I really thought Harrison came to fight. He didn't run, looked to throw shots, and got caught. He trained hard, gave it a go, but just wasn't nearly good enough, as usual. Give the man a brake. If two British heavyweights are fighting each other, obviously someone has to end up horizontal quickly.
Great post cableaddict. I do think Price is the front runner for the future of the division in the post Wlad era.
Price could do no more no matter what shape Audley was in or whatever. He is a real prospect, and should get a shot at Wladamir in the next year - 18 months.
While I like Price a lot as a fighter.. AH has never been anything more than a complete joke of a boxer in his pro career.
Most people already predicted this would happen. It's impressive how he did it though, but let's not get carried away here... It's Audley 'yes I'm a can' Harrison he took out in dominant fashion, not some top 20 fighter or anything. I really think Price has the goods, but we have to see him against a real contender to see how good he really is.
The dude is 14-0. When you're 14-0 you SHOULD be fighting low level comp. I think he's ready for Fury though and would pick him. No harm in staying busy and retiring Skelton in December.
The same Tyson Fury who fights cab drivers from Belfast, Canada and New York and then calls Wlad out on Twitter? Fury's not in the same league as Price.
In ring ya, not on paper. Price is a non ranked prospect fighting a no hoper (who is no worse then Rahman) Povetkin is a belt holder and rated number 2 in the division.
