    Have you seen Price's stamina fail him time and time again? Have you seen how good Dave Allen's chin is? Have you seen how weak Price's chin is? Allen should stop him mid rounds imo. Allen will survive any onslaught that Price will throw at him before eventually stopping him probably with an overhand right knocking Price spark out.

    Chisora v Szpilka could be interesting. I favour Szpilka in this one as long as his chin holds up which isn't the greatest. Chisora doesn't like facing movers and Szpilka is one of the better ones in the division but his chin lets him down a lot of the time. Wouldn't suprise me if Chisora won by robbery tbh.

    My predictions.

    Price stops Allen.

    Del gets a late win.

    Whyte gets stopped late on.

    I think Allens chin is gone as well. Slurring his words and has a terrible defense. Price wins this unless he's falling over again of exhaustion.

    Who saw the Rivas vs Whyte staredown???

    That was intense I like Rivas he seems cool and felt sorry for him when Whyte stared him down

    Rivas looked away like a shy cat.. made feel a bit guilty for him

    I have watched all of both their fights over the last few years and you are talking like Allen has a really good tank. Price has struggled against top opponents, but this time he doesn't have one of those in the other corner and looks in the best shape I've seen him.

    If Lucas Browne can out box Allen then this shouldn't be too hard a night for Price if he plays it smart

    These stare downs drive me nuts and I wouldn't read too much into it. One has to break or they'd be there forever.

    That's a bobby dazzler of a stare down. Ghokan a bit fidgety but it looked like neither blinked for 2 minutes. Pass the Optrex.

    I have only a passing interest in mma but having watched that fight and witnessing Saki kicking the living daylights out of Melvin, am happy with the staredown predictions not meaning much. Nice fight that though - some good crisp shots. ty Aydamn.

    Allen can still go the distance in fights, Price can't. FWIW, I don't rate Allen but he stops Price. The fight goes the same way as thee Hammer fight went imo.

    I don't rate Price either, I like David Allen more in general but I am intrigued to see how this one goes - partly because my thoughts on it seem mostly against the grain. I agree that Price has stamina issues but they are issues that have shown up at levels beyond what Allen is likely to challenge him with. Hammer is a completely different beast to David Allen, and Price showed up against Hammer out of shape.

    We don't know until it happens, and either result would not shock me but I'm just putting my 2c out there because it seems more interesting when I normally agree with the majority/more known members and it could be a discussion point afterwards regardless of what the result. Looking forward to Sunday, regardless!

    Whyte KO
    Chisora KO
    Allen KO

    And Price decision is a good value? Yeah if it was a 4 rounder :risas3:

    I'm kind of relieved this played out almost exactly how I expected, it felt like twilight zone with everyone else favouring Allen when I just couldn't see what he has done to make it look like he can operate at the level required to bring the worst out in Price. This wasn't a shock difference in form from Price, it was just showing the levels. Price should stay away from the top guys if he doesn't want to get hurt

    I apologise to you and everyone else I got this one horribly wrong. I usually have zero faith in Price's gas tank and thought he would just fall over to Allen but got this one badly wrong.
