Pulev is fighting Adamek in the final elimator for the IBF title. I wonder will Pulev have to vacate the EBU title? If so Price could fight for the vacant title.
If Price fights Sprott or Towers next I swear I am ****ing done with him. I know it's hard to find good opponents in the HW division but if 3 of your last 4 opponents have been Audley Harrison, Matt Skelton and Michael Sprott your just taking the ****ing ****. And to think people will buy tickets for this, Let's all go watch Price knock another old past it fighter out in a round or 2. Woop-dee-****ing-doo. If Maloney can't get him good fights he needs to jump ship.
If Pulev vacates then Price would almost certainly get a shot at the EBU title. Against whom is anyone's guess- maybe Helenius or Chisora.
Thompson is a decent test for Price. Once he beats him though he needs to step up and fight someone closer to the Klitschko's level. He can't step back and fight chumps like Sprott or Towers. I'd like to see him face Helenius after this; then move up to someone like Adamek before facing one of the Klitschkos.
He's still raw and learning and I think stopping Harrison, McDermott, sexton and Skelton weren't a bad twelve months tbh
Does the Thompson fight really excite anyone though? For me personally I see straight through it, if it wasn't for the fact he lost to Klitschko no one would be arsed in the slightest. And 41 years old? 99% of fighters are done by that age, and I'm talking about people who were a lot ****ing better in their prime than Tony Thompson. I like Price a lot, I think he has skills and he seems like a good guy and he's british so naturally I want to root for him but I find myself taking the **** on here about him more and more. His matchmaking is a ****ing JOKE. Can anyone else please tell me any other up and coming fighter in HISTORY who got matched with three 40+ in a row? Is there one really? I doubt it, but someone please prove me wrong because it's a shocking state of affairs. Absolute ****ing joke if you ask me.
No. He's been offered $40k. At his age, it's not the sort of sum that'll excite him either. If it's over here, once all his bills have been paid he'd barely earn a dime out of it....
If we are being honest, for the number of fights he's not fighting anyone wrong. The problem is his age, Haye for example had already beaten valuev at this age, so priceneeds to really sstep it up
Yep.... offers Fury the equivalent of $1m, and then Thompson $40k. If I was Thompson, I'd want a bit more respect, and would tell Mismatch to go **** himself. Fury should have accepted the offer and said ''show me the money''. Would be funny to see the garden gnome worm his way out of that one.
