better fighter.

Any heavyweight fighter can land a lucky punch, especially in sparring. Unfortunately Price is more stable horizontal than vertical, otherwise he might do well.
