    Price canbeat any HW in the first three rounds if he gets off properly.

    But any version of povetkin is much too classy for him and shoukd avoidhis big shots early.

    It would be pretty surprising TBH

      It woukd be an upset but nowhere near as big a shock as people are making it out to be. Povetkin is around 40 years old and heavily overrated. Price also has heavy heavy punching power. I'm not saying price will win but it wouldn't be shock of the century.

        That would be a God intervention.

          They want Price to win because he'd be a great body bag for AJ to pound into oblivion.

            Povetkin is old just looked fairly poor and we see it time and time again when these guys stop using the **** they are on suddenly they can't take a punch as well and Price when he's not all timid can really punch.
            Its not like Povetkin is hard too hit either.

            I wouldn't be shocked.

            Price needs to risk gassing, risk getting KTFO and realise its do or die and go for it. Walk him down behind a nice stiff powerjab.
            He has a fairly good shot if he brings the right mentality. Enough of the gentle giant ****

              Povetkin blows him out the water, price is garbage and he's fighting arguably the most skilled heavyweight. I'd be shocked

                It's possible. Price punches with great speed and power. He also has about the worst chin I can remember on a main event boxer.

                  I'm wondering if Price should just go for broke early, try use his power. I mean, it could go wrong..his chin is questionable and Povetkin can punch. He'll gas quick.
                  We saw that tactic go wrong in the British title fights on SKY this past weekend.

                  But if he fights cagey and safe, he's probably going to gas early anyway.
                  Maybe try put it on Povetkin early. But the longer the fight goes on the more chance the inevitable is going to happen.


                  Price is 18/1 in rounds 1-4 on SKY bet at the minute.
                  I don't see it, but I'd love for it to happen.

                    I never bet, but this match has me thinking about placing some money on Price for the upset. Can anyone give me a link for a proper betting site?

                      If the result is anything other than a Povetkin KO, it will be the most surprising result I have ever seen
