    Apparently this fight will be announced shortly.

    Seriously, why does Hearn hate Price so much? Another KO loss incoming..

    It's just mugging the people who love to see him KOed now. He obvs has a following in the regard. I must admit I enjoyed it but that was before the run of disgraceful mismatches. It's just a bit sordid now. Can't he try at least rebuild his career. He isn't ancient and maybe back to the drawing board and a run of 10 soft fights slowly building might provide him with some success like the Lonsdale belt.

    Depends on how damaged Takam is after being knocked out by Del Boy.
    honestly think it's a pick em because of Prices power and equally his dodgy chin.

    another 4 round shootout

    price vs helenius or allen would've been a safer fight for pricey, oh well

    That Price sure doesn't disappear after a bad loss, does he? He'll sign contracts and it's difficult to imagine him being on the circuit around 2023.

    It's absolutely wild to me that David Price and David Allen are regular props for a PPV show now.

    This fight is OK, I'm not overly excited by it as they're both coming off of losses. Price is always fun to watch for all sorts of reasons so there's that element of it at least

    It would be more interesting to match Price with the likes of Dimitrenko, Ustinov, Allen, Browne, Arreola, Cornish, Abell, Molina, Helenius,...

    decent fight.

    Price can have no complaints about Hearn no giving him fights.

    Price looses by KO again he has to retire for his own safety.

    he wasn't doing too bad against kuzmin, he needs to keep the opponent at range, close up he's crap

    He was totally gassed after 4 rounds. Kuzmin is also nothing special. Price can't keep anyone at distance.. Takam will destroy him on the inside.

    Takam is solid. Not a great puncher but will wear out Plumber Price in a few rounds. Won't be a brutal ko, rather Price probably retiring after about he 5th panting like an asthmatic 90 year old.

    Price does have a punchers chance though.

    Pick em fight. Pricey was doing well vs Povetkin and Kuzmin on the cards but his body / chin let him down as usual.

    Oh dear.

    Everytime Price says he's going to take an easy fight next he never takes an easy fight next.

    Kuzmin was his chance to get back into it. He just has a mental block whenever he's in against someone good. He has no real chance here, takam is twice the fighter kuzmin was, even accounting for sstyle.Price shouldreally retire, but if he wants to go on, he shouldn't match up with guys at this level, but people like helenius.
