David Price v.s Ondrej Pala 4/12

Well, possibly. But if we're talking flash KD than a flash knockdown from Pala (who can bang) is a bit less embarrassing than a KD from Sconiers vis-a-vis Wilder.

Whether he can go on to big things remains to be seen - but he looked a lot better in the second round when he started using his jab more.

 

Just watched the fight and saw both pros and cons. On the con side his balance was terrible, no way should that slap have knocked down a 250 pound man. He also still doesn't tuck his chin well and he a total mark for a counter right hand. He doesn't have the nimble athleticism to bounce away from one like a Klitschko so I think Brooks should change his guard and elevate it.

On the pro sign. One he listens very well, he went out and did exactley what Brooks asked of him after round one and it worked which will only help his confidence in himself and his corner. Brooks is a good trainer and he will continue to improve under him. Two he stayed calm that first knockdown could of been a total melting point. Three his knock out of pala was far more definitive than Chisora (who was also more legitimately wobbled by Pala who is a decent fighter) showing again that Price has elite power.
I feel he is a KO waiting to happen eventually but I also think on any given night he could probably flatten anyone in the division. A true wildcard. Stick with Brooks and hopefully he does ok.

 

Good fight. Actually these types of fights Price should have fought before Thompson. Instead he was matched with guys who came to lose, teaching him nothing. A bad management. He is not a super talent, but he is decent and definitely fun to watch.

 

That was no flash KD, he got clipped and went down like a sack of ****. Feel for the lad because his power is absolutely top, top notch.

 

He does look fragile in there. That said, he showed heart getting off the canvas and finishing the fight quickly.

Price still is very much work in progress, I certainly wouldn't be chucking him in the ring with anyone half decent in his next two fights.

 

His confidence looks shaky like he is afraid to be hit because he feels disasrer will strike. Hopefully a win like this will help ease those fears. He needs to continue using that jab too.

 

What bollocks. That knockdown was no Thompson Mark 1.

 

That knockdown was because his feet were squared up nothing more. He was fine. Still needs to work on it though.

 

Price can flatten anyone with that power but he went down himself far too easy in round 1.

 

I hope the big man does well in the future - good bloke

 

He needs to be matched carefully for awhile and he needs to stay active. I wonder who his next opponent will be.

 

I cannot dislike the bloke but his boxing skills are very limited and any cute heavyweight with pop will knock him out.

He is far too stiff and robotic and his footwork is very poor,Chisora and Fury would KO him with ease.

 

Price was put down with a little clip around the back of the ear and looked a little shaky to me, he was not out on his feet but definitely felt it.

Decent enough win considering he got put on his backside.

 

Hammer is a good opponent I was thinking the same thing or Lucas Browne and hasn't Shannon Briggs been saying he's back.
