    Career suicide that is, as Price won't have a career after Thompson tortoise-shells him again.

    How long will he last this time?

    I think Price is going to back off and hope he lures Thompson onto a honey punch. As you he loses he's done IMO. No way back for me if he gets stopped..

    I don't know how Thompson approaches the fight whether waits or whether he fancies pressing the fight. I'm also finding hard to see what major adjustments Price can make technically in a short space of time. Major part of the stoppage is his body structure being so stiff and trading. Think he's going to have to box very basic and safe..

    You'd expect Thompson to do it again at some point. Unsure what round could be cagey or could be over in a round.

    The only show Price will put on is a homosexual one with loverboy Bellew. Thats why hes on Froch Kessler PPV, Hearn thinks hes the new Paul Raymond.

    I think the result and outcome will be the same as the first, just that it will last a little bit longer.

    Price, quite rightly, will be petrified of being hit by Thompson, so will be considerably less gung ho than he was in the first round [even though he actually landed less clean shots than Thompson, ironically].

    Thompson will undoubtedly come in in much better condition and shape too.

    I think Thomspon will probably KO Price in rounds 5 or 6 this time, after some incredibly cagey opening rounds.

    There were odds on oddschecker and Thompson was like 7/4 outright, , but they took the odds down

    Thompson needs the Payday cause he won't get much else even in a victory, 1 - 2 more fights then he'd be outta the mix for good.

    Price needs the win and in good fashion too, not only to avenge the loss, but to prove that he merely (like a million others), got caught!

    it's a little hope for more things for Thompson, it's EVERTHING for Price... and good for him for doing it.

    Price will win, he'll just be very cautious.

    This will be a snoozefest. Price will be so cautious it will be awful and Thompson is a counter puncher.

    Dont know who wins

    I expect Price to win this time, maybe by late stoppage.

    The first fight was pretty comical. In that aspect the big British HW's score high marks :yep

    Why everyone suddenly thinking Thompson will win with ease

    I think thompsons danger is nicking it on points and frustrating price

    I think david shows everyone he has the power people talked about as he walks him down for a tko around halfway

    I expect David to win this time but for people to criticise him regardless because he'll likely take a much more cautious approach.

    He'll stand off and let Thompson come forward more. Normally Price is the one on the front foot but I think he'll be too weary after what happened in February.

    Price normally rushes in a like a pissed off bull. Looks for that big KO shot and the crowd who cheer him to the rafters only increase his adrenaline. This time he has to be more patient and not be so headfirst in thinking his power will knock out anyone. I expect him to fight like Wladimir does. Grind his opponent down with single shots and then finish Thompson in the 2nd half when Tony is tired. Boring but effective. People may not like it but it's seriously what he has to do.

    One worry I do have though is that perhaps if he gives Thompson a bit too much respect then Tony will gain confidence and come swinging for him. Price isn't comfortable when his opponent rushes him, we saw that against Skelton. If he panics and leaves himself open Tony can definitely put him flat on his arse again.

    David's got a lot of work to do on the 6th July but I'm confident he can do it. If he's beat again then it's surely all over at world level.

    His next fight would likely be vs fat Del which would surely be an easier night's work than Tony T, but I'm not sure Price wins this. You can say Price will be cautious, which he will, but Thompson knows he can get to him.
