Comments Thread For: David Price: I Expect To Beat Dave Allen, This is My World Title Fight

[PRINCEKOOL]

I've never seen why Allen gets so much love. I get the plucky underdog narrative but he's getting way too much attention for what little he has actually achieved in his career.

Since his Lucas Browne win, I just think he has been above himself in interviews 'His Interviews on Anthony Joshua's loss was very very smug, and quite disrespectful in my opinion'. Of late I have seen quite a dis-likable arrogance within him, and I tend to not have much of a issue with boxers showing arrogance ' I enjoyed David Haye, recently enjoyed Paulie Malignaggi in the build up to Artem Lobov also, did not mind Tony Bellew but? I am still offended that he beat David Haye'

The fact of the matter is? Dave Allen started boxing with a soft and half heart mentality. 'And he marketed himself around this attitude he had, because that is who he was 'And he has played up to this persona, and some people like it'

Say what you want about David Price, but he did not start boxing with a soft and half hearted mentality. David Price started boxing with a Winners Mentality. For the larger majority of his career, people have expected him to win going into 95% of his fights. 'Dave Allen has not lived under that kind of pressure, he does not understand what it is like to live in that realm of reality'.

Until now.

I understand that David Price has issues, but what I respect is how he has stayed in the game and attempted to recreate himself 'I don't think he has ever recovered his Thompson loses' but he has adapted as a fighter, to become a different kind of weapon.

If Only Price had a decent engine, this fight for me would be a lot easier for him 'Always found it bizarre as to why his stamina is like the way it is' because it is not as if he does not put the effort in training. 'Probably just how he is made'.

Allen should easily stop him inside 5 rnds

I want Dave Allen to win, because his blueprint is more-or-less what I wanna do. I could care less about the titles, I know after I fight a few times I'll have a small fanbase, I'm a madman with these hands. allen's a #20 hw but some people buy ppv's just cause he's on em.

I relate to him in a sense, he was a blue collar plumber(Price) starting out. I like him because other people that I respect, respect him. Allen just seems like a good fella, he just wants to get enough to get outta the game. I respect how he promoted and managed himself, fighters could never do that starting out over here in the states.
i may be wrong.

Boxing is the last working class sport, the only real working class sport today 'In terms of accessibility and opportunity' there are no fancy drafts, and not much discrimination in my opinion' Long as you can fight, you are good to go.

What I am stating is, there was no real need for Dave Allen to have a 'Soft half hearted' mentality but he did 'He seems to keep telling everybody that he is taking this 100% serious now, these things should be mandatory and there should be zero need to mention it' All this tells me that, this new lifestyle and mentality to him is not natural.

Yes In my first post, I was going to mention that? I highly doubt Dave Allen would of gotten all of these opportunities if he was a fighter from america.

Exciting fight anyway, everything suggest that Dave Allen should win. But I will be backing David Price, it has been very intriguing just watching Price unfold and pick himself back up again.

Both guys are pretty humble and respectful to be honest.

It is funny when Allen says Joshua quit (which he DID) the AJ nuthugger's get all triggered.

Why you doubt the opportunities is what I'd like to know next

It is just the entire psychology of america, in sports 'In anything really at times'. Americanize culture is very 'Shallow and microwavable these day' I can remember when Bernard Hopkins stated that? We are living in the microwavable age, everyone wants everything right now 'This was before his rematch with Chad Dawson, in one of the greatest round table media interviews I have ever seen'.

British sports fans enjoy the ride, even the casual have a ability to follow boxers or anything athlete through thick and thin sometimes. 'American's love winners, they almost elevate their sports stars as if they where Demi-Gods' British people tend not to do this, as much.

So when Dave Allen comes along and market's himself like he has, he knows what he is doing 'But that is who he is'. People for the most part where very envious of David Haye for example, where just waiting for his down fall.

It seems to be more so the media in america. But boxing is a past time in the UK, and heavily ingrained into the culture 'You cannot just remove that from history, or genetic memory'. That is why it will be very hard for any combat sport to ever reach the heights of boxing, once upon a time it was the biggest sport in the world 'And the heavyweight title, alongside a Olympic Gold medal' where the most prestigious achievements/titles any single man could achieve 'Long before sports became consumerised to the max'

But as I stated earlier boxing is the last working class sport so in america, there still should be a market for fighters like that. 'It is all about building a rapport with people'.
