David Price vs. Tony Thompson II - "REDEMPTION" (build up and prediction thread)

I think Price will win via KO this time.

Credit to Price for going for the rematch, and credit to Thompson for accepting it.

 

I have to go with Thompson via TKO again. Thompson is a seasoned fighter and has seen it all before. I expect the fight to get to the mid rounds this time where Price waits for his moments to pounce on Thompson; there is no doubt Price will be more cautious. I believe Thompson is to smart and seasoned for Price. Thompson has been on the world level for a while and knows how to survive.

Thompson by TKO in the 7th.

 

Thompson outright is paying £3.33! :shock:

 

:shock:

 

After seeing Thompson in better condition,take it back about David stopping him.But I still think he can win on points boxing a bit more carefully.Really hope so.Also,two great guys.Thompson comes across as a great character,intelligent and witty.

 

Price will win easy

 

I think Pricey stops him this time, he went for the knockout too early last time and got sucker punched, patience is the key this time. Fifth round onwards.

 

Still going for Price mid round stoppage.

 

I hope David slowly breaks Tony down then stop him this time, I bet Tony first time and I really hope David's mind is in a better place than before.

 

What made you pick Tony in the first fight Billy?

 

Price wins by late stoppage or a wide points decision. He then fights Chisora with the winner of that fight facing the winner of Fury/Haye in an unofficial UK "Super Four" tournament.

 

Price will get stopped again if you ask me, Thompson stopped him with a cuffing shot last time and his legs went totally, I don't buy into any of this "behind the ear freak shot" BS at all. Thompson is in better shape this time and is clearly coming to win, he knows he can hurt price and stopped him with relative ease the first time and will be full of confidence. I don't think price believes in his own chin and he'll be thinking about what happened first time around, Thompson will be getting in his face and I think price will be rattled. He will try and box safety first behind the jab but at some point they'll get in close and Thompson will get on his chest and wail short hooks on price. He doesn't cope we'll with pressure and I can only see a Thompson win unless price can can somehow land that big bomb but I think he'll be reluctant to throw it.

 

Hope you're right,mate,and think theyre the 2 most likely scenarios,particularly the points one.Regarding Chisora,I don't think hell beat Malik Scott but Ive got a funny feeling that fight won't happen,so you could be right on that one also.

 

I like the sounds of that, but I think the Haye-Fury winner will push for a title shot, Price may get the loser instead.

 

A price points win is an odd prediction, he has never gone past 7 rounds in his career and has only ever won on points once in a 4 rounder in his 3rd fight!

There's no evidence to show that price can box to a decision against a skilled veteran in Thompson, all we've seen of price is him getting early KO's and then getting knocked out in the second round. If he wins it'll be by stoppage but the only person to stop Thompson is wlad, remains to be seen if prices power carries up to world level.
