If David Price faces someone with 4/10 power or 5/10 chin or higher, he is getting sparked cold. Kuzmin KTFO 2
It's possible. Price has power, so he always has a punchers' chance, and Kuzmin isn't difficult to hit. That being said, I expect Kuzmin to win by KO.
@GALVATRON - How do you predict this one goes tonight? I'm close to pulling the trigger on Price KO (4-1) but am hesitant.
Agreed. Price gets KOed badly within 5 rounds. Kuzmin may not be all that but I doubt he sucks so hard he doesn't KO Price.
That's Pricey's big problem. He lacks any of the 3 things that are essential for a tall HW to derail forward rushing attacker type fighters: 1. A good solid uppercut that stops a forward rushing fighter in his tracks 2. A good jab that delays and makes your opponent abort attacks 3. A solid chin that allows you to take punishment when the forward rushing attacker does manage to land If you have none of the above (like Pricey) you're in for trouble.
Goes to show that being very good at one thing can compensate for deficiencies in other areas -- to an extent. Even at world level.
Just logged on... Price just quit on stool... would have maybe picked price by K.O ? Not really sure which is why I didn't make prediction. hard to pick a guy after a brutal K.o and take a fight on weeks notice....but I would have gambled with Price I think. Was really a question mark...Price ending on his stool in a fight hes in wasn't exactly a good way.
Kuzmin is still a dark horse at HW. a lot of doubters but I think he'll do a lot better than many think.
@GALVATRON Luckily I decided against betting. After reading others predictions on here and with the Thompson 2 and Hammer bankroll-busters lingering painfully in the memory, I decided against going for the hat-trick. Just as well too, I need to save every bean to back the Chechan savage against the leprechaun with the Price-like gas tank.
