    AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHGRRRRHHHHHH!!!!!

    Most frustrating man to support ever. I felt he was in control there. Povetkin looked terrified of Price at times. He looked fitter and chilled too. Bellew said don’t hook with a hooker and he does it the very next round. I’m devastated!!

    20 seconds left in the 3rd and the cheating Russian **** is out of there. Proper gutted. Fine margins, if he lands next his career is at new heights, he’ll be a millionaire and all the ridicule of the last 5 years can be shoved in past. Povetkin lands first and it’s “Price needs to retire” again.

    Be proud of yourself big man. Boxed well.

    The ref was useless - reactions were 6 seconds too late.

    The last punch was certainly avoidable if a good ref was in charge.

    Thought Price was 100 times better tonight than what we have seen since Tony Thompson.

    Another brutal knockout to Price's cranium. You guys are supposed to know better.

    We all knew price was goIng to get stopped but he done much better than I expected and I say fairplay to him

    Price is very limited so to still get in there and fight with all his limitations and have a go takes bottle

    He looked really good, all things considered. I'm sure a lot of people thought it would be a blow out.

    Povetkin was sinking in plenty of nasty body shots throughout and Price still seemed composed right up until the end.

    I don't know if that's the last we'll see of him. I have a feeling he'd have mugged quite of few of the top heavies out there tonight, but Povetkin's just a specimen.

    The question's whether he'd have the same composure against someone he wasn't such an underdog against.

    I don't know, that finish was horrible though. It reminded me of Tokunbo Olajide KOing Marvin Smith. Took his senses and then turned his lights out.

    He was going to do British Level anyway so why not go and do that if he still wants to. I don’t know anything about brains but on that showing he can defo get a Euro belt. It’s ultimately up to him but that was a good performance and I can’t help but feel it was only 70% of what he’s capable of.

    The refs in the Price and Joshua fights should never be back in a boxing ring

    The big man even in defeat was the star of the show tonight and true boxing fans will admire the fact that he got into the ring with a top 5 Heavyweight and actually put in a very good performance.

    This had to be the most boring PPV card seen since Haye v Fraudley and any boxing fan will be thankful that Povetkin v Price was a good fight while it lasted.

    As for Tony Doshua, Parker was a very limited opponent with next to zero offensive skills yet Joshua landed next to nothing.

    I now think Wilder will spark him clean out and Tyson Fury coming back at 80& capacity will have him punching fresh air all night.

    Agreed. I know it’s easy for people to say I told you so, but credit still has to go to Price. He entertained us tonight. It was proper edge of the seat stuff especially with that shot with the left hand. Unlucky Pricey.

    Loved the way Eddie Hearn chucked another fighter in front of Joshua’s mandatory...”Dillian wants it”. That’s a good idea cos he’ll want to keep Povetkin as far away from AJ as he can. Povetkin would make easy work of Whyte imo.
