    I know the expected outcome, we all do.

    But if David does pull it off that will surely be the best result by a Brit for a long time!

    Also, anyone think that if he forgets about power shots and does the unexpected (i.e. short sharp shots, using uppercuts on the inside) that he could actually have some success?

    I think if he has self belief and catches Pov coming in (which is obviously povetkin's tactics) then he could have success. But it all depends on keeping your cool and calm under pressure. So obviously I am doubtful.

    But if he did it, can you think of a more popular victory? Maybe Hatton Tszyu?!

    That’s the thing though, Price doesn’t believe in himself.

    David Price needs to adopt Scott Cardle tactics on Sat -throw everything he has in first two rounds then retire in his corner at end of round 2 if he has not blown Povetkin away.

    Price can KO anyone with his power but no point thinking about a long fight with his stamina.

    Povetkin should win easily but I give big Dave a chance of a KO with those tactics.

    Price was too frightened to throw a proper punch in his last fight against Sokolowski.
    He will be KO’d by the first punch - I’m just hoping he doesn’t get hurt

    I see Povetkin winning by brutal knockout. Price needs to hang them up.

    The most popular victory in a British ring did not involve British fighters when Amir Con was sparked by Prescott

    H Fury would stop Price.After 6 or 7 rounds even with his power/negative style.After 7 he could hurt an exhausted Price with a jab.
    I like Price and hope he does it, but he seems so gun shy, he won't commit and let his bombs go anymore.
    Would love him to win and get a cash out fight to set him up for life.

    You do know it is 12 rounds and not a Katie Taylor debut 4 rounder x 2 mins?

    It would be a miracle mate

    Agree.Price would loose on the cards after 3 rounds.
