    I heard Pov's barber win a bet with Danny Garcia's barber.

    If the ring post had not been there The drugs cheat would have been on his butt cheeks.

    If your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle.

    Point is, Pov wasn't decked last night. He had a bit of a balance issue for a brief instant.

    There are infinite examples of guys with glass jaws coming off the floor to deck people.

    Ridiculous assertion.

    Yeah, nobody loves Price more than me, but the idea that he doesn't have poor punch resistance is a strange one.

    As usual with choklab, this will come down to what is really meant by glass jaw, so he'll be right.

    I do think price should retire. He’s had some concussions now.

    That last shot he took he was an open target.

    He came to fight and was really pissed when he first got dropped.Povetkin was heading for the floor when he got tagged, the ropes kept him up.On that performance Povetkin has gone back, I would favour not only AJ to beat him but Dillian Whyte too!

    It would be a wise move imo.

    He's been ready to retire once before, and gave it another go. I hope he retires, but he may have had enough success there to talk himself back round. I hope he gives it a miss, but people would like to see him again I think. Which is weird.

    I think that might have been the original plan but,on that performance I don't think it will sell big.More likely and more viable imo, is Povetkin v Whyte and I pick Whyte!

    Financially it probably beats plumbing for a living,but long term cerebral damage must be a concern.

    Yes, I don’t like seeing stuff like that. Technically price was in no position to defend himself but he was on his feet and there would have been uproar if the ref stopped it before the free shot. Not many but the most ruthless would go in for a head shot at that moment but Povetkin had no qualms about it. Bit like Cooney vs Norton.

    Yes it was amateur night from the third man,where did they get that clown from? I was moaning about the constant interruption every time they clinched and the loose tape on AJ's glove, the daughters thought I was joking when I said it could injure an eye, they kept asking me why Parker was all greasy? Dumb broads. A big fight like that deserves a top referee which that muppet emphatically was not.

    What was telling to me is that Parker at 6'4"and 231lbs was too small and too out reached to really trouble AJ.Saying that he fought a passive fight for the first half,tactics that I can only interpret as," make him expend his energy and then step on the gas late" trouble was he really didn't put his foot down enough.

    I hear Parker did not commit enough to win. Povetkin will even if he’s old
