    Say what you like about Pricey, but the man is a sportsman and a true gent. You would see no sour grapes after he gets KO'ed (and that is from a very large sample size).

    Big Plumber Pricey folded Joshua in sparring and beat Tyson Fury in the amateurs, too, as you say, he just seemed to struggle under the bright lights. I remember him nearly flatlining Povetkin and screaming the house down, only for him to get folded like a deckchair about 3 minutes later, classic Pricey. Would much rather see him on analysis than Bellew, though.

    Missed it but not shocked by this. Nick Ball is a good fighter but he’s tiny and he’s there to be hit. I bet this was a helluva until the end

    Yeah, I could understand if maybe Fig had mocked Ball when he was down or something but he didn't and he's a classy guy not that it would be justifiable even if he had but that was just thugs being sore losers and kicking off for no reason. Cain needs to be punished severely and now he will have turned so many fans against him

    Let's not forget Tony Thompson and Teper both knocked out Price and then failed drug tests as well. Thompson always gets a free pass when failed drug tests get brought up. Don't think I've heard Pricey bring it up once.

    This is the misconception people seem to have when it comes to supporting their own from this city. Win lose or draw, no one here really cares, if you represent yourself well and you represent the City of Liverpool then youll be supported regardless, hence why Pricey will forever be a cult hero here regardless of getting sausaged numerous times. All 4 Smith brothers are prime examples too.

    Bellew is a bit of a sticky one, hes kinda got that personality which makes you love him or hate him regardless of where you are from. The City will be gutted for Nick Ball, like we were gutted for Paddy Pimblett 2 weeks ago. We have no problem with our fighters losing, especially when its to stand up solid likeable guys like Figgy and Justin Gaethje.

    Couple of bad apples reacting badly shouldnt reflect on the behaviour of the majority.

    As for Jack Turner, the future is very bright.

    Same, especially because I'm a motormouth that can't shut the **** up, as you're aware.:lol: I'm great at multitasking, but I still haven't mastered doing a RBR and talking on the phone at the same time. That would be a rough one to sort out.:lol: But it's happened to me on here, more times than I can count. Usually if I go silent, or default to just putting up something like "Figs 7-5" that's usually an indication.

    :lol: I score an F for multitasking. I'm terrible at it. I find it hard enough to concentrate on one thing nevermind two or more. If someone talks to me in person when I'm on the phone I start to feel myself transforming into the Incredible Hulk lol. I hate having to watch fights and simultaneously type on my phone during RBR's whilst trying to do so

    He doesn't seem to dwell on any of that stuff. Last interview he I saw and it was brought it was something along of the lines of "it is what is thats boxing for you I dont really dwell on it"

    Pricey living his retired life, flourishing in his gigantic suit, staying in his lane, at peace, maximum zen.

    Just seen the result and aftermath, disgraceful. Wasn’t like Ball was completely poleaxed and clearly messed up.
    ‘That’s life’ as I’ve heard him say. Ref looked like he was talking to his little son Ball is so small.
    Nick Ball the boxer with the most unboxer-ish name in history can go back to working as Willy Wonkas accountant.

    I've heard his name mentioned quite a lot before, think I might have seen him fight before but not sure if it was a whole fight or fights, and for some reason I thought he was Scottish but I think I was getting him confused with another British fighter
