Comments Thread For: David Price Saves Career, Breaks Down & Stops Dave Allen

[DaBeastO]

Good for price getting himself a win.

Not surprised, Price is vulnerable but allen is a very limited fighter. Clearly Allen's recent victories were getting to his head, seemed quite smug when AJ lost and was talking like he was close to competing for a world title

Yup.

He went down in my estimations after going to a Frank Warren show and talking bad about Eddie Hearn. He's very lucky to have been given the chances he had in his career and a few wins over subpar opposition saw him get ahead of himself

I'm happy he's OK but he was never on Prices level in terms of skills and I'm happy he lost.

Some of the comments here from Americans are disgraceful about quitting. The guy got stretchered to hospital, do you want him to die? WTF.

Haven't seen much of Allen and after this fight I hope not to see him again. Price looked pretty good but Allen looked terrible. He was on his stool for a long time needing oxygen. Hope he is okay but wow, he stunk up the joint!

Matchroom or Sky have never been banking on Allen, he was just a bit of a ticket seller.

As of very recently Adam Smith agreed to get on board with allen, yes you are correct about him being a ticket seller, but they were hoping for big things from him, I'm glad in a way as it just cons the public more into buying these crap ppv cards. It shud be like the old Don King days stacked with world title 50/50 fights.

Unexpected result, Price won by late RTD, but feel happy for him. He controlled the pace of the fight using mainly the jab, so he didn't ran out of gas after the 4th round. He used the right hand really few times, but he connected with accuracy when used.

Good strategy to keep his career alive for another payday.

Is his career saved or are his brain cells just being preserved for a future opponent? I'm gonna go with the latter on this one. Price shoulda retired before Allen retires. Get a nice vending machine business or some sh^t like that. Or buy a apartment complex or two if he gots some extra money lying around.

I was thinking the same thing. The guy got taken out on a stretcher I believe. He is ok but obviously he knew something wasn't right. He took a beating from a big puncher. On the same night that Russian fighter died. It's a brutal sport. This could be the end for Allen. I doubt he will want to fight again nor will anyone around him. He bought a house & did some good things with the money he earned so a new line of work is a good idea since he won't be going any further in the sport.

That was the best I have seen Price look since before the Thompson fights. His jab was crisp & he never pawed with it. He threw it hard with bad intentions & mixed a hook, straight right & uppercut into his attack. He took punches well & tied Allen up anytime he tried to punch inside. Price looked fit & kept busy for all 10 rounds it lasted. The 2 keys for me were the hard jab & him tying up Allen in close. He never used to tie anyone up when he was in trouble. I thought that was good to see. This was only David Allen so it will be interesting to see if he keeps throwing those stiff jabs & ties up better opponents when they get inside. That was almost the Klitschko grab & jab style. A late career surge coming from Pricey? The grab & jab certainly helped him in this fight. He gets another decent fight after this win but again it was only David Allen who in my opinion he should beat. Can he finally take the next step & beat a B level fringe contender in the top 15-25?

I'd like to see Pricey Vs Dimitrenko or Washington
