    I've seen a couple of articles on twitter suggesting this isn't the mismatch it's (hypothetically) being billed as. Mostly pointing to Price's AM career etc

    Just a simple aye or naw...irrelevant of the fact it's a world title fight...is this a mismatch as a standalone fight?

    If Price catches aj it's game over and the same the other way around.

    People talk about speed as if aj is faster but he isn't,Price i think has the longer reach and would defo keep aj at bay with his power

    Price is too slow and cumbersome. Soon as he gets touched its over

    Very hard fight at this stage for David, he should take his time and rebuild, beating to very poor journeymen shouldn't give you a world title shot.
    However good his punch is, his defence is questionable at the highest level

    Yes . Price is way to tentative . That weak jab gets easily countered with a Joshua right hand and it's over . Fight wouldn't go past round 1

    This would be the sequel to Haye v Fraudley

    Correct and the fight with Molina equally unexciting being the equivalent of Joshua v Love.

    We have went from Klitchsko and Parker to Price and Molina - an absolute joke both fights yet plenty of mugs will buy Sky Box Office.

    I know Jennings was mentioned the other day...in terms of opponent I see it as Jennings>Molina>Price to be honest

    If Price lands that right hand it could get very interesting otherwise it'll be a short night's work for Joshua.

    Bit of joke that it's on Box Office.

    Yes it's a mismatch, and not only because of Price's whiskers, he simply isn't very good.

    2 plodding unexciting tanks already pumped is not going to sell Sky Box Office.

    The Heavyweight Division is a farce full of 100/0 fights at World Level.

    Price is gonna be fearful of being knocked out. He is a power punchers wet dream, although he has a good punchers chance himself tbf. But i think AJ would win this one before the fighters even get in the ring.

    That's the problem mate, it will still sell and probably quite well if it's Price. Domestic battle + a touted power puncher = casual's wet dream

    If it turns out to be at all competitive AJ's reputation will take a hit.
    AJ should knock Price out in 1 or 2 rounds.
