Which of these upsets shocked you more? Price/Thompson or Khan/Prescott?

????

 

Khan - Prescott.

And it's not even close. Thompson was once world class and Price is a hype job.

 

Price for me, not because he was knocked down, but the shot that did it appeared almost cuffing , did not expect him to go down from that type of shot at all, and not able to recover-on review with where it landed etc it can be understood more but in real time it was like 'eh, what happened there'

Khan had been knocked down before and was quite shocking at the time, but not completely unexpected.

 

I was more shocked at the time by Khan getting done, but mainly because it was so brutal and quick. The Price knockout was far less dramatic but what was shocking was the way he went down from what appeared to be a fairly innocuous cuff round the ear.

Very hard call actually, I'll go with Khan, mainly because Prescott isn't a particularly good fighter whereas Thompson does have some pedigree.

 

Price/Thompson - Although I thought it could be a close fight I certainly did not expect Price to be sparked.

 

Thompson Price for me.
We'd watched Khan get put down by Limmond/Gomez


You got 18/1 on a Thompson stoppage!!!!

 

:shock:

 

yip, Sportingbet.

Presscott was 10's.
100/1 for round 1

 

Khan/Prescott I never really rated Price, nice bloke tho.

 

I remember watching sky sports news a few days before the Khan fight, and they did a little story on Prescott about his poverty and they showed him in the gym and there was something about him that told me that if he lands a decent shot that Khan could be in trouble.

Thompson had showed no form in the last few years, didn't want the Price fight and didn't train seriously at all. Although i knew of Price's chin being a little suspect i still thought he would win easily enough so i would say Price getting knocked out surprised me more.

In saying all that, both were a KO waiting to happen and still are so i can't say either shocked me that much if i'm being honest.

 

Prices loss stunned me in how it unfolded

Khan had looked vulnerable previously

Easy to look at things in hindsight but at the time the price result definately

 

Prescott for me, I knew Thompson would be a risk for Price but wasnt expecting what happened, but Prescott blowing Khan away even had my friends who dont even follow boxing talking about it

 

Thompson/Price. I actually thought Prescott would beat Khan but didn't put money on it:-(

 

Prescott I thought he was a nobody with a padded record and that it`s rip of ppv fight.I knew Thompson was a big step up so I wasn` that suprised but with the vibe that he was only coming for the payday also was overweight I thought Price would stop him.

 

Khan Prescott was weird, had a feeling he would lose due to switching trainers and Prescott having an impressive looking record, Price Thompson was more of a shock due to thompsons weight and Price looking very good in his previous bouts.
